Description
Summary:To address the limitations of traditional tunnel structural plane modeling—such as low automation, insufficient smoothness, and poor adaptability to real construction environments—this study proposes a novel three-dimensional (3D) modeling framework based on B-spline interpolation combined with deep learning. The method first employs YOLOv5 for rapid detection of structural regions and DeepLabV3+ for precise boundary segmentation, followed by skeleton extraction and coordinate transformation to obtain spatial structural traces. Finally, B-spline interpolation is applied across multiple tunnel sections to construct continuous 3D surfaces. In model training and testing, the segmentation network achieved an F1 score of 94.01%, and the final modeling accuracy demonstrated a mean relative error (MRE) below 2.5%, confirming the reliability of the geometric reconstruction. Additionally, the proposed method was applied to excavation face images from the Paiyashan Tunnel, where multiple structural surfaces were successfully reconstructed in 3D, validating the approach’s applicability and robustness in real geological conditions. Compared to traditional triangulated or linear surface methods, the proposed approach achieves higher smoothness, better geological continuity, and improved automation, making it suitable for real-world geotechnical applications.
