Interpolação no espaço evolutivo : uma aplicação geotécnica em estações totais robóticas

Abstract

Stability analysis of geotechnical structures based on deformation monitoring has been commonly used to predict, prevent, and mitigate damages. One of the most used equipment for this task is the robotic total station (RTS), capable of continuously measuring all prisms positioned at a specific location. This continuous monitoring is responsible for generating a vast volume of data, which creates the need for different techniques for visualization and interpretation of the results. Additionally, equipment problems, or issues with its components, can compromise the quality of monitoring during those periods. As a result, there arose a need to interpolate the data in time and space. In this study, a spatial interpolation technique applied temporally to the data obtained from an RTS was developed. To visualize the results, a video containing heat maps with interpolated data at each time interval was created, facilitating the identification of anomalies.
