Self-developed non-contact static and dynamic deformation measurement technology of Sinorock

Self-developed technology
Deformation measurement is a necessary part of infrastructure projects, which can timely provide monitoring and early warning for the construction safety and operation safety of engineering projects. Photogrammetry has become a new research direction of engineering deformation measurement because of its advantages of non-contact, high precision, multi-point real-time, convenience and rapidity. The research on Photogrammetry Technology in foreign countries has been carried out early and has formed a commercial model. Due to late start and technical blockade, domestic research work in this direction is still in the stage of laboratory exploration and research, and there is less application research in the field of large-scale infrastructure engineering.
 

The 13th five-year plan for national scientific and technological innovation attaches great importance to the substitution of disruptive technologies for traditional industries, and proposes to build an independent and controllable technology system, promote the industry to move towards high-end development, and grasp the international competitiveness and initiative. In order to improve the independent innovation and R & D capability of key fields and major intelligent complete sets of equipment, the national key R & D plan "development of major scientific instruments and equipment" came into being.

In 2018, the project was officially launched. In view of the great significance of the project, high technical difficulty and tight scientific research cycle, Sinorock technology has established a scientific research team with rich R & D experience and combat effectiveness. The average age of the team is 35. It is such a young and energetic team that, faces the difficulties, takes the lead in the research of long-distance, large field of view and non-contact three-dimensional video deflectometer, and resolutely wins the battle of key core technologies.

After more than three years of research and development, the team has broken through the key technologies such as 3D image acquisition, high-resolution analysis of low-quality images, self calibration of large field of view cameras, fast image matching and 3D fast positioning algorithm, laser absolute ranging modulation signal frequency reduction and phase discrimination method, and achieved the overall technical goals of long-distance, large field of view and high-precision 3D deformation measurement of multi-point targets and safety evaluation and analysis. The first large field of view three-dimensional deflection non-contact measuring instrument in China has been developed, forming a series of large facility deflection non-contact measuring instruments with completely independent intellectual property rights, making China's large field of view three-dimensional deflection non-contact measuring high-end equipment fully autonomous and controllable. China's three-dimensional deformation non-contact measuring technology has reached the international advanced level, and promoted the leapfrog development of engineering testing technology.

A total of 27 team members won 189 achievements, including 23 intellectual property rights of the national major scientific instrument and equipment special  Non-contact Bridge Static and Dynamic Deflection Tester. Once the project achievements are promoted, they will quickly obtain government support, industry license, value recognition and form industrialization.
 
Assist the smart city, protect the project quality
The detection system realizes multi-point dynamic and static three-dimensional deflection real-time non-contact measurement and safety assessment analysis of large facilities, significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of structural safety assessment of existing or under construction large facilities, not only reduces the labor cost and intensity, but also provides more accurate measurement data, effectively improves the technical level of prevention and control of major structural safety accidents, and improves the level of public safety, Reduce economic losses and adverse social impacts, and have broad application prospects. At present, the project achievements have been successfully applied to major projects such as Wuhan Yangtze River tunnel, Nanjing Yangtze River tunnel, yingwuzhou Yangtze River Bridge, Qingchuan Bridge, Wuhan Second Yangtze River Bridge, yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge, hoisting machinery, power transmission towers, etc., ensuring the safe operation of the facilities. The application unit Wuhan Yangtze River Tunnel Co., Ltd. evaluated that "this achievement has provided suggestions for the construction impact and construction scheme of the proximity project; it has evaluated the safety of the tunnel civil structure, provided suggestions for improving the quality, efficiency and maintenance of the tunnel, and produced huge social benefits". The application unit China Railway Bridge Research Institute Co., Ltd. commented that "the application of this achievement in the fatigue damage detection and fatigue life prediction of the suspenders of Qingchuan Bridge has provided useful support for the decision-making of the bridge management and maintenance department, and achieved remarkable social benefits".
