Slope monitoring system for wall deformation analysis
The patent US12025707B2 describes a slope monitoring system designed to assess the deformation of walls or slopes from a virtual perspective. The system utilizes a slope monitoring device, such as a slope stability radar or lidar, to emit signals towards the monitored structure, gathering a point cloud of data that includes direction, range, and amplitude information from the reflected signals. The system's processing unit is responsible for acquiring data from multiple positions, transforming this data into a virtual point of view through either rigid or non-rigid registration, and segmenting the transformed data into voxel blocks. By comparing voxel range values over time, the system can effectively identify any movement or deformation in the monitored structure.
Additionally, the patent outlines various configurations and methods for data acquisition and transformation. It allows for the monitoring device to be mounted on a mobile platform and supports multiple translations and rotations between the first and second positions of data collection. The transformation process can be executed sequentially or concurrently, depending on the specific implementation. The patent also includes provisions for acquiring subsequent data and transforming it to maintain an updated virtual perspective. Overall, the system aims to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of slope monitoring, providing critical insights into structural stability.
