Abstract

En 中文
Monitoring surface subsidence in mining areas is essential for geological disaster early warning and safe production. Existing geometric difference methods heavily rely on the local consistency of multi-temporal point clouds. When horizontal displacement and vertical subsidence are coupled, horizontal movements often cause local misalignments, leading to spatial deviations and discrete anomalies in vertical estimations. To address this issue, this paper proposes DL-C2C, a deep learning model for subsidence extraction from bi-temporal ground point clouds. Within a unified framework, the model introduces horizontal displacement as an auxiliary constraint into the vertical solving process, effectively improving the stability of vertical subsidence estimation through continuous cross-temporal alignment and correlation updating. For feature extraction, DL-C2C employs a PointConv multi-scale pyramid combined with a proposed scale-adaptive Transformer to enhance cross-scale information interaction under sparse and non-uniform sampling conditions. Furthermore, the network constructs dynamic local associations through iterative alignment within a recursive framework, and introduces diffusion-based residual correction at the fine-scale stage to compensate for detail errors at subsidence basin boundaries and in data-missing regions. Experiments on simulated and real-world datasets-covering aeolian sand and mountainous gully landforms-demonstrate that the method achieves mining 3D error (M3DE) of 0.16 cm and 0.22 cm in simulated scenarios. In real-world mining area validations, compared to existing methods, DL-C2C significantly reduces discrete anomalous points, yields an error distribution closer to zero, and exhibits superior performance in boundary transition continuity and non-subsidence area stability. In conclusion, this model provides reliable technical support for large-scale, high-precision intelligent monitoring of geological disasters in mining areas.
