This invention discloses a method for JRC
estimation based on
Hausdorff distance. The method involves extracting the coordinates of 10 standard profiles of Barton's structural surfaces with a sampling interval of dx. Based on the extracted x and
y coordinate data, the cumulative slope of each standard profile is calculated, forming a cumulative slope data sequence of standard curves. The structural surface curves are then measured in the field, and the coordinates of the measured curves are extracted with a sampling interval of dx. The cumulative slope of the measured curves is calculated, forming a cumulative slope data sequence of measured data. The
Hausdorff distance between the cumulative slope of the measured curves and the cumulative slope of the standard curves is calculated. The standard profile of the structural surface most similar to the measured curve is identified, and its corresponding JRC value is assigned to the measured curve, ultimately estimating the JRC value of the measured curve. This invention achieves JRC value
estimation based on the self-similarity of the cumulative slope of the curves, avoiding the arbitrariness and subjectivity in determining the JRC value caused by comparing
visual observation with standard profiles.
