[0044] The inventors have found through research that the steel industry, as my country's basic raw material industry and an important pillar industry of the national economy, has long faced major common problems such as low resource utilization and heavy environmental load. The blast furnace is a key equipment for the steel manufacturing process, the core unit for the conversion of ferrous material flow, and the link with the highest energy consumption and production cost in the steel manufacturing process, accounting for about 60%-70% of the comprehensive energy consumption of steel and the total cost of steel manufacturing. In the blast furnace production process, the distribution of charge and gas flow in the furnace is the most active and critical control method, which determines the distribution of charge and gas flow in the furnace. Among them, the important reference basis for the blast furnace distribution operation is the situation in the blast furnace and the smelting state.

[0045] However, as a large-scale countercurrent reactor with high temperature, high pressure, strong dust and closed lightlessness, the internal environment of the blast furnace is constantly undergoing complex and violent physical and chemical reactions, which makes most detection devices in the industry unable to be effectively used for monitoring the internal furnace conditions of the blast furnace, and thus the blast furnace conditions generally rely on human observation and recording. However, due to the typical characteristics of the harshness and complexity of the internal environment of the blast furnace, as well as the inconsistent judgment standards of different people on the status of the blast furnace, the on-site operators often fail to monitor the blast furnace conditions in a timely and accurate manner, making it difficult to assist in achieving fixed-point and quantitative material distribution.

[0046] In order to solve the above problems, in an embodiment of the present application, an in-furnace image of a blast furnace to be predicted is obtained, and a dynamic boundary threshold corresponding to the in-furnace image is determined based on an image histogram of the in-furnace image; based on the dynamic boundary threshold, a flame area in the in-furnace image is determined; regional parameters of the flame area and image parameters of the in-furnace image are obtained; based on the regional parameters and the image parameters, a trained classification model is used to predict the blast furnace condition of the blast furnace to be predicted. The present application improves the prediction accuracy of the blast furnace condition by obtaining an in-furnace image, determining the flame area corresponding to the in-furnace image based on a dynamic boundary threshold, and then predicting the blast furnace condition through a classification model based on the regional parameters of the flame area and the image parameters of the in-furnace image.

[0047] The application content is further explained below through the description of embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0048] This embodiment provides a blast furnace condition prediction method based on the charge surface flame image. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0049] S10, obtaining an in-furnace image of a blast furnace to be predicted, and determining a dynamic boundary threshold corresponding to the in-furnace image based on an image histogram of the in-furnace image.

[0050] Specifically, an industrial high-temperature endoscope is provided on the blast furnace to be predicted, and the industrial high-temperature endoscope covers the material surface of the blast furnace to be predicted, so as to obtain the furnace image of the blast furnace to be predicted through the industrial high-temperature endoscope. Among them, the industrial high-temperature endoscope collects the furnace image once at a preset time interval through the endoscope hole of the blast furnace, and the furnace image can at least include the image area formed by the flame in the blast furnace to be predicted and the image area formed by the material surface. In addition, the preset time can be set according to the time requirement, which is used to control the acquisition frequency of the industrial high-temperature endoscope, so that the industrial high-temperature endoscope can obtain an image of the furnace at a preset time interval. For example, the preset time is 1 second, 0.5 seconds, etc.

[0051] The dynamic boundary threshold is used as a segmentation threshold for image segmentation, and the flame area in the furnace image can be determined based on the dynamic boundary threshold. The dynamic boundary threshold is determined based on the furnace image, and the furnace image taken by the industrial high-temperature endoscope at each shooting moment is different, so that the dynamic boundary threshold corresponding to each furnace image can be different, thereby improving the accuracy of the flame area subsequently determined based on the dynamic boundary threshold.

[0052] In an implementation of this embodiment, determining the dynamic boundary threshold corresponding to the image in the furnace based on the image histogram of the image in the furnace specifically includes:

[0053] Determining a plurality of initial thresholds corresponding to the image in the furnace based on an image histogram of the image in the furnace;

[0054] Performing Gaussian curve fitting on the image histogram based on the initial thresholds to obtain a histogram fitting curve;

[0055] Based on the histogram fitting curve, several segmentation thresholds corresponding to the furnace image are determined, and a dynamic boundary threshold is selected from the several segmentation thresholds.

[0056] Specifically, the image histogram is a histogram for reflecting the brightness distribution in the furnace image, and the number of pixels of each brightness value in the image is marked. It can be understood that the image histogram is a manifestation of the brightness distribution in the furnace image, and each reflects the number of pixels of each brightness value. For example, assuming that the brightness value of the furnace image is reflected by the grayscale value of the furnace image, the grayscale value of the furnace image ranges from 0 to 255, and 0-255 is divided into several sub-areas, and the difference between the upper limit value and the lower limit value of each sub-area is 15, and then the number of pixels of each sub-area is counted to obtain the image histogram corresponding to the furnace image.

[0057] After obtaining the image histogram, several initial thresholds can be obtained based on the image histogram, wherein the number of thresholds of the several initial thresholds corresponds to the number of regions of the image region to be divided in the furnace image. It can be understood that the image region to be divided can be obtained based on several initial thresholds, wherein the number of thresholds of the several initial thresholds is 1 less than the number of regions of the image region to be divided. In a specific implementation, the image in the furnace is obtained by photographing the inside of the blast furnace to be predicted, and the industrial high-temperature endoscope used to photograph the image in the furnace covers the material surface of the blast furnace to be predicted, so that the image in the furnace obtained includes the flame area, the material surface area and the furnace wall area, and the brightness of the flame area, the material surface area and the furnace wall area is different. Therefore, after determining the image histogram, some local extreme values ​​can be eliminated by smoothing with a small window, and then the local maximum and minimum values ​​of the image histogram that eliminates the local extreme values ​​are calculated, and finally the extreme values ​​whose distance is less than the constraint value are deleted, and the k extreme values ​​and their boundaries with the largest coverage area are screened out as the initial threshold, wherein the constraint value can be set according to actual needs.

[0058] In a typical implementation of this embodiment, the plurality of image regions include a flame region, a material surface region, and a furnace wall region, and the plurality of initial thresholds include a first initial threshold and a second initial threshold, wherein the first initial threshold is used to determine the furnace wall region, and the second initial threshold is used to determine the flame region. That is, when the image in the furnace is divided based on the first initial threshold, the furnace wall region and the first reference image region can be obtained, and when the image in the furnace is divided based on the second initial threshold, the flame region and the second reference region can be obtained. Then, when the image in the furnace is divided based on the first initial threshold and the second initial threshold, the image to be processed can be divided into the furnace wall region, the material surface region, and the flame region.

[0059] In one implementation of this embodiment, after obtaining several initial thresholds, the image histogram can be fitted with a Gaussian curve using an STA algorithm, a particle swarm algorithm, or a genetic algorithm to obtain a histogram fitting curve, and then the thresholds between different peaks are determined based on the fitted histogram fitting curve to obtain several segmentation thresholds.

[0060] In one implementation of the present embodiment, since the image inside the furnace includes the furnace wall area, the material surface area and the flame area, and the furnace wall area, the material surface area and the flame area have different brightness characteristics, after the furnace wall area, the material surface area and the flame area are determined based on the segmentation threshold, the furnace wall area, the material surface area and the flame area can be linearly stretched to different degrees respectively. While retaining the authenticity of the pixel texture of the furnace wall area, the material surface area and the flame area, the contrast and texture information of the image inside the furnace can also be enhanced, thereby improving the clarity of the image inside the furnace presented to the user and facilitating the user to identify the furnace wall area, the material surface area and the flame area.

[0061] Based on this, in one implementation of this embodiment, the blast furnace condition prediction method based on the material surface flame image also includes:

[0062] Dividing the furnace image into a plurality of image regions based on the plurality of segmentation thresholds;

[0063] Each image region is linearly stretched to enhance the image inside the furnace, and the enhanced image inside the furnace is presented.

[0064] Specifically, the several image areas include a flame area, a material surface area and a furnace wall area; the several segmentation thresholds include a dynamic boundary threshold for dividing the flame area and the material surface area and a reference boundary threshold for the user to divide the material surface area and the furnace wall area, wherein the degree of linear stretching corresponding to each image area is different.

[0065] S20. Determine a flame area in the furnace image based on the dynamic boundary threshold.

[0066] Specifically, the flame area is included in the in-furnace image and is an image area formed by the flame in the blast furnace to be predicted. When the flame area is determined based on the dynamic boundary threshold, a binary segmentation method can be used to segment the in-furnace image to divide the in-furnace image into a flame area and a background area, and the background area includes a material surface area and a furnace wall area.

[0067] S30, acquiring the regional parameters of the flame region and the image parameters of the image in the furnace.

[0068] Specifically, the region parameters at least include the region perimeter and region area of ​​the flame region, and the image parameters include image clarity and image change rate. The region perimeter can be determined based on the edge length of the flame region, that is, after the flame region is acquired, the flame edge of the flame region can be extracted, and then the edge length of the flame edge can be determined to obtain the region perimeter. In an implementation of this embodiment, the flame region can include connected regions, the region perimeter is the sum of the region perimeters of each connected region, and the region area is the sum of the region areas of each connected region.

[0069] In an implementation of this embodiment, the process of acquiring the image change rate is specifically as follows:

[0070] A preceding image of the in-furnace image is acquired, and an image change rate corresponding to the in-furnace image is determined based on the preceding image and the in-furnace image.

[0071] Specifically, the preceding image and the furnace image are taken by the same image acquisition device, for example, they are both acquired by an industrial high-temperature endoscope installed on the blast furnace to be predicted. The acquisition time of the preceding image is earlier than the acquisition time of the furnace image, and the preceding image and the furnace image are adjacent images. It can be understood that the furnace image is not the first image, and the preceding image is an image that is adjacent to the furnace image and is located before the furnace image in the acquisition order, that is, the preceding image is the furnace image at the previous acquisition moment of the furnace image.

[0072] S40: Based on the region parameters and the image parameters, predict the blast furnace condition of the blast furnace to be predicted by using a trained classification model.

[0073] Specifically, the classification model is a trained network model, the input items of the classification model are the region parameters and the image parameters, and the output items are the blast furnace conditions. That is to say, the blast furnace conditions of the blast furnace to be predicted can be predicted by the classification model, and the blast furnace conditions include normal conditions, suspended material conditions, inclined material conditions, or collapsed material conditions. Figure 3 As shown, the training process of the classification model can be specifically to obtain a training sample set, wherein each training sample in the training sample set includes regional parameters of the flame area, image clarity and image change rate, and then input the training sample into a preset classification model, predict the predicted blast furnace condition corresponding to the training sample through the preset classification model, and then train the preset classification model based on the predicted blast furnace condition and the actual blast furnace condition corresponding to the training sample to obtain a trained classification model. Among them, the prediction classification model can adopt classification algorithms such as decision tree, support vector machine, Bayes, etc.
