Abstract:A cloud edge collaborative visibility monitoring method is proposed to address the high cost of surface visibility monitoring in open-pit mines.Using the positioning information of the truck and the images obtained from the mobile onboard camera as raw data,the transmittance information of the images is calculated based on the dark channel prior theory,and the visibility information of the truck's location is then calculated and uploaded to the server.On this basis,assuming that the visibility changes on the surface of the open-pit mine follow the characteristics of a stationary stochastic process in space,the entire open-pit mine is estimated using kriging based on the visibility information calculated by all trucks,and the spatiotemporal distribution of the open-pit mine surface visibility is finally obtained.The experiment conducted in Xinjiang jiangna Open-pit Mine finds that in terms of accuracy,the average absolute error percentage of this method is 9.2%,indicating high precision;in terms of real-time performance,the monitoring results can dynamically track the actual changes in surface visibility of open-pit mines.The monitoring method has the ability to dynamically monitor the spatiotemporal visibility of open-pit mines.

[Journal Article]WANG Dan, MA Minghong, JIANG Xianglian et al.-Opencast Mining Technology2025, No.02

Abstract:Taking down-dip soft rock slope in north slope of Xianfeng Open-pit Mine as research object,based on strength reduction method and Mohr-Coulomb constitutive model,using CAD-Midas GTS NX modeling,this article systematically analyzes the characteristics of stress field and displacement field of the slope,and summarizes the mechanism of deformation instability and failure mode.The results show that the north slope exhibits remarkable shear slip characteristics under the influence of gravity stress and excavation unloading.The strata slip occurs in the middle and upper part of the rock mass,which compresses the foot of the slope and results in the shear failure of the penetrating structural plane.Slope deformation can be divided into three stages:the initial incubation stage is dominated by slow fracture development,the slip creep stage is marked by shear slip,and the shear instability stage is dominated by fracture penetration and rock mass failure.The development of weak layer,groundwater and weak sliding surface of downdip soft rock are the main factors of slope instability.
