Problems solved by technology

However, most of the existing algorithms use traditional morphology to process weld images, and use single geometric feature recognition algorithms or statistical decision-making to identify welds.
When the weld image is blocked by strong arc light and spatter, the pixel-level processing method will fail

Abstract

The invention discloses an online measurement method for welding line characteristic point positions. The method comprises the following steps: a welding gun is positioned in an initial welding position; image information of welding line contours is initialized to obtain welding line initial positions; welding line images are acquired; welding line positions at present are predicted; the modelingof the welding line images in a time sequence direction is finished; characteristics of the welding line images are extracted; the tracking positioning of the welding line characteristics points is finally realized; and a motion trajectory of the welding gun is calculated. Meanwhile, the invention discloses a welding line trajectory automatic measurement system; and the system comprises an embedded development board, a laser visual sensor, a welding robot, a robot controller, mated welding equipment and a workpiece clamping worktable. The method can deal with the noise disturbance under non-structural welding environment, improves the robustness and the stability of a welding line tracking system, realizes automatic identification of welding line characteristic points, and greatly improvesthe automation degree and the production efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of automatic measurement of weld trajectory, in particular to an on-line measurement method of weld characteristic point positions combined with target detection and tracking algorithms and an automatic measurement system for weld trajectory. Background technique [0002] Welding plays a very important role in the manufacturing process. With the development of automation technology, welding robots have become the main welding automation equipment. Welding robots usually adopt the working mode of teaching and reproduction, that is, guide the robot through the user, and let the robot memorize the position, posture, motion parameters, etc. of each movement taught during the process, and then automatically generate a continuous execution of all operations. program of. After the teaching is completed, you only need to give the robot a start command, and the robot will repeat the expected welding work through the working ...
