Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of dust control, in particular to a storage yard dust control system. Background Art

[0002] Dust is generated during raw material transportation, yard construction, material transfer, and production operations in industries such as steel, coking, thermal power, cement, casting, brick kilns, carbon, glass, ceramics, building materials, construction, and mining. The main hazards of dust are as follows: 1) harming human health; 2) causing dust explosions; 3) reducing visibility, and dust is an important component of haze; 4) dirtying buildings; 5) corroding metal facilities; 6) increasing wear and tear of machinery and equipment; 7) reducing product quality; 8) causing poor plant growth. In 2018, non-point source pollution control technology was included in the "2018 National Advanced Pollution Control Technology Catalog (Air Pollution Control Field)". In 2019, cities in the north began to implement deep emission reduction implementation plans for industries such as steel and coking, requiring steel, coking and other enterprises to fully complete accurate monitoring and control of dust emissions.

[0003] At present, some industries and enterprises are promoting the use of dust concentration monitors for dust monitoring. One is installed for every 10,000 square meters in storage yards, operations and other places. If it is less than 10,000 square meters, it will be calculated as 10,000 square meters. This monitoring method can only detect the total dust concentration, PM2.5, PM10, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind direction, and wind force at some local points where the dust concentration online monitor is installed. The detection accuracy of these local points is relatively high. However, it is only suitable for high-precision detection of dust at local points, and cannot achieve dust concentration detection at any location in the area. If you want to achieve grid-based precise monitoring of regional dust, you must densely arrange a large number of dust concentration monitors in the entire storage yard, operation and other places, which will have high investment costs, complex installation, and high maintenance costs. The installation bracket will seriously affect the movement of vehicles, personnel operations and other activities in storage yards, operations and other places. Summary of the invention

[0057] In this embodiment, the background extraction module is embedded with the ViBe algorithm to complete the background image extraction.

[0058] In this embodiment, the newly added dust positioning module includes a point cloud extraction submodule and a point cloud removal submodule, wherein the point cloud extraction submodule is communicated with the noise filtering module to extract contour point set graphics whose grayscale values ​​are greater than the second grayscale threshold in the grayscale image sequence to obtain a contour point set graphics set; the point cloud removal submodule is communicated with the contour recognition module and the point cloud extraction submodule to remove the contour point set graphics corresponding to the contour of the non-dust object from the contour point set graphics set. At this time, the remaining contour point set graphics in the contour point set graphics set correspond to the newly added dust in the yard, that is, the newly added dust positioning information at each sampling moment in the yard is obtained.

[0059] In this embodiment, the diffuse dust positioning module includes a second grid division submodule, a first grayscale gradient calculation module, a first diffuse dust judgment module, a second grayscale gradient calculation module and a second diffuse dust judgment module. Among them, the second grid division submodule is connected in communication with the noise filtering module to perform grid division on any real plane image i; the first grayscale gradient calculation module is connected in communication with the second grid division submodule to obtain the grayscale gradient of each grid area in the real plane image i; the first diffuse dust judgment module is connected in communication with the first grayscale gradient calculation module and the second grid division submodule to extract the grid area in the real plane image i whose grayscale gradient is less than the first grayscale gradient threshold, and determine that the local area in the yard corresponding to this part of the grid area has diffuse dust, that is, the number of grid areas in the yard at the sampling time i is obtained.

[0060] The working process of the above-mentioned yard dust control system is as follows:

[0061] Step 1: The camera module periodically captures the field of view image in the yard and sends it to the stitching module, thereby obtaining all the internal plane images of the yard within the sampling period as sampling plane images; and filtering all the sampling plane images through the noise filtering module to obtain a real plane image after filtering out the noise of the camera lens. Among them, the selection of the image sampling period depends on the speed of the video image processing hardware and software. The sampling period in this embodiment is 1 second to 5 minutes. During the sampling period, the field of view images taken by each camera at the same sampling time are stitched into a sampling plane image, and all the sampling plane images within the sampling period are combined into a sampling plane image sequence in the order of the sampling times.

[0062] During the shooting process of the camera device, dust or foreign matter on the lens may cause noise in the field of view image, which will cause noise errors in the subsequent image recognition process. Therefore, noise filtering is required to filter out the lens noise of the camera device. In this embodiment, the noise filtering process is specifically as follows:

[0063] Firstly, all sampled plane images within a certain time length are grid-divided by the first grid-dividing submodule;

[0064] Then the grayscale mean calculation module is used to calculate the true grayscale mean of each grid area in the sampling plane image. The calculation process is as follows:

[0065] Δg i,j =g i,j -g j0

[0066] In the formula, Δg i,j is the true grayscale mean of the jth grid region in the i-th sampling plane image, g i,j is the grayscale mean of the jth grid region in the i-th sampling plane image, g j0 is the lowest grayscale mean of the jth grid area in all plane images within a certain time period;

[0067] Finally, the grayscale mean replacement module is used to replace the sampled plane image i with Δg i,j Replace g i,j , that is, the true plane image of plane image i is obtained.

[0068] It should be noted that the "certain time" in the above noise filtering process can be either 1 sampling cycle or 10-1000 sampling cycles. Since the change of dust or foreign matter on the camera lens is a long process, the present embodiment preferably takes the time of 1000 sampling cycles as the above g. j0 The "certain length of time" in the acquisition process. For example, if the sampling period is 1 minute, then during the noise filtering process within 1000 minutes, gj0 are the same value.

[0069] Step 2: A background plane image of the storage yard is obtained based on the real plane image through the background extraction module, and the contour recognition module is used to recognize the contours of non-dust objects in the storage yard and the positioning information of non-dust objects based on the background plane image.

[0070] Among them, since the background extraction module is embedded with the ViBe algorithm, its background extraction process is:

[0071] For any sampling moment, all real plane images within n sampling periods before the sampling moment are obtained, and the ViBe algorithm is performed on all the acquired real plane images to obtain the background plane image at the sampling moment.

[0072] There are two main categories of non-dust objects in the stockpile. The first category is objects with regular geometric shapes, such as material shed structures, operating equipment, parked vehicles, and staff. This type of object can be directly distinguished based on the shape characteristics and iconic features of the object; the second category is objects with irregular geometric shapes, such as material piles and waste slag piles. This type of object cannot be directly distinguished based on the shape characteristics and iconic features of the object. However, these two types of objects have one thing in common, that is, the grayscale values ​​of their contours on the image are large. Based on this, this embodiment proposes a method for recognizing the contours of non-dust objects in the stockpile, that is, the process of the contour recognition module recognizing the contours of non-dust objects in the stockpile based on the background plane image is as follows:

[0073] First, extract the contour point set graphics whose grayscale values ​​are greater than the first grayscale threshold in the background plane image, so that the contour point set graphics only have the contours of the above two types of non-dust objects, and then identify each contour separately:

[0074] If the contour in the contour point set graph has a certain regular geometric shape, it can be determined that this type of contour corresponds to the contour of non-dust objects in the yard, including material shed structures, operating equipment, parked vehicles, and staff;

[0075] If the contour in the contour point set graph has an uncertain regular geometric shape, it can be determined that this type of contour corresponds to the contour of non-dust objects in the stockpile, including material piles and waste slag piles;

[0076] After identifying the contours of all non-dust objects, the positioning information of all non-dust objects in the real plane image can be obtained by combining the image features of non-dust objects such as color distribution, contour continuity, geometric association, pixel density, point cloud distribution, etc.

[0077] Step 3: The new dust positioning module is used to perform differential operations on the real plane images of all adjacent sampling moments to obtain a grayscale image sequence, and based on the grayscale image sequence and the contours of non-dust objects, the new dust positioning information at each sampling moment in the yard is obtained.

[0078] Since the positioning information can be directly obtained in the plane image, and the source of dust in the yard can only be the operating equipment, working vehicles, staff, material piles or waste slag piles, that is, the contours of non-dust objects in the above step 2, the dust can be associated with the contours of non-dust objects to facilitate the control of the subsequent spraying device. For example, if the dust in an area is caused by the staff, the dust in this area will not be sprayed, and will be sprayed after the staff leave. Based on this, this embodiment proposes a method for locating newly added dust, and the specific process is as follows:

[0079] First, the point cloud extraction submodule is used to extract the contour point set graphics whose grayscale value is greater than the second grayscale threshold in the grayscale image sequence, and obtain the contour point set graphics set, wherein the second grayscale threshold is less than the first grayscale threshold. The extraction of the contour point set graphics in this step is to filter out the background graphics in the yard;

[0080] Then, the contour point set graphics corresponding to the contours of non-dust objects are removed from the contour point set graphics set through the point cloud removal sub-module. At this time, the remaining contour point set graphics in the contour point set graphics set correspond to the newly added dust in the yard, that is, the positioning information of the newly added dust in the yard at each sampling moment in the real plane image can be obtained.

[0081] Step 4: The diffuse dust positioning module is used to obtain the diffuse dust positioning information at each sampling moment in the storage yard based on the grayscale gradient of each real plane image.

[0082] In this embodiment, the diffuse dust positioning information is divided into two categories. The first category is diffuse dust in the real image where there is no area where non-dust objects are located. The specific acquisition process of the first category of diffuse dust positioning information is as follows:

[0083] The second grid division submodule is used to grid any real plane image i, and the first grayscale gradient calculation module is used to obtain the grayscale gradient of each grid area in the real plane image i, specifically:

[0084] gg i,j =(Δg i,j -Δg i,j+1 ) / Distance

[0085] In the formula, Δg i,j , Δg i,j+1 is the real grayscale mean of the jth and j+1th grid regions in the i-th real plane image, gg i,jis the grayscale gradient value between the jth grid pattern domain and the j+1th grid pattern domain in the i-th real plane image, and Distance is the distance between the jth grid pattern domain and the j+1th grid pattern domain;

[0086] Taking the current grid (i, j) as the center point, calculate the grayscale gradient values ​​of all grids within the distance Distance, and take the statistical mean of all grayscale gradient values ​​as the grayscale gradient of grid area j;

[0087] Finally, the first diffuse dust judgment module is used to extract the grid area in the real plane image i whose grayscale gradient is less than the first grayscale gradient threshold, and it is determined that the local area in the yard corresponding to this part of the grid area has diffuse dust, that is, the first positioning information of the diffuse dust in the yard at the sampling time i is obtained.

[0088] The second category is diffuse dust in the real image where there are non-dust objects. Since this type of diffuse dust is located directly above the non-dust objects, and the grayscale value of the non-dust objects is larger, its grayscale value is greater than the grayscale value of the diffuse dust; therefore, the above-mentioned first-category regional gradient recognition method is not applicable to this type of diffuse dust. Therefore, for the positioning information of the second type of diffuse dust, this embodiment proposes a method based on contour gradient judgment, and its specific acquisition process is:

[0089] For the real plane image i, all the non-dust object contours in the real plane image i are extracted, and the grayscale gradient of the contour edge of each non-dust object is obtained by the second grayscale gradient calculation module. The calculation process of the grayscale gradient is the same as the calculation process of the first category. It only needs to discretize the contour and use a discrete point as a grid area.

[0090] The second diffuse dust judgment module extracts the contours of non-dust objects whose grayscale gradient is less than the second grayscale gradient threshold, and determines that the local area in the yard corresponding to the non-dust object contours has diffuse dust, thereby obtaining the second positioning information of the diffuse dust in the yard at sampling time i.

[0091] Step 5: The control module controls the spraying device to spray the area with new dust and diffuse dust according to the location information of the new dust and diffuse dust at each sampling moment in the yard. After the spraying is completed, it pauses for a certain period of time to wait for the fog and dust to settle, completes the dust control of the yard, and enters the next sampling cycle. That is, the two adjacent sampling cycles in this embodiment are not continuous in time, and there is a period of waiting for the fog and dust to settle between the two. Among them, the spraying device in this embodiment includes a grid-shaped layout of nozzles and their water and gas pipelines at the top of the yard, and the nozzles can move with multiple degrees of freedom. As for the specific implementation structures of the nozzles, water and gas channels, they are all conventional technical means, so they are not repeated in this embodiment.

[0092] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
