由于甲烷安全风险、能见度差、高温、空间受限及带宽有限,地下长壁作业的实时空间监测极具挑战。现有基于摄像头的系统缺乏深度信息,而独立的地下激光雷达仅能实现单色或间歇性3D建图。本文设计并验证了一种集成激光雷达-摄像头的监测系统,采用经认证的防爆外壳,防止火焰传播。系统包含固态激光雷达、工业级RGB相机和嵌入式处理器,支持激光雷达-摄像头融合、低光图像增强和实时处理。实验室测试评估了防护聚碳酸酯罩对激光雷达与相机性能的影响,量化了光学与几何畸变。热测试表明,通过迭代布局、导热设计和被动散热,表面最高温度从106℃降至70℃,内部温度稳定在57℃。此外,构建了典型长壁模拟场景,在受控几何与低光条件下评估完整感知、融合与传输流程。最终配置中,超过97%的激光点云落在相机视场内,支持可靠彩色化;封装校准与修正保持几何精度,处理后的彩色点云以最高10Hz频率传输,持续带宽低于25Mb/s。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Real-time spatial monitoring in underground longwall operations is challenging due to methane-related safety risks, poor visibility, elevated thermal loads, spatial confinement, and bandwidth-limited communications. Currently available camera-based monitoring provides visual context but lacks direct depth information, while standalone underground LiDAR scanners are limited to monochromatic or periodic 3D mapping. This paper presents the design, integration, and experimental validation of a LiDAR-camera monitoring system built around a certified flameproof enclosure that prevents flame propagation into the surrounding atmosphere. The system combines a solid-state LiDAR, an industrial RGB camera, and an onboard processor within a compact hardware assembly, supporting LiDAR-camera fusion, low-light image enhancement, and real-time processing. Laboratory experiments evaluated LiDAR and camera performance through the protective polycarbonate dome and quantified optical and geometric distortions introduced by the enclosure. Thermal testing showed that iterative component placement, heat sinking, and passive conduction reduced peak surface temperature from 106 °C to 70 °C, with internal temperature stabilising at 57 °C. Furthermore, a representative longwall simulation was created to evaluate the complete sensing, fusion, and transmission workflow under controlled geometric and low-light conditions. In the final configuration, more than 97% of LiDAR points fell within the camera field of view, supporting reliable colourisation. Enclosure-aware calibration and correction maintained geometric accuracy, while processed colourised point clouds were transmitted at up to 10 Hz with sustained bandwidth below 25 Mb/s.
