Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of spectral reconstruction data processing, and more particularly to a method for processing radiation spectral reconstruction data of metal surfaces. Background Technology
[0002] In furnaces such as converters and AOD furnaces for refining molten metal, the temperature of the molten metal is continuously and accurately measured. Using this information as operational data is extremely useful for improving refining efficiency, quality, yield, and reducing resource consumption per unit. Continuously monitoring the molten metal temperature and controlling it as a temperature progression profile for each steel grade is crucial for effective refining.
[0003] Currently, many temperature measurement technologies in the industry are still limited to single-point or limited multi-point measurements. For example, while infrared thermal imagers can quickly obtain temperature distribution images of solid targets, traditional fiber optic spectrometers can only measure the spectrum of a limited number of points, either single-point or line-by-line, to retrieve the temperature. This is no longer sufficient to meet current practical needs. Furthermore, during the acquisition and processing of spectral data, baseline tilting and drift problems arise due to sample size, instrument background, and other related factors. Additionally, interference from molten metal can cause overlapping spectral lines. To address these issues, we propose a data processing method for reconstructing the radiation spectrum of metal surfaces. Summary of the Invention

Then, the spectral data is processed to reduce thermal noise and the spectral image of the molten metal is captured and captured for computer acquisition.
[0009] S2. Subsequently, the collected spectral data is preprocessed to improve measurement accuracy;
[0010] S3. Background correction is applied to the obtained spectral data, and spectral reconstruction is achieved by using the spectral raw image reconstruction method.

[0048] The derivative algorithm is followed by a multivariate scattering correction process, averaging the obtained spectra at each location. Then, a univariate linear regression operation is performed on the spectral data at each location and the average spectrum to obtain the regression coefficients and regression constants. Finally, the regression constants of each initial spectrum are subtracted and divided by their regression coefficients.
[0049] Furthermore, the method for reconstructing the spectral raw image in step S3 includes: extending the image gradient correlation parameters contained in the neighborhood sampling points to the unsampled points in the spectral image. Let the location of the unsampled spectral image point be b, and the corresponding sampling point in its neighborhood be a.

[0061] Geometric distance is selected as the weight for calculation.
[0062] In step S4, the energy radiated outward from the surface of the molten metal to be tested is captured as it passes through filters with different center wavelengths to form image signals. This yields radiation information at specific wavelengths, which is then transmitted to a computer for calibration and calculation to determine the temperature distribution of the molten metal surface. Simultaneously, a fiber optic spectrometer is used to directly measure the spectrum of the molten metal, and temperature inversion is performed to obtain actual temperature data, verifying the accuracy of the temperature field reconstruction method using the spectral camera. Specific implementation examples:
[0064] Four heights (61.20 mm, 47.34 mm, 38.51 mm, and 16.30 mm) were selected to correspond to temperature points for multiple comparative experiments on radiation temperature measurement under multispectral conditions. The highest flame center temperature was observed at a height of 38.51 mm. In terms of relative temperature measurement error, compared to the temperature measurement results obtained by the spectrometer inversion method, the overall error of the temperature measured by this method is less than 0.6%. This scheme utilizes spectral image reconstruction to perform spectral reconstruction and uses an integrated spectral camera temperature measurement model to achieve temperature inversion. Compared to various current temperature field reconstruction algorithms, the multispectral camera radiation temperature measurement method proposed in this scheme can achieve high stability while ensuring the accuracy of temperature inversion, and can also better reflect the actual temperature distribution.
