Subsurface Vision Probe Development

摘要 小行星9510301 该研究项目将设计和原型开发一个地下视觉探头（SVP），用于岩土工程和地质环境现场调查的现场表征。 这项研究将由密歇根大学和Hogentogler公司合作进行，Inc.来自马里兰州哥伦比亚市。 最终目标是将SVP整合到用于锥形流量计测试的设备中。 将通过将高分辨率CCD摄像机、透镜、照明和反射镜系统与合成蓝宝石观察窗结合到流量计外壳中来修改标准圆锥。 捕获的视频图像将允许使用图像处理技术对土壤进行分类。 最后，利用可视化技术可以在连续和实时的基础上原位确定土壤粒度分布。 ***

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. ***
