  • Publication number: 20260237284
    Abstract: A method for monitoring stability of a high-steep slope in a high-altitude cold region is provided. The method includes the following steps: step 1, geological survey: investigating and analyzing a geological structure, soil and rock types, a rock property, topographic mapping, and a historical disaster record of a slope to be monitored; step 2, terrain measurement: monitoring an elevation, a gradient, an inclination angle, and a crack of the slope to be monitored; step 3, geological environment monitoring: monitoring a temperature, a humidity, a groundwater level, and a rainfall of the slope; step 4, remote sensing monitoring: using a remote sensing (RS) technology to obtain a remote sensing image of the slope and monitor displacement changes within the slope; and step 5, intelligent warning: setting a monitoring threshold based on slope stability, and issuing a warning when monitored data reaches the monitoring threshold.

  • Patent number: 12704612
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for triggering a sensor operation of a second sensor (e.g., a camera) based on a predicted time of alignment with a first sensor (e.g., a LiDAR), where operation of the second sensor is simulated to determine the predicted time of alignment. In this manner, the sensor data captured by the two sensors is ensured to be substantially synchronized with respect to the physical environment being sensed. This sensor data synchronization based on predicted alignment of the sensors solves the technical problem of lack of sensor coordination and sensor data synchronization that would otherwise result from the latency associated with communication between sensors and a centralized controller and/or between sensors themselves.
