[0071] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0072] The present invention provides a furnace mouth image recognition method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0073] S101, collecting furnace mouth images in real time.

[0074] S102, preprocessing the furnace mouth image to obtain a furnace mouth area of ​​the furnace mouth image.

[0075] It should be noted that due to the relatively harsh blowing environment, the collected furnace mouth images will be subject to more interference factors. In order to accurately obtain the furnace mouth area, some preprocessing of the image is required.

[0076] S103, obtaining the area and number of slag pieces in the furnace mouth area, and obtaining a pre-splashing identification result according to the area and number of slag pieces in a first set time period.

[0077] In practical applications, pre-splashing is actually a situation where slag flakes are thrown out of the furnace mouth during converter smelting. In order to more accurately extract the slag flakes thrown out of the furnace mouth, the present invention can perform comprehensive feature extraction and judgment on the processing results of the canny edge detection operator and Gaussian derivative matrix processing to identify the pre-splashing phenomenon. The first set time period here can be set to within the current 2 seconds.

[0078] S104, translate up and down along the height of the furnace mouth area to obtain two splash detection areas, perform threshold processing on the images of the two splash detection areas, obtain the corresponding areas and compare them with the corresponding set area thresholds respectively, and obtain the splash recognition result according to the comparison results within the second set time period. The second set time period here can be set to within the current 1 second.

[0079] In the above-mentioned furnace mouth image recognition method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the information and features contained in the furnace mouth image are extracted, analyzed and judged to obtain the status of pre-spattering and splashing. In this way, the pre-spattering and splashing recognition of the furnace mouth image can be well used to control the feeding method and oxygen gun adjustment method in the smelting process, replacing the operation performed by the operator through visual observation, thereby achieving the purpose of automated steelmaking. This method has the characteristics of accurate prediction and fast processing speed.

[0080] Furthermore, in the specific implementation, in the above-mentioned furnace mouth image recognition method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, if Figure 2 As shown, step S102 preprocesses the furnace mouth image to obtain the furnace mouth area of ​​the furnace mouth image, which may specifically include: first, using a median filter to remove noise from the furnace mouth image; then, scaling the furnace mouth image, and enhancing the brightness of the furnace mouth image by the scaling factor; then, segmenting the furnace mouth image by the OTSU automatic threshold algorithm and obtaining the segmentation threshold; finally, according to the mean of the segmented furnace mouth image, adjusting the segmentation threshold and binarizing the furnace mouth image to obtain the furnace mouth area of ​​the furnace mouth image. In order to achieve a better processing effect, after obtaining the furnace mouth area of ​​the furnace mouth image, the furnace mouth image may also be equalized according to the mean and variance of the furnace mouth area to accurately obtain basic features such as the width and height of the furnace mouth.

[0081] Specifically, Figures 3 to 6 For example, first Figure 3 The I_i image before transformation is shown by Get Figure 4 The transformed image I_o shown in the figure has the brightness enhanced by the scale factor num_scale. Then the OTSU automatic threshold algorithm is used to obtain Figure 5 The segmented image and segmentation threshold are shown according to Figure 5The segmentation threshold is adjusted by the mean value of the image and the furnace mouth is binarized to obtain Figure 6 The furnace mouth area of ​​the furnace mouth image is shown.

[0082] Furthermore, in the specific implementation, in the furnace mouth image recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, step S103 of acquiring the area and number of slag pieces in the furnace mouth area may specifically include the following steps:

[0083] Step 1: Use the Canny edge operator to perform edge detection on the furnace mouth area and obtain the slag area and number of edge detection results.

[0084] Specifically, the contour lines of the slag pieces in the furnace mouth area can be first extracted by the Canny edge operator; then the extracted contour lines can be screened for roundness; the screened contour lines can be converted into regions and filled; finally, the filled regions can be screened for area, and the regions with areas within a set interval can be selected, and the regions can be marked in the furnace mouth image to obtain the identified slag pieces, and the area and number of the slag pieces can be obtained.

[0085] Figure 7 An image of a furnace mouth containing actual slag pieces is shown. Figure 8 The figure shows the contour line of canny edge sub-pixel extraction obtained by setting the corresponding parameters. The roundness value of the extracted contour line can be [0.04559, 1], and the roundness num_r is obtained as follows: F is the area of ​​the contour, and m_dis is the pixel distance from the center of the area to each boundary. Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown in the figure, roundness screening can remove those non-arc edges in the contour line, and then perform closed contour screening on the remaining contour lines. The so-called closed contour is obtained by calculating the distance between the starting point and the end point of a contour line and filtering out the points whose distance is greater than the set distance threshold, thereby obtaining a relatively closed contour. The contour line is converted into an area and filled, and then area screening is performed to select the area within a certain threshold range, such as Fig.11 As shown, the area is marked in the image to obtain the identified slag pieces.

[0086] Step 2: The furnace mouth image is transformed by Gaussian derivative matrix to obtain the derivative graph of Hessian rule, and the features of the derivative graph are extracted and processed to obtain the area and number of slag pieces in the derivative graph.

[0087] Specifically, the furnace mouth area is firstly cut out from the furnace mouth image, and then Fig.12 As shown, the image is filtered by Gaussian with sigma = 2. By converting its image into a derivative image (i.e., Hessian matrix image), the area with obvious pixel transformation in the derivative image can be more clearly and intuitively displayed. Next, in the process of processing the derivative image, the background of the derivative image can be removed first; Fig.13 As shown, the background pixels of the matrix image are around 0. The more abrupt the place, the larger the pixel value. At this time, the area with a pixel value greater than the set pixel threshold is screened out, such as Fig.14 As shown, the protruding area in the image can be obtained by selecting a threshold value greater than 2; finally, the furnace mouth frame and area screening are performed on the screened area to obtain the identified slag pieces, and the area and number of the slag pieces are obtained.

[0088] Step 3: perform a union operation on the slag sheet area and number obtained from the edge detection result and the slag sheet area and number in the derived graph to obtain the slag sheet area and number in the furnace mouth area.

[0089] Specifically, the result of the canny edge operator processing is combined with the result of the Gaussian derivative matrix processing, and the regions obtained by the two methods are combined to obtain the following: Fig.15 The status and position of the pre-splash identification block shown in the furnace mouth image.

[0090] Further, in the specific implementation, in the furnace mouth image recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, during the execution of step S104, the furnace mouth area obtained by preprocessing is translated up and down to obtain the following Fig.16 The splash detection area 1 and splash detection area 2 shown in the figure are due to the existence of splash detection area 1 and splash detection area 2 in the furnace mouth blowing process. Fig.17 The flame spraying situation shown in the figure will seriously affect the judgment of the furnace mouth and the splashing. However, the biggest characteristic difference between flame spraying and splashing is that the flame has an upward trend. Therefore, the flame spraying can be filtered and screened by the splashing detection area 2 obtained by moving up. In addition, the flame shrinks very quickly, and the splashing liquid cools much more slowly. This point is also used to store the splashing images that meet the conditions in the array for comprehensive judgment, so as to achieve splashing recognition.

[0091] It should be noted that when there is a lot of slag accumulation at the furnace mouth, making the furnace mouth area very small and difficult to identify, the splashing in this case is Fig.18 As shown in FIG. 1 , the black elliptical area in the image is selected by screening the threshold and coordinate features (if there is no obvious furnace mouth and no black elliptical area, the lower 1 / 3 area in the image is taken as the splash detection area 3), and the uppermost row coordinate is used as the starting row coordinate as shown in FIG. Fig.19 The fixed splash detection area 3 with a height of 200 pixels is planned based on the white dot position in the fixed splash detection area 3, and the part with a pixel value greater than the threshold value 30 is obtained from the fixed splash detection area 3, and its area is calculated and stored. The comprehensive judgment can be

[0092]

[0093] Among them, Area1, Area2 and Area3 are the threshold areas that meet the conditions in splash detection area 1, splash detection area 2 and splash detection area 3 respectively, TH_area1, TH_area2 and TH_area3 are the first set area threshold corresponding to splash detection area 1, the second set area threshold corresponding to splash detection area 2 and the third area threshold corresponding to splash detection area 3 respectively, num is the number of images that meet the conditions of (Area1>TH_area1)&&(Area2<TH_area2) or (Area3>TH_area3)&&(Area2<TH_area2) in the current 1s, TH_num is the set number threshold, and TH_area_all is the total area of ​​the furnace mouth area. When one of the above three conditions is met, it is considered to be a splash phenomenon.

[0094] That is to say, step S104 obtains the splash recognition result according to the comparison result within the second set time period, which may specifically include: when the area Area1 of the splash detection area 1 obtained by moving down after threshold processing is greater than the first set area threshold TH_area1, and the area Area2 of the splash detection area 2 obtained by moving up after threshold processing is less than the second set area threshold TH_area2, and the number of furnace mouth images that meet this situation within the second set time period is greater than the set number threshold TH_num, then it is determined that the furnace mouth image contains splashing; or, when the area Area3 of the splash detection area 3 obtained after threshold processing is greater than the third set area threshold TH_area3, and when the area Area2 obtained by moving up after threshold processing of the splash detection area 2 is less than the second set area threshold TH_area2, and the number of furnace mouth images that meet this situation within the second set time period is greater than the set number threshold TH_num, then it is determined that the furnace mouth image contains splashing; or, when the area Area1 obtained by moving down after threshold processing of the splash detection area 1 is greater than half of the total area TH_area_all of the furnace mouth area, and the area Area2 obtained by moving up after threshold processing of the splash detection area 2 is less than the second set area threshold TH_area2, then it is determined that the furnace mouth image contains splashing.

[0095] After the test, no matter it is the pre-splashing under normal conditions, or the pre-splashing under the condition of a certain amount of slag accumulation at the furnace mouth, or the pre-splashing under the condition of large smoke interference, it can be accurately identified. The identification results are as follows: Fig. 20 , Fig.21 and Fig. 22Similarly, whether it is splashing in normal conditions, splashing under the interference of smoke, or splashing under the condition of slag accumulation at the furnace mouth, it can be accurately identified, and the identification results are as follows: Fig.23 , Fig.24 and Fig.25 Therefore, the furnace mouth image recognition method provided by the embodiment can accurately recognize the results of pre-splashing or splashing in various situations.

Since the principle of solving the problem by the device is similar to that of the aforementioned furnace mouth image recognition method, the implementation of the device can refer to the implementation of the furnace mouth image recognition method, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.
