The point bar, being about 4 km in length and several tensto more than 100 meters in width, is located on the south side of the Shengli Bridge in KenliCounty, Dongying, Shandong. It is a typical fine-grained point bar with silt, which is predominant,some clay and minor plant debris and clay boulders. The Shengli I Point bar has complicated 3-Dstructures. Firstly, in a plane view, it comprises mainly eight sedimentary units, bar edge, baredge, bar platform, bar plain, bar channel, bar gully, bar pond and bar bay, developing side by sideand superimposed one by one m a complex way. Secondly, its vertical structures are very complex dueto the partial superimposition of the 8 sedimentary units. Besides hydatogenesis, very intensivewind erosion, eolian, ice and meltwater actions are also visible on the Shengli I point bar. Thecomplex form is made even more complicated because of the above co-actions.展开更多

文摘Gobi spans a large area of China,surpassing the combined expanse of mobile dunes and semi-fixed dunes.Its presence significantly influences the movement of sand and dust.However,the complex origins and diverse materials constituting the Gobi result in notable differences in saltation processes across various Gobi surfaces.It is challenging to describe these processes according to a uniform morphology.Therefore,it becomes imperative to articulate surface characteristics through parameters such as the three-dimensional(3D)size and shape of gravel.Collecting morphology information for Gobi gravels is essential for studying its genesis and sand saltation.To enhance the efficiency and information yield of gravel parameter measurements,this study conducted field experiments in the Gobi region across Dunhuang City,Guazhou County,and Yumen City(administrated by Jiuquan City),Gansu Province,China in March 2023.A research framework and methodology for measuring 3D parameters of gravel using point cloud were developed,alongside improved calculation formulas for 3D parameters including gravel grain size,volume,flatness,roundness,sphericity,and equivalent grain size.Leveraging multi-view geometry technology for 3D reconstruction allowed for establishing an optimal data acquisition scheme characterized by high point cloud reconstruction efficiency and clear quality.Additionally,the proposed methodology incorporated point cloud clustering,segmentation,and filtering techniques to isolate individual gravel point clouds.Advanced point cloud algorithms,including the Oriented Bounding Box(OBB),point cloud slicing method,and point cloud triangulation,were then deployed to calculate the 3D parameters of individual gravels.These systematic processes allow precise and detailed characterization of individual gravels.For gravel grain size and volume,the correlation coefficients between point cloud and manual measurements all exceeded 0.9000,confirming the feasibility of the proposed methodology for measuring 3D parameters of individual gravels.The proposed workflow yields accurate calculations of relevant parameters for Gobi gravels,providing essential data support for subsequent studies on Gobi environments.

文摘The spatial distribution of discontinuities and the size of rock blocks are the key indicators for rock mass quality evaluation and rockfall risk assessment.Traditional manual measurement is often dangerous or unreachable at some high-steep rock slopes.In contrast,unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)photogrammetry is not limited by terrain conditions,and can efficiently collect high-precision three-dimensional(3D)point clouds of rock masses through all-round and multiangle photography for rock mass characterization.In this paper,a new method based on a 3D point cloud is proposed for discontinuity identification and refined rock block modeling.The method is based on four steps:(1)Establish a point cloud spatial topology,and calculate the point cloud normal vector and average point spacing based on several machine learning algorithms;(2)Extract discontinuities using the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise(DBSCAN)algorithm and fit the discontinuity plane by combining principal component analysis(PCA)with the natural breaks(NB)method;(3)Propose a method of inserting points in the line segment to generate an embedded discontinuity point cloud;and(4)Adopt a Poisson reconstruction method for refined rock block modeling.The proposed method was applied to an outcrop of an ultrahigh steep rock slope and compared with the results of previous studies and manual surveys.The results show that the method can eliminate the influence of discontinuity undulations on the orientation measurement and describe the local concave-convex characteristics on the modeling of rock blocks.The calculation results are accurate and reliable,which can meet the practical requirements of engineering.

文摘Large-scale point cloud datasets form the basis for training various deep learning networks and achieving high-quality network processing tasks.Due to the diversity and robustness constraints of the data,data augmentation(DA)methods are utilised to expand dataset diversity and scale.However,due to the complex and distinct characteristics of LiDAR point cloud data from different platforms(such as missile-borne and vehicular LiDAR data),directly applying traditional 2D visual domain DA methods to 3D data can lead to networks trained using this approach not robustly achieving the corresponding tasks.To address this issue,the present study explores DA for missile-borne LiDAR point cloud using a Monte Carlo(MC)simulation method that closely resembles practical application.Firstly,the model of multi-sensor imaging system is established,taking into account the joint errors arising from the platform itself and the relative motion during the imaging process.A distortion simulation method based on MC simulation for augmenting missile-borne LiDAR point cloud data is proposed,underpinned by an analysis of combined errors between different modal sensors,achieving high-quality augmentation of point cloud data.The effectiveness of the proposed method in addressing imaging system errors and distortion simulation is validated using the imaging scene dataset constructed in this paper.Comparative experiments between the proposed point cloud DA algorithm and the current state-of-the-art algorithms in point cloud detection and single object tracking tasks demonstrate that the proposed method can improve the network performance obtained from unaugmented datasets by over 17.3%and 17.9%,surpassing SOTA performance of current point cloud DA algorithms.

文摘Aerodynamic evaluation under multi-condition is indispensable for the design of aircraft,and the requirement for mass data still means a high cost.To address this problem,we propose a novel point-cloud multi-condition aerodynamics transfer learning(PCMCA-TL)framework that enables aerodynamic prediction in data-scarce sce-narios by transferring knowledge from well-learned scenarios.We modified the PointNeXt segmentation archi-tecture to a PointNeXtReg+regression model,including a working condition input module.The model is first pre-trained on a public dataset with 2000 shapes but only one working condition and then fine-tuned on a multi-condition small-scale spaceplane dataset.The effectiveness of the PCMCA-TL framework is verified by comparing the pressure coefficients predicted by direct training,pre-training,and TL models.Furthermore,by comparing the aerodynamic force coefficients calculated by predicted pressure coefficients in seconds with the correspond-ing CFD results obtained in hours,the accuracy highlights the development potential of deep transfer learning in aerodynamic evaluation.
文摘This study presents a framework for the semi-automatic detection of rock discontinuities using a threedimensional(3D)point cloud(PC).The process begins by selecting an appropriate neighborhood size,a critical step for feature extraction from the PC.The effects of different neighborhood sizes(k=5,10,20,50,and 100)have been evaluated to assess their impact on classification performance.After that,17 geometric and spatial features were extracted from the PC.Next,ensemble methods,AdaBoost.M2,random forest,and decision tree,have been compared with Artificial Neural Networks to classify the main discontinuity sets.The McNemar test indicates that the classifiers are statistically significant.The random forest classifier consistently achieves the highest performance with an accuracy exceeding 95%when using a neighborhood size of k=100,while recall,F-score,and Cohen's Kappa also demonstrate high success.SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP),an Explainable AI technique,has been used to evaluate feature importance and improve the explainability of black-box machine learning models in the context of rock discontinuity classification.The analysis reveals that features such as normal vectors,verticality,and Z-values have the greatest influence on identifying main discontinuity sets,while linearity,planarity,and eigenvalues contribute less,making the model more transparent and easier to understand.After classification,individual discontinuity sets were detected using a revised DBSCAN from the main discontinuity sets.Finally,the orientation parameters of the plane fitted to each discontinuity were derived from the plane parameters obtained using the Random Sample Consensus(RANSAC).Two real-world datasets(obtained from SfM and LiDAR)and one synthetic dataset were used to validate the proposed method,which successfully identified rock discontinuities and their orientation parameters(dip angle/direction).
文摘Point bars are well developed on the Yellow River delta, an~ which theShengli I point bar is the most typical. The point bar, being about 4 km in length and several tensto more than 100 meters in width, is located on the south side of the Shengli Bridge in KenliCounty, Dongying, Shandong. It is a typical fine-grained point bar with silt, which is predominant,some clay and minor plant debris and clay boulders. The Shengli I Point bar has complicated 3-Dstructures. Firstly, in a plane view, it comprises mainly eight sedimentary units, bar edge, baredge, bar platform, bar plain, bar channel, bar gully, bar pond and bar bay, developing side by sideand superimposed one by one m a complex way. Secondly, its vertical structures are very complex dueto the partial superimposition of the 8 sedimentary units. Besides hydatogenesis, very intensivewind erosion, eolian, ice and meltwater actions are also visible on the Shengli I point bar. Thecomplex form is made even more complicated because of the above co-actions.
