Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of airtightness detection, and in particular to an intelligent visual industrial component airtightness detection system. Background Art
[0002] The soap bubble method is a commonly used method for testing the air tightness of industrial components. It uses soapy water to form bubbles at the leak to determine whether there is a leak. When the industrial component being tested has poor airtightness, the internal gas will escape from the leak under pressure and come into contact with the soap solution applied to the outside to produce bubbles.
[0003] Traditional bubble recognition relies on manual visual skills, which can easily lead to missed detection or false detection. With the development of computer technology, machine vision provides a new technical idea for intelligent automatic detection of air tightness of industrial parts. Based on the traditional soap bubble method, machine vision is used to collect images to identify the bubbles at the leak point, thus realizing the air tightness detection of industrial parts. Compared with the existing artificial soap bubble method air tightness detection technology, intelligent visual detection is automatic and accurate.
[0004] However, the intelligent visual airtight detection system in the prior art does not have a cleaning and air-drying function. After the camera or camera captures the bubble image, a large amount of soapy water remains on the outside of the industrial parts and needs to be cleaned. The industrial parts need to be cleaned and wiped manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is also easy to contaminate the inside of the industrial parts during cleaning, which seriously affects the efficiency of airtight detection. Summary of the invention

[0038] The computer processes a large number of images acquired by the camera 9; first, according to the dynamic growth characteristics of the bubble at the leak point, the traditional three-frame difference method is used to extract the leak point bubble contour image; in view of the problem that the traditional three-frame difference method has incomplete bubble contour extraction during the experiment, edge detection is used to complete the missing leak point bubble contour, and then the background image extracted by the ViBe algorithm is differentially calculated to obtain a complete leak point bubble contour image. Finally, the leak point specimen is simulated to simulate leak points in various situations, and the effectiveness of the improved inter-frame difference algorithm proposed in this paper is verified by comparing it with the existing moving target detection algorithm.
[0039] Motion bubble detection is the key to determine whether the workpiece to be tested is leaking. In order to improve the efficiency of air tightness detection of gas industry parts, the traditional three-frame difference method has partial overlap and incomplete contours in the process of moving target detection. The improved three-frame difference method combining Kirsch edge detection and background difference is adopted. The algorithm firstly differs three consecutive frames of images to obtain the motion area, and then performs Kirsch edge detection on the current frame. The obtained motion area is logically "or" operated with the edge detection result to obtain the complete motion target, and the background frame difference method is used to segment the moving target and remove noise. Finally, the motion target detection performance of the algorithm is verified by actual bubble images.
[0040] The mechanical analysis of the leak point bubbles in the air is carried out to explain the phenomenon of bubble growth from a mechanical perspective, and the offset growth law of the leak point bubbles in actual scenes is summarized through a large number of experiments. Then, based on the circular feature of the bubble contour, the leak point bubble contour is identified by the circle detection algorithm to realize the positioning of the leak point area of the simulated specimen. In order to quickly and accurately locate the leak point area, considering the requirements of air tightness detection on the detection speed, the Hough circle detection frequently calculates the distance from the point on the circle contour to the center of the circle. The area range defined by the circle and the inscribed and circumscribed rectangles is used to judge the pixel points on the circle. If the pixel point is not within the area range, it can be directly screened out, thereby improving the detection speed of the algorithm. Secondly, considering that the least squares method has errors when fitting multiple targets, it is combined with the circular constraint CV algorithm. The bubble contours in the bubble image are detected one by one by iterating the constraint coefficients in the circular constraint CV algorithm, and the iterative removal method is used to eliminate the interference of the internal edge of the moving bubble, thereby improving the accuracy of the least squares method for circle fitting.
[0041] Aiming at the problem that the growth deviation of the bubble at the leakage point leads to the decrease of the positioning accuracy of the leakage point area, a large number of experiments are conducted to summarize the deviation law of the leakage point bubble, and an improved image search algorithm is proposed. Under the premise of ensuring the integrity of the moving bubble contour at the leakage point, the bubble image with the smallest deviation of the bubble center from the leakage point is found for processing, so as to improve the accuracy of the leakage point area positioning.
