Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of this specification relate to the field of iron and steel metallurgical automation and image processing, and in particular to a method, system and storage medium for intelligent identification and performance determination of equiaxed crystals in ingots. Background Art

[0002] Continuous casting is the main method of steel production in my country. The quality of continuous casting billets directly determines the quality of finished steel products to a large extent. The quality of continuous casting billets is closely related to their solidification structure, which is usually composed of three parts: fine equiaxed crystals on the surface, columnar crystals in the middle, and equiaxed crystals in the center. The solidification structure of continuous casting billets has a great influence on the processing performance and mechanical properties of steel. Except for some special steel types that require columnar crystal structure, most steel types hope to obtain billet structures with large equiaxed crystal areas, and at the same time hope that the equiaxed crystals are small and uniform. The greater the proportion of equiaxed crystals in the billet, the better the comprehensive mechanical properties of the steel. Therefore, the equiaxed crystal rate of the billet is a key factor in measuring the quality of the billet.

[0003] At present, most domestic steel plant technicians analyze the influence of different continuous casting process parameters on the equiaxed crystal rate at the center of the ingot by observing the macrostructure of the ingot, so as to optimize the continuous casting process parameters. Although the existing ingot equiaxed crystal rate detection method can quantitatively measure the ingot structure, the division, measurement and evaluation of the equiaxed crystal area mainly rely on manual work, and there are still the following problems:

[0004] 1. The columnar crystal area of ​​the ingot blends with the central equiaxed crystal area and the edge equiaxed crystal area, and their boundaries are not straight lines. When manually processed, straight lines are often used for division, which results in certain segmentation errors and affects the measurement results of the equiaxed crystal ratio.

[0005] 2. Based on the manual division of regions, the sizes of different grain regions are manually measured using a tape measure. This is limited by the skill level of different measurement personnel and has the disadvantages of low measurement accuracy, low measurement efficiency, and poor consistency of measurement and evaluation results.

[0006] 3. The microstructure and performance of the ingot are not only related to the equiaxed crystal ratio, but also closely related to the equiaxed crystal distribution. At present, the existing manual evaluation of the microstructure and performance of the ingot is mainly based on the equiaxed crystal ratio. There is no corresponding detection method for the equiaxed crystal distribution, and there is a lack of corresponding evaluation methods, which cannot meet the needs of comprehensive on-site evaluation of the microstructure and performance of the ingot.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] In order to better understand the above technical scheme, the technical scheme of the embodiments of this specification is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of this specification and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical scheme of the embodiments of this specification, rather than limitations on the technical scheme of this specification. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of this specification and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, it is a flow chart of a method for intelligent identification and performance determination of equiaxed crystals of a casting billet provided in an embodiment of this specification, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0058] S101: Acquire an equiaxed crystal sample image of an equiaxed crystal sample.

[0059] S102: Segmenting the equiaxed crystal sample image of the equiaxed crystal sample using a pre-trained semantic segmentation model to obtain an equiaxed crystal region.

[0060] S103: measuring the equiaxed crystal region to obtain the equiaxed crystal ratio and the equiaxed crystal ratio distribution.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present invention, the equiaxed crystal region may be measured using computer graphics measurement technology.

[0062] S104: Determine the equiaxed crystal performance of the equiaxed crystal sample based on the equiaxed crystal ratio and the equiaxed crystal ratio distribution.

[0063] Through image processing technology and semantic segmentation technology, intelligent and accurate automatic segmentation of the equiaxed crystal area in the equiaxed crystal sample is achieved. Combined with computer graphics measurement technology, automatic measurement of the equiaxed crystal area, automatic calculation of the equiaxed crystal ratio and evaluation of the equiaxed crystal ratio distribution are achieved. The equiaxed crystal performance of the equiaxed crystal sample is further determined based on the equiaxed crystal ratio and equiaxed crystal ratio distribution, thereby achieving intelligent judgment of the equiaxed crystal performance of the sample, and solving the problems of poor efficiency, low accuracy, poor identity and unscientificity in the existing manual measurement of equiaxed crystals.

[0064] As a further step, the training method of the semantic segmentation model is:

[0065] The collected equiaxed crystal sample image is preprocessed to obtain a preprocessed image.

[0066] An equiaxed crystal sample image training set is obtained, wherein the equiaxed crystal sample image training set includes a plurality of unlabeled preprocessed images and a plurality of labeled equiaxed crystal region preprocessed images.

[0067] The equiaxed crystal segmentation network model is trained based on the equiaxed crystal sample image training set.

[0068] When the loss function of the equiaxed crystal segmentation network model converges or the number of training times reaches a predetermined value, the training of the equiaxed crystal segmentation network model is terminated to obtain a trained equiaxed crystal segmentation network model.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present invention, the equiaxed crystal segmentation network model may be a semantic segmentation model, such as a fully convolutional neural network (FCN).

[0070] As a further step, the equiaxed crystal region is measured to obtain the equiaxed crystal ratio and equiaxed crystal ratio distribution, including:

[0071] The equiaxed crystal area of ​​the sample and the total area of ​​the sample are obtained; the equiaxed crystal area of ​​the sample is the area of ​​the equiaxed crystal area in the equiaxed crystal sample image, and the total area of ​​the sample is the area occupied by the sample ingot in the equiaxed crystal sample image.

[0072] Based on the equiaxed crystal region area and the total sample area, the equiaxed crystal ratio is obtained.

[0073] Among them, equiaxed crystal ratio = equiaxed crystal area / total sample area.

[0074] The equiaxed crystal ratio distribution was obtained based on the equiaxed crystal ratio of the ingot sample along the width direction of the ingot.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present invention, while segmenting the equiaxed crystal sample image of the equiaxed crystal sample using a pre-trained semantic segmentation model, the coordinate information of the equiaxed crystal region contour is extracted.

[0076] Specifically, the equiaxed crystal ratio distribution is obtained based on the equiaxed crystal ratio of the ingot sample along the width direction of the ingot:

[0077] The horizontal axis area x∈[x1,x2], the values ​​of x1 and x2 can be arbitrary numbers, and can also be limited to real numbers, x1 is less than or equal to x2, the area of ​​the equiaxed crystal region is s1, and the equiaxed crystal rate of this region is s1 / ((x2-x1)*h), where h is the thickness of the sample. The distribution is discrete along the width of the sample. For example, the equiaxed crystal rate of the interval is calculated every 5cm on the horizontal axis, and the width direction is divided into several 5cm areas. After calculating the corresponding equiaxed crystal rate, all discrete points and the corresponding equiaxed crystal rate are fitted, and the distribution of the equiaxed crystal rate along the width of the sample can be obtained.

[0078] As a further step, the equiaxed crystal sample image is preprocessed to obtain a preprocessed image, including:

[0079] The equiaxed crystal sample image is subjected to grayscale transformation, tilt correction, image denoising and image scaling to obtain a preprocessed image.

[0080] As a further step, the equiaxed crystal performance of the equiaxed crystal sample is determined based on the equiaxed crystal rate and the equiaxed crystal rate distribution, which can be: if the equiaxed crystal rate is greater than the first set value, the grade of the ingot sample is determined to be a superior product. If the equiaxed crystal rate is greater than the second set value and less than the first set value, the grade of the ingot sample is determined to be a medium product. If the equiaxed crystal rate is less than the second set value, the grade of the ingot sample is determined to be a second-rate product. The value of the second set value is smaller than the first set value, and the value of the second set value can be 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, and the value of the first set value can be 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9.

[0081] Optionally, the equiaxed crystal performance of the equiaxed crystal sample is determined based on the equiaxed crystal rate and the equiaxed crystal rate distribution. Alternatively, based on the equiaxed crystal detection data and the experience of on-site detection technicians, equiaxed crystal grading rules are formulated, and an equiaxed crystal grading model is established to intelligently determine the equiaxed crystal performance of the sample. The equiaxed crystal detection data includes equiaxed crystal rate, equiaxed crystal rate distribution, overall equiaxed crystal rate, equiaxed crystal distribution, maximum equiaxed crystal rate, minimum equiaxed crystal rate, secondary equiaxed crystal and other data.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present invention, the data involved in the above method will also be stored.
