Subsurface Vision Probe Development

摘要9510301 Hryciw这项研究项目将设计和开发适用于岩土工程和地质环境现场勘察的用于现场表征的地下视觉探头(SVP)。这项研究将由密歇根大学和马里兰州哥伦比亚市霍根托格勒公司合作进行。最终目标是将SVP整合到圆锥贯入仪测试设备中。通过将高分辨率的ccd摄像机、镜头、照明和镜片系统与合成蓝宝石观察窗结合到透视仪外壳中，将对标准锥体进行改进。捕捉到的视频图像将允许使用图像处理技术对土壤进行分类。最终，利用可视化技术可以连续和实时地在现场确定土壤颗粒分布。***

ABSTRACT 9510301 Hryciw This research project will produce the design and prototype development of a Subsurface Vision Probe (SVP) for in situ characterization applicable for geotechnical and geo- environmental site investigations. The research will be conducted as a collaboration between the University of Michigan and Hogentogler & Co., Inc. of Columbia, MD. The ultimate objective is to incorporate the SVP into equipment used for cone penetrometer testing. A standard cone will be modified by combining a high-resolution CCD video camera, lens, lighting, and mirror system with synthetic sapphire viewing window into the penetrometer housing. The video images captured will allow the soil to be classified using image processing techniques. Ultimately, soil grain size distribution using visualization techniques could be determined in situ on a continuous and real-time basis. ***
