Problems solved by technology

This method has a certain ability to identify mutation points, but it is not targeted at the edge of the molten pool. Therefore, it is difficult to screen the edge of the molten pool in a complex background
In addition, for materials such as aluminum alloy, the contrast between the molten pool image and the workpiece background is small, and the edge extraction method based on the high-frequency component of the image has a low success rate
[0008] In summary, the defects of the existing technology are: there is no effective means for contour extraction of welding pool images, mainly referring to static image contour extraction algorithms, or relying on manual experience for simplification or correction, and it is impossible to obtain the real contour of the molten pool during the actual welding process. As a result, the online quality control effect of the welding process is not ideal, and it is difficult to meet the needs of production applications

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for real-time extraction of weld pool image contours, which relates to the field of welding. A high-speed camera is used to obtain continuous molten pool images in the welding process, and the number of image frames participating in the calculation is determined according to the shooting frame frequency and the flow characteristics of the molten pool, and the calculation is continuous. The coefficient of variation of the gray value of each pixel in the image is used to obtain the coefficient of variation image, and the gray histogram is drawn after the low-pass filtering of the coefficient of variation image. The threshold value is used to binarize the variation coefficient image, and the difference method is used to extract the outline of the molten pool. The invention can assist the high-speed camera system to accurately obtain the outline of the molten pool, has high measurement accuracy and good stability, and can effectively overcome the influence of imaging system differences and shooting environments, especially for materials that have no significant color difference between the molten pool and the rear semi-solidified area. applicability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of welding, in particular to a method for real-time extraction of weld pool image contours. Background technique [0002] The molten pool is an important part of the welding process, and the characteristics of the molten pool play an important role in the formation of the weld and the inspection of the welding quality. Due to the large changes in the welding environment, the lack of stable lighting, and the interference of the complex reflection characteristics of the molten pool surface and the intense light intensity of the arc, it is difficult for traditional image segmentation algorithms to obtain stable and accurate molten pool segmentation results. [0003] The search found that the current representative achievements in this field include: [0004] The paper "A Method for Extracting Weld Pool Edge Using Mathematical Morphology and Active Contour Model" proposes a welding pool edge extraction method combining m...
