Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of dermis grading, in particular to a dermis surface quality grading method and related equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of leather processing, the skin peeled off the slaughtered cattle and sheep is generally referred to as fur. Fur is prone to rot, so to prevent it from rotting, losing hair, and decaying pores and surface, it is generally pickled with salt, which is called salted wet skin. Salted wet skin can be stored for 3-5 months. Fur and salted wet skin are collectively referred to as rawhide. Rawhide is treated with lime, sulfide, chlorine powder, nitric acid, and chromium powder for oil removal, fat removal, hair removal, and chromium tanning, and will be blue and have moisture, so it is generally referred to as blue wet skin. It is a semi-finished product in the processing of cattle and sheep skin, but it has not been further processed such as drying, conditioning, and dyeing.

[0003] In the leather production and manufacturing process, blue wet skin is a semi-finished product of leather, and leather raw materials can be stored, transported, and traded for a long time after being made into blue wet skin. Because of the natural growth of the dermis and the damage caused by the processing process, the dermis must be graded according to the number and density of surface damage to determine which type of leather product the blue wet skin is suitable for processing, and different processing techniques are developed according to the final product form. Therefore, different grades determine what products the blue wet skin can make, and also determine the price of the products, so the detection and grading of blue wet skin is particularly important. Currently, the entire leather industry relies on manual detection and grading of blue wet skin, which is labor-intensive, low in efficiency, and unstable in grading results due to the subjectivity of manual work.

[0097] In a third aspect, the present application provides an electronic device, which comprises a processor, a memory and a bus, the memory stores machine readable instructions executable by the processor, when the electronic device is running, the processor and the memory communicate through the bus, and the machine readable instructions are executed by the processor to perform the steps of the dermal surface quality grading method as described above.

[0098] Fourthly, this application provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, performs the steps of the dermal surface quality grading method described above.

[0099] For example, taking wet blue sheepskin as an example, visual inspection technology (which is not limited to image processing technologies such as line scan cameras and area scan cameras) can be used to obtain... Figure 2 The image data shows the sheepskin outline with thick solid lines, defects with thin solid lines, and a dashed grid representing the main skin area divided using a simulated manual grading method. Figure 2 The main leather area shown is located vertically between the front and hind legs of the sheepskin, and the left and right sides are automatically generated using a computer algorithm based on the sheepskin's outline after being shrunk inwards. In actual production, sheepskins vary in shape and have different edge textures, so the main leather area must be adjusted accordingly. Figure 3 After obtaining the sheepskin outline P1, first perform an opening operation on P1 to remove the more protruding parts of P1 to obtain P2. Figure 4 (As shown); then perform a closing operation on P2 to fill in the concave part of P2 to obtain P3 (as shown); Figure 5 (As shown). Then in Figure 6 The bounding rectangle R1 of P3 is visible, with its center point C1. The height H and width W of R1 are obtained. The parameters are set as follows: the ratio of the main skin area width to the total width is Wp, and the ratio of the main skin area height to the total height is Hp. Then the main skin area width is Wz = W * Wp; the main skin area height is Hz = H * Hp. A rectangle Rz is generated through the center point C1, the main skin area width Wz, and the main skin area height Hz. Figure 7 (As shown). At this point, the rectangular main skin area Rz may be outside the sheepskin outline or may include the sheepskin trimming area. The eroded outline P4 is obtained by performing an erosion operation on the sheepskin outline. Figure 8 (Middle dashed outline), erosion value K. Find the intersection M of Rz and P4, i.e. Figure 9 The shaded area shown is the actual main skin area. In actual production, the size of the main skin area is modified by adjusting the values ​​of Wp, Hp, and K according to the actual requirements of the main skin area.

[0100] Because the area outside the main hide zone has a very low utilization rate during leather processing, and trimming is required before processing the hide, this grading method is only used within the main hide zone. Since sheepskin sizes range from 4 to 12 square feet, the number of dotted grid lines dividing the main hide zone also varies. Let α be the number of grid rows in the main hide zone, β be the number of grid columns, and θ be the sheepskin size in square feet. The following formula can be used to obtain:

[0101]

[0102] For example, the size of the grid of the sheepskin of 5.5 square feet is 4 rows and 4 columns; the size of the grid of the sheepskin of 7 square feet is 5 rows and 4 columns; the size of the grid of the sheepskin of 9 square feet is 6 rows and 5 columns.

[0103] In other application scenarios, such as the shoe uppers, luggage, cars, sofas and other industries involved in the wet blue of cowhide, the number of grids in the main skin area can define the values of a and b according to the size of the cutting piece of different products, and the case of sofa skin is more special. Since the cutting piece area used by the sofa skin is large and is a complete 80*80cm square, a=2 and b=2 can be set. In the above other scenarios, the length of the cutting piece is X and the width is Y. According to the following formula, the following formula can be obtained:

[0104]

[0105] As shown in Figure 2 If there is any defect in a grid, the defective degree of the grid is calculated as a1,

[0106]

[0107] If there is no defect in a grid, the defective degree of the grid is calculated as 0. The upper left, upper right, lower left and lower right corners are close to the leg area, so the four corners are less used in product manufacturing. Therefore, when the grid of the four corners has a defect, the defective degree of the grid is a2, When there is no defect, the defective degree is 0, which can exclude the influence of defects in unimportant areas on grading.

[0108] According to existing experience, the influence of different types of defects on grading is different. Deep learning is used to classify defects into serious defects and non-serious defects. Serious defects include open wounds, pinholes, burr holes, rotten surfaces and moss scars; non-serious defects include scratches and healed wounds. According to the grading requirements, the weight of serious defects is b1, and b1 can be assigned a value of 1-2 before the number, such as 1.2, 1.5, etc., according to the type of product in the later processing stage and customer requirements. The weight of non-serious defects is b2, and b2=1. In this way, the utilization rate L of each sheepskin can be obtained according to the number of grids occupied by serious defects c1, the number of grids occupied by non-serious defects c2, and the number of grids occupied by defects in the four corners c3,

[0109] L=(1-(b1*c1*a1+c2*a1+c3*a2))*100%

[0110] Generally, sheepskin blue wet skin is divided into A, B, C, D four grades, according to different skin can be given to each level of different threshold, for example, commonly used domestic skin A level of utilization is 85%-100%, B level of utilization is 70%-85%, C level of utilization is 45%-75%, D level of utilization is 0-45%. Thus according to the different L value computer can quickly and accurately divided into each level of skin. In actual production, often according to the different requirements of the final product to some special defects skin for downgrading processing. For example Figure 2 There are long long scratch, large area of open wound, etc. Therefore, some special rules can be added: 1, the number of broken surface injury more than X, the utilization rate is reduced w; 2, the area of broken surface injury is greater than Y, the grid weight factor is A; 3, the perimeter of broken surface injury is Z, the grid weight factor is B. A = 3, B = 2 can be set. The values of X, Y and Z can be set according to different product requirements.

[0111] The above detailed description of the embodiments of the present application, but the content is only the preferred embodiments of the present application, can not be considered for limiting the scope of the present application. Any equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present application, should still belong to the patent scope of the present application.
