The application provides a deep-water
breakwater foundation settlement monitoring method and
system, and relates to the technical field of ocean
engineering. The method comprises the following steps: based on a
breakwater design drawing, a plurality of
hydrophone nodes are installed in at least two monitoring areas of an
underwater foundation and connected to a monitoring host, and an
underwater acoustic monitoring network is generated; the network nodes are controlled to synchronously collect
underwater sound pressure fluctuation signals, and multi-channel
sound pressure signal data is obtained; based on the data, two-by-two cross-correlation calculation is performed on different node channel signals, and a
noise interference spectrum is obtained; time
delay values and energy values of stable cross-correlation peaks in the spectrum are identified and measured, and cross-
correlation function characteristic parameters are generated; finally, based on the parameters, a pre-trained settlement inversion model is used for calculation, and settlement distribution information of the
breakwater foundation is generated, so that non-contact, wide-area, continuous and quantitative monitoring of the deep-water breakwater foundation settlement is realized.
