Abstract
As mining operations extend to greater depths, the risk of deformation in high-stress tunnels increases significantly, posing a substantial threat. This study introduces a novel framework known as “robust mobility deformation detection” (RM2D), designed for real-time tunnel deformation detection. RM2D employs mobile LiDAR scanner to capture real-time point cloud data within the tunnel. This data is then voxelized and analyzed using covariance matrices to create a voxel-based multi-distribution representation of the rugged tunnel surface. Leveraging this representation, we assess deformations and scrutinize results through machine learning models to swiftly pinpoint tunnel deformation locations. Extensive experimental validation confirms the framework’s capacity to successfully detect deformations, including floor heave, side rib spalling, and roof fall, with remarkable accuracy. For deformation levels at 0.15 m, RM2D was able to successfully detect deformations with an area greater than 2 m2. For deformation areas of (3 ± 0.5) m2, RM2D successfully detected deformations of levels at (0.05 ± 0.01) m, and its detection capability meets the standard criteria for mining tunnel deformation detection. When compared to two conventional methods, RM2D demonstrates its real-time deformation detection capability in complex environments and on rough surfaces with precision, all at speeds below 10 km/h. Furthermore, we evaluated the predictive performance using multiple evaluation metrics and provided insights into the decision mechanism of the machine learning employed in our research, thereby offering valuable information for practical engineering applications in tunnel deformation detection.
