Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of combustion monitoring technology, and in particular to a combustion stability diagnosis method based on multi-source information fusion. Background Technology

[0002] Combustion is a crucial method of utilizing fossil fuels, and establishing and maintaining a stable combustion state is an important operational objective, beneficial for improving combustion efficiency and reducing pollutant emissions. However, influenced by factors such as fuel quality and combustion methods, the combustion state is difficult to maintain in the long term, posing a threat to the safe and environmentally friendly operation of the entire combustion system. Therefore, timely and accurate monitoring of combustion stability is essential for effectively preventing abnormal combustion states and avoiding safety accidents.

[0003] Based on the light and heat energy released during combustion, combustion diagnostic technologies such as thermocouples and flame fault detectors have been developed. However, these technologies have significant limitations in practical applications: (1) large errors and susceptibility to interference from the monitoring environment; (2) poor functionality, providing only local fire extinguishing signals; and (3) frequent maintenance and short equipment lifespan. In contrast, visual combustion diagnostic technologies are receiving increasing attention due to their advantages such as high sensitivity, anti-interference, and long lifespan. However, traditional visualization technologies such as flame television only provide simple monitoring functions, and the interpretation of image data relies heavily on the operator's subjective experience, lacking objective evaluation standards. Thanks to advancements in digital image processing technology, traditional monitoring functions have been expanded, enabling online analysis of flame images.

[0004] While flame images contain rich information about combustion status, accurate analysis of pixel information presents challenges. Looking at various data-driven methods, combustion stability diagnosis inevitably involves two key steps: feature extraction and feature analysis. Feature extraction aims to uncover the essential information of the image, eliminate non-critical repetitive content, and reduce image dimensionality. Every flame image possesses unique features that distinguish it from other images, such as hue and saturation. However, existing feature extraction methods are often limited by low computational efficiency, poor robustness, and weak generalization ability. Feature analysis, on the other hand, outputs deterministic diagnostic results through image feature analysis. The difficulty in interpreting flame image data, particularly the uninterpretability of its deep features, further complicates feature analysis. Furthermore, the numerous and difficult-to-characterize potential inducing factors of combustion instability make accurate diagnosis of combustion status extremely challenging.

[0005] In summary, feature extraction and feature analysis methods still require further improvement. To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention will develop a combustion stability diagnostic system integrating key technologies such as image acquisition, image feature extraction, and image feature analysis. This system will provide important theoretical basis and technical foundation for optimizing combustion system operation, thereby assisting in the safe and environmentally friendly operation of the entire combustion system. Furthermore, this application has significant research value for studying combustion mechanisms and exploring the dynamic changes in combustion. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a combustion stability diagnosis method based on multi-source information fusion, thereby solving the problems of poor interpretability of deep features in flame images and difficulty in quantifying combustion stability.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A combustion stability diagnostic method based on multi-source information fusion includes the following steps:

[0009] S1: Based on image acquisition equipment, capture flame images under different combustion conditions;

[0010] S2: Preprocessed flame image;

[0011] S3: Establish a feature extraction network, namely an adversarial denoising autoencoder, and train it using preprocessed flame images to improve the accuracy of the adversarial denoising autoencoder in recognizing deep features in flame images.

[0012] S4: For newly acquired flame images that need to be analyzed, after preprocessing, deep features of the flame image are extracted based on the trained adversarial noise reduction autoencoder; at the same time, data monitoring information in the furnace chamber is collected based on sensor equipment under the combustion conditions corresponding to the flame image.

[0013] Design a correlation coefficient to correct the time delay between deep features in flame images and data detected by sensor devices;

[0014] S5: The deep features of the flame image are fused with the sensor monitoring information to form image sensing features. Then, the structural similarity index is used to perform cluster analysis on the image sensing features to obtain two independent clusters.

[0015] S6: Calculate the information entropy of the two clusters respectively, and define the cluster with information entropy less than the set threshold as a stable cluster and the cluster with information entropy greater than the threshold as an unstable cluster;

[0016] S7: Calculate the centroids of the stable clusters and the unstable clusters respectively, and establish combustion stability evaluation index based on this;

[0017] S8: Analyze the image sensing features using combustion stability evaluation indicators to quantitatively estimate the combustion stability of a single flame image.

[0018] To optimize the above technical solution, the specific measures also include:

[0019] Furthermore,

[0020] In step S1, the image acquisition device includes an optical sight and a CCD camera;

[0021] In step S2, the preprocessing includes compressing and normalizing the flame image.

[0022] Furthermore, the specific content of step S3, which involves training using the preprocessed flame image to improve the accuracy of the adversarial denoising autoencoder in recognizing deep features in the flame image, is as follows:

[0023] S3.1: The input flame image x is processed by noise reduction encoding n to form a noisy image x. n Its data dimensions are O×P×3;

[0024] S3.2: Noisy image x n The features are sent to the convolutional encoder e1 for processing, which includes: first, feature extraction is performed by convolutional filters C1 with Q1 c×c windows and q strides; then, feature activation is performed by the ReLU activation function; finally, feature dimensionality reduction is performed by max pooling layer P1 with o×o windows and l strides, and the output feature vector h1 has dimensions a1×b1×c1.

[0025] S3.3: The feature vector h1 is processed sequentially by the convolutional encoders e2, e3, e4, and e5. The data processing process is similar to step S3.2, and the final output is a deep feature vector h5 with dimensions a5×b5×c5.

[0026] S3.4: The deep feature vector h5 is sent to the convolutional decoder d1 for processing, which includes: first, the feature dimension is increased by the upsampling layer U1 with a window size of g×g, and then it is processed by the convolutional filter C6 and the ReLU activation function to obtain the feature vector h6;

[0027] S3.5: The feature vector h6 is processed sequentially by convolutional decoders d2, d3, d4, and d5. The data processing procedure is similar to step S3.4, except that the activation function of convolutional decoder d5 is different; it uses the Sigmoid function. The final output is a reconstructed image x with dimensions O×P×3. rec ;

[0028] S3.6: Input flame image x is converted to grayscale After processing, a grayscale image x is formed. gIts data dimension is O×P×1;

[0029] S3.7: For grayscale image x g Analysis yielded nine static characteristics L: average gray level L1, flame brightness L2, effective area L3, non-uniformity L4, gray level variance L5, gray level standard deviation L6, flicker frequency L7, skewness L8, and kurtosis L9.

[0030] S3.8: The static features L and deep feature vector h5 of the flame image are sent to the discriminator, which is processed by the unfolding operation F, the fully connected operation f1, and the fully connected operation f2 in sequence. The discriminator determines whether the input data is a static feature or a deep feature. Then, based on the static feature as the standard, it guides the identified deep feature data to gradually tend towards the static feature. Through multiple training sessions with flame images, the adversarial denoising autoencoder can more accurately identify deep features in flame images.

[0031] Furthermore, in step S3, when training using the preprocessed flame image, a denoising coding technique is introduced to improve the robustness of feature extraction. The denoising coding process is represented as follows: In the formula Indicates the noise ratio. Let x be a random variable that follows a normal distribution. n "x" refers to the noise image, and "x" refers to the flame image.

[0032] Furthermore, the sensor devices mentioned in step S4 include a flame detector sensor, a thermocouple sensor, a pressure sensor, and a gas analysis sensor; the collected data information corresponds to flame detection intensity, furnace temperature, furnace pressure, NOx concentration, and CO2 concentration.

[0033] Furthermore, the specific details of the delay time between the deep features of the flame image and the data information detected by the sensor device, as described in step S4, are as follows:

[0034] Given any dataset {h(i),R(j)|i=1,2,…,m,j=1,2,…,n}, where h(i) represents the deep features of the i-th flame image, R(j) represents the monitoring information of the j-th sensor, m represents the number of flame images, and n represents the number of sensors, the correlation coefficient I(h(i),R(j)) is defined as:

[0035]

[0036] In the formula, p(h(i)) represents the probability density of h(i), p(R(j)) represents the probability density of R(j), and p(h(i),R(j)) represents the joint probability density of h(i) and R(j). When the correlation coefficient I(h(i),R(j)) is greater than 0.8, it indicates that h(i) and R(j) are highly correlated. By observing the correlation coefficient between h(i) and R(j), the time delay correction of these two variables can be achieved.

[0037] Furthermore, the clustering analysis of image sensing features using structural similarity indices described in step S5, resulting in two independent clusters, is detailed below:

[0038] The structural similarity index ψ(a,b) has a numerical range of [0,1], and is specifically defined as follows:

[0039]

[0040] In the formula, a and b represent any two image sensing feature vectors; μ a and μ b σ represents the average value of the corresponding image sensing feature vectors; a and σ b σ represents the variance of the corresponding image sensing feature vector; ab θ1 and θ2 represent the covariance of two corresponding image sensing feature vectors; both θ1 and θ2 are constants less than 1.

[0041] Cluster analysis of image sensing features using structural similarity indices yielded two independent clusters, including:

[0042] S5.1: Randomly select two image sensing features as the initial cluster centroids of the two clusters;

[0043] S5.2: Calculate the structural similarity index between all image sensing features and these two centroids, and divide all image sensing features into two clusters according to the size of the structural similarity index;

[0044] S5.3: Redetermine the centroids of the two clusters;

[0045] S5.4: Repeat steps S5.2 and S5.3 until the centroid no longer changes or the limit number of iterations is reached, thereby completing the clustering of image sensing features and obtaining two independent clusters.

[0046] Furthermore, the specific content of calculating the information entropy ψ(ξ) in step S6 is as follows:

[0047]

[0048] In the formula, ξ(t) represents the t-th image sensing feature; p(ξ(t)) represents the probability that other data in the cluster are the same as ξ(t); and T represents the total number of image sensing features.

[0049] Further, in step S7

[0050] The centroid refers to the average of all image sensing features in the same cluster across all dimensions.

[0051] The established combustion stability evaluation index δ(t) reflects the degree of combustion stability of each image sensing feature. The specific calculation process is as follows:

[0052]

[0053] In the formula, δ(t) represents the degree of combustion stability of the t-th image sensing feature; ξ κ (t) represents the numerical value of the image sensing feature κ at the location; This represents the numerical value of the stable cluster center κ. This represents the numerical value of the center κ of the unstable cluster.

[0054] Furthermore, in step S8, the specific content of analyzing the image sensing features using combustion stability evaluation indicators and quantitatively estimating the combustion stability of a single flame image is as follows:

[0055] The numerical range of δ(t) is 0 to 100%, where 0 represents complete stability, 100% represents extreme instability, and 50% is the boundary between stable and unstable states.

[0056] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0057] 1. Develop a coupling mechanism that can interpret static features and dimensionless deep features to effectively improve the training performance of feature extraction networks and improve the accuracy of deep feature recognition.

[0058] 2. To address the issue of asynchronous flame images and sensor monitoring information, a delay correction method based on correlation coefficients was developed. Simultaneously, a structural similarity index was designed for image sensing feature clustering, and information entropy was used to determine stable and unstable clusters. A combustion stability evaluation index was established to overcome the difficulty in quantifying combustion stability. Attached Figure Description

[0079] Step 3.1: After the input image x is processed by noise reduction encoding n, a noisy image x is formed. n Its data dimensions are O×P×3;

[0080] Step 3.2, Noisy image x n The data is sent to the convolutional encoder e1 for processing. First, features are extracted by convolutional filters C1 (Q1@c×c+q) with a window size of Q1 and a stride of q. Then, features are activated by the ReLU activation function [y(λ)=max(0,λ), where λ represents the input neuron]. Finally, feature dimensionality reduction is performed by a max pooling layer P1 (o×o+l) with a window size of o×o and a stride of l. The output feature vector h1 has a dimension of a1×b1×c1.

[0081] Step 3.3: The feature vector h1 is processed sequentially by convolutional encoders e2, e3, e4, and e5. The data processing process is similar to that in step 2.2, and the final output is a deep feature vector h5 with dimensions a5×b5×c5.

[0082] Step 3.4: The deep feature vector h5 is sent to the convolutional decoder d1 for processing. First, the feature is upsampled by the upsampling layer U1 (g×g) with a window size of g×g. Then, it is processed by the convolutional filter C6 (Q6@c×c+q) and the ReLU activation function to obtain the feature vector h6.

[0083] Step 3.5: The feature vector h6 is processed sequentially by convolutional decoders d2, d3, d4, and d5. The data processing procedure is similar to that in step 2.4, except that the activation function of convolutional decoder d5 is different, namely, the Sigmoid function [y(λ)=1 / 1+exp(-λ), where λ represents the input neuron] is used. The final output is a reconstructed image x with dimensions O×P×3. rec ;

[0084] Step 3.6: Input image x is converted to grayscale. After processing, a grayscale image x is formed. g Its data dimension is O×P×1;

[0086] Step 3.8: The static feature L and deep feature h of the flame image are sent to the discriminator, which is processed by the unfolding operation F, the fully connected operation f1 and the fully connected operation f2 in sequence to determine whether the input data is static feature L (true) or deep feature h (false).

[0089]

[0090] In the formula, p(h(i)) represents the probability density of h(i), p(R(j)) represents the probability density of R(j), and p(h(i),R(j)) represents the joint probability density of h(i) and R(j). When the correlation coefficient I(h(i),R(j)) is greater than 0.8, it indicates that h(i) and R(j) are highly correlated. By observing the correlation coefficient between h(i) and R(j), the time delay correction of these two variables is achieved.

[0091] Furthermore, the aforementioned structural similarity index can cluster image sensing features into two clusters in an unsupervised manner. The structural similarity index ψ(a,b) has a numerical range of [0,1], and is specifically defined as follows:

[0092]

[0093] In the formula, a and b represent any two image sensing feature vectors; μ a and μ b σ represents the average value of the eigenvectors. a and σ b σ represents the variance of the eigenvectors. ab θ1 and θ2 represent the covariance of the eigenvectors; θ1 and θ2 are constants less than 1.

[0094] Furthermore, the clustering analysis is implemented in the following steps: ① Randomly select two image sensing features as the initial cluster centroids; ② Calculate the structural similarity index between all image sensing features and these two centroids, and divide all image sensing features into two clusters according to the size of the structural similarity index; ③ Recalculate the centroids of the two clusters; ④ Repeat steps ② and ③ until the centroids no longer change or the limit number of iterations is reached.

[0095] Furthermore, the information entropy, which can quantify the complexity of data within a cluster, is specifically defined as:

[0096]

[0097] In the formula, ξ(t) represents the t-th image sensing feature, and p(ξ(t)) represents the probability that other data in the cluster are the same as ξ(t).

[0098] Furthermore, the centroid refers to the average of all image sensing features in the same cluster across all dimensions.

[0099] Furthermore, the aforementioned combustion stability evaluation index can quantitatively estimate combustion stability, and is specifically defined as follows:

[0100]

[0101] In the formula, δ(t) represents the degree of combustion stability of the t-th image sensing feature; ξ k (t) represents the numerical value of the image sensing feature κ at the location; This represents the numerical value of the stable cluster center κ. The value represents the position of the unstable cluster center κ. The value of δ(t) ranges from 0 to 100%, where 0 represents complete stability, 100% represents extreme instability, and 50% is the boundary between stable and unstable states.
