Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunnel safety monitoring and geological disaster prevention and control technology, and in particular to a method and system for accurate measurement of seepage in tunnel surrounding rock. Background Technology
[0002] During tunnel construction, seepage at the tunnel face is a core characteristic reflecting the integrity of the surrounding rock structure and the state of groundwater activity. Its detection and identification results directly determine the rationality of tunnel construction safety control strategies and drainage engineering design schemes. Existing methods for detecting seepage at tunnel faces have many technical shortcomings, making it difficult to meet the high-precision, automated monitoring requirements of actual engineering projects. Specific shortcomings are as follows:
[0003] 1. Traditional inspection relies on manual inspection and visual observation. The inspection results are greatly affected by the operator's experience and subjective judgment, resulting in low accuracy. Moreover, in the complex environment of tunnels with high humidity, high temperature and insufficient light, it is easy to miss or misjudge water seepage areas.
[0004] 2. Although infrared thermal imaging technology has been applied to seepage detection, the temperature difference at the tunnel face is small, and infrared images have problems such as low resolution and poor signal-to-noise ratio. The temperature response of the seepage area is close to that of the background, and the automatic recognition accuracy of traditional threshold or edge detection methods is insufficient.
[0005] 3. The application results of deep learning semantic segmentation models in the field of natural imagery are difficult to directly transfer to infrared data, and the scene annotation data for tunnel seepage detection is scarce, resulting in high model training and deployment costs and poor generalization ability.
[0006] 4. Existing detection methods neglect the fusion of infrared images and three-dimensional geometric information, making it impossible to accurately project the seepage identification results onto the three-dimensional spatial model of the tunnel. This makes it difficult to achieve precise spatial positioning and quantitative analysis of the seepage area, and thus cannot provide comprehensive and accurate technical support for engineering decisions.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a precise method and system for measuring seepage in tunnel surrounding rock to solve the existing technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and proposes a method and system for accurate measurement of seepage in tunnel surrounding rock.
[0009] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for accurately measuring seepage in tunnel surrounding rock, comprising:
[0010] Multimodal sensing data of the surrounding rock of the tunnel is collected, including infrared data, visible light data and laser point cloud data;
[0011] The multimodal sensing data are fused to establish a tunnel surrounding rock feature map data;
[0012] Infrared data of the surrounding rock of the tunnel are processed to extract the seepage area;
[0013] Based on the tunnel surrounding rock feature map data, an image geographic reference of infrared data and point cloud data is established for the seepage area;
[0014] Based on the image georeferenced data of the infrared data and point cloud data, the seepage is accurately measured, the measurement results are output, and an alarm is generated according to relevant standards.
[0015] Furthermore, a handheld SLAM device integrating multiple sensors is used to collect multimodal perception data of the tunnel surrounding rock. The specific steps include:
[0016] Infrared camera, visible light camera, lidar, RTK positioning module and interactive touch module are installed on the body of mobile handheld measuring device to ensure that the fields of view of each sensor overlap and the lidar field of view is unobstructed.

The point cloud and camera image data are aligned according to the timestamp, and the image is projected onto the point cloud coordinate system to achieve multimodal data fusion, generating a surrounding rock feature map that includes geometric shape, surface texture and thermal radiation distribution.
[0023] Further, the infrared data of the tunnel surrounding rock is processed to extract the seepage area. Specific steps include:

[0027] Temporal consistency screening and result refinement are performed. Temporal consistency analysis is conducted on the continuous frame water seepage probability map. The final water seepage area mask is obtained by combining morphological operations or conditional random field processing.
[0028] Furthermore, bilateral filtering is used for joint noise reduction. The specific methods include: suppressing noise by weighting the spatial domain and the pixel value domain, limiting contrast adaptive histogram equalization to calculate the cumulative distribution function for each local block to achieve image enhancement, and using bicubic interpolation or a super-resolution algorithm based on deep learning to improve resolution.
[0029] Furthermore, the multi-channel feature tensor is constructed by combining the infrared image preprocessing results, the second-order gradient features of the Laplacian operator, the first-order gradient features of the Sobel operator, the local mean features, and the local variance features.
[0030] Furthermore, the lightweight convolutional neural network segmentation model is a DeepLabV3+ network based on MobileNet or ShuffleNet backbone, which learns the difference between the seepage area and the background area through pixel-level binary classification.
[0031] Furthermore, based on the tunnel surrounding rock feature map data, an image georeference of infrared data and point cloud data is established for the seepage area. The specific steps include: based on the extrinsic parameter transformation matrix of the infrared camera and lidar, establishing the projection relationship between the pixel points and the collected point cloud, and mapping the pixel-level seepage area of the seepage area mask onto the point cloud model or three-dimensional mesh model.
[0032] Furthermore, based on the image georeferenced representation of the infrared data and point cloud data, precise water seepage measurement is performed, specifically including the following steps:
[0033] The seepage area mask is processed, and a complete and continuous seepage distribution area is obtained through morphological closing operation, connected component filtering, and merging of adjacent small regions.

[0036] The system monitors and warns of water seepage. When the intensity or area of seepage exceeds a preset threshold, it automatically generates alarm information indicating the location and severity of the abnormal area, outputs the measurement results, and generates alarms according to relevant standards.
[0037] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide a precise measurement system for seepage in tunnel surrounding rock, comprising a multimodal sensing data acquisition and processing unit, a tunnel surrounding rock feature map data establishment unit, a deep-water area extraction unit, an image geographic reference establishment unit, and a precise seepage measurement unit; wherein:

[0060] In this embodiment, a handheld SLAM device integrating multiple sensors is used to collect multimodal perception data of tunnel surrounding rock. The specific steps include:
[0061] S101. Infrared camera, visible light camera, LiDAR, RTK positioning module, and interactive touch module are installed onto the mobile handheld measuring device body, ensuring overlapping fields of view for each sensor and unobstructed LiDAR field of view. Specifically, the infrared camera, visible light camera, LiDAR, RTK positioning module, and interactive touch module are installed onto the mobile handheld measuring device body, which includes a support frame, power module, and data acquisition and storage module, ensuring that each sensor is stably fixed and has a reasonable installation angle to achieve comprehensive coverage of the tunnel face area. It should be noted that the reasonable installation angle here refers to the LiDAR having a suitable installation angle to avoid other components or devices on the device body or users occupying a large portion of the LiDAR's field of view. Furthermore, there should be sufficient overlap in the fields of view between each pair of the visible light camera, infrared camera, and LiDAR. Through the above integration, multimodal integrated imaging of infrared thermal imaging, visible light imaging, and laser point cloud acquisition is achieved.

Specifically, perform time synchronization and formatted parsing on multi-source data to extract point cloud data and equipment attitude data. Employ a laser-inertial fusion-based SLAM mapping algorithm (such as LIO-SAM, FAST-LIO2, or VINS-Fusion) to complete the 3D reconstruction of the tunnel space after eliminating sensor drift and motion distortion. This algorithm can estimate the pose changes of the equipment inside the tunnel in real time and construct a dense point cloud map containing the geometric features of the tunnel surrounding rock.
[0066] S202. Save the acquisition trajectory and pose files, recording the timestamps and corresponding pose parameters of the device's acquisition process; specifically, during the mapping process, the system simultaneously saves the device's acquisition movement trajectory files, which contain the acquisition timestamps and corresponding device poses (position and attitude parameters) at each moment. These data constitute the basis for subsequent spatiotemporal registration of multimodal fusion;

[0074] in , These are the Gaussian space kernel and the pixel similarity Gaussian kernel, respectively. This is the normalization factor. Subsequently, contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) is used to enhance the infrared image, improving local contrast and suppressing over-amplified noise. The cumulative distribution function (CDF) is calculated for each local block, and its mathematical expression is:
[0075]
[0076] Next, the single-channel infrared image is pseudo-color mapped, and the temperature value is mapped to the RGB space using standard color tables (such as JET and TURBO). In order to adapt to the subsequent network input requirements, bicubic interpolation or a super-resolution algorithm based on deep learning is used to improve the resolution of the image.

[0092]
[0093] in The time-weighted coefficient, This is a normalization constant. When When the pixel is identified as a persistent water seepage area, further refinement of the segmentation result is achieved using conditional random fields or morphological operations to obtain the final water seepage area mask. The mathematical expression for mask refinement is as follows:
[0094]
[0095] This enables accurate and stable identification of water seepage areas at the tunnel face.

Based on the corresponding extrinsic parameter transformation matrix of the infrared camera and lidar, a projection relationship between pixels and the collected point cloud is established. Based on this projection relationship, pixel-level water seepage areas are masked within the infrared image. Mapping to point cloud model or 3D mesh model In this process, a georeferenced image of water seepage infrared imagery was established.
