The application discloses a
laser vision real-time
weld seam tracking method based on a lightweight target detection network, and the method comprises the following steps: before
welding, an industrial camera collects an initial
weld seam image and transmits the initial
weld seam image to an embedded industrial computer, pixel coordinate values of initial weld seam feature points are acquired, and a starting position of the weld seam is obtained; a lightweight target neural network is constructed; during
welding, the industrial camera continuously collects weld seam images and sends the weld seam images to the embedded industrial computer, pixel coordinate values of weld seam feature points in the weld seam images are extracted by using the lightweight target neural network; a
welding position to be reached by a
robot is obtained through the pixel coordinate values of the weld seam feature points; a difference between the welding position of the
robot and a current position of the
robot is calculated, and a deviation value is sent to a control cabinet, so that the welding gun of the robot is controlled to automatically track and move along the weld seam. The weld seam image is detected by using the lightweight target neural network, and the problem that the real-
time rate of the existing weld seam tracking method is not high on a resource-limited device is solved.
