Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in efficiently inspecting and evaluating the state of slopes, particularly in detecting deformations and signs of deterioration, which are difficult to quantify through visual inspections.
Innovation Solution
The state inspection system utilizes a mobile apparatus system equipped with image capturing devices and sensors to acquire data, which is then processed to create surface and cross-section images. These images are used to detect shape data and deformations, enabling efficient evaluation of slope states.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If visual inspection methods are used to inspect slopes, then the inspection process is simple and quick, but the detection precision and accuracy of deformations and deterioration signs are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual visual inspection with an automated image processing system that uses cameras to capture slope images and computer processing units to analyze deformations. This substitution of mechanical/visual inspection with optical and computational systems significantly improves detection precision while managing system complexity through automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates digital copies (images) of the slope surface and processes these copies to detect deformations and deterioration signs. By working with image data rather than direct physical measurement, the system achieves high measurement precision while maintaining operational simplicity through automated image analysis algorithms.
2Measurement precision
If detailed image processing is performed to detect deformations, then the detection accuracy improves, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The image processing is divided into multiple stages: capturing images, processing images to extract features, comparing with reference data, and generating inspection results. This segmentation allows the system to perform detailed analysis only where necessary while maintaining overall processing efficiency through staged computation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary image capture and initial processing before final analysis. By pre-processing images to extract key features and compare against reference data in advance, the system reduces the computational burden during final detection while maintaining high accuracy in identifying deformations and deterioration signs.
