[0065] Based on the weld initial position mark, the actual weld starting point is located by further identifying the current change difference and combining the gradual reduction trend of the magnetic permeability increment, marking the starting position and electromagnetic characteristic value, and generating the weld starting position signal;

[0066] Based on the signal output data of the induction sensor of the weld inspection trolley, the Fourier transform algorithm is used to continuously collect the current signal. Specifically, the collected current signal is transformed in the frequency domain and the main frequency component and amplitude change in the signal are extracted. The input data is the original induction signal sequence. The 512-point fast Fourier transform is used for frequency domain conversion, and the peak frequency and the corresponding time position are recorded. The fluctuation in the time domain signal is fitted and analyzed in combination with the signal reconstruction formula, and the peak and trough positions in the fluctuation are identified. A data table containing the time and amplitude characteristics of the current signal is generated, and a current characteristic signal point set is generated;

[0067] Based on the current characteristic signal point set, the wavelet transform algorithm is used to locate the weld area within the range of current fluctuation and magnetic permeability change. Specifically, the current signal and magnetic permeability parameters are continuously sampled and the wavelet coefficients are subjected to layered threshold processing. The number of decomposition layers is set to 5. The position where the wavelet coefficient change rate is higher than the threshold is located as the characteristic point interval. The magnetic permeability peak value and its change trend are calculated by arranging the characteristic points in time series. The magnetic permeability increment mutation interval is determined in combination with the current characteristic value at each time point. The corresponding weld characteristic point area range is marked to generate the weld initial position mark.

[0068] Based on the initial position mark of the weld, the differential signal analysis method is used to gradually identify the current change difference. By constructing a differential sequence and calculating the absolute value of the signal difference value of two consecutive time points, the threshold is set to three times the dynamic standard deviation, and the difference mutation point is marked as the current characteristic point. The actual weld starting point is located in combination with the gradual reduction trend of the magnetic permeability increment. By linearly fitting the incremental trend, the least squares method is used to calculate the fitting curve parameters to determine the inflection point position of the magnetic permeability curve. At the same time, the starting position and its corresponding electromagnetic characteristic value are recorded to generate the weld starting position signal.

[0069] The weld starting position signal includes the current intensity, magnetic permeability change value and initial position coordinates of the starting point.

[0070] The specific steps to generate the weld path positioning signal are:

[0072] Based on the incremental data of the weld path, the displacement curve of the current change in the path is calculated, the trend angle and offset value of each position in the curve are extracted, the main direction and turning point of the path are determined, and the weld path trend data is generated;

[0073] Based on the weld path direction data and combined with the continuous changes in the path shape, positioning correction is performed, the actual position and direction of the path are recorded, the final positioning information of the weld path is updated, and the weld path positioning signal is obtained;

[0074] Based on the weld starting position signal, the Kalman filter algorithm is used to collect the current signal change value at each position on the weld path in real time. Specifically, the current signal output by the sensor in real time is iteratively processed multiple times, the initial state estimation value and the covariance matrix are set, and the optimal estimation value of the current state is calculated using the prediction update formula. The prediction step includes calculating the current increment and direction offset of the current point on the path according to the state transfer equation. The update step adjusts the covariance according to the error between the sensor observation value and the prediction value and records the corrected measurement point data and position to generate weld path increment data.

[0075] Based on the incremental data of the weld path, a curve fitting algorithm is used to calculate the displacement curve of the current change in the path. Specifically, the fitting model is constructed by using the least squares method, the current change value and spatial coordinates of the path point sequence are set as input variables, and a quadratic curve fitting equation is established and the curve coefficient is calculated. The QR decomposition method is used to solve the linear equation group to reduce the numerical error, and the strike angle and offset value of each position in the fitting curve are extracted. The change rate of the strike angle is calculated by discrete difference and the turning points with a change rate higher than the threshold are marked to generate the weld path direction data.

[0076] Based on the weld path direction data, the iterative closest point algorithm is used in combination with the continuous change of the path morphology for positioning correction. Specifically, the actual position of the path is analyzed with the reference path, the initial pose estimation value is set, and the Euclidean distance between the current path point and the reference point is calculated. The minimum square error of the nearest point pair is used as the objective function to iteratively optimize the path alignment result, update the actual position and direction parameters of the path point, record the corrected point coordinates, update the path data structure, and obtain the weld path positioning signal.

[0077] The weld path positioning signal includes the displacement angle, path increment characteristics and strike angle of the path.

[0078] The specific steps to generate the weld boundary positioning signal are:

[0079] Based on the weld path positioning signal, the boundary position is detected by using the fluctuation of current intensity, the peak and valley values ​​of signal intensity are identified, the initial positions of the left and right boundaries of the weld are determined, and the initial signal of the weld boundary is generated;

[0081] Based on the left and right boundary data of the weld, the weld width is measured and the boundary width range is marked by comparing the current intensity and the magnetic permeability change to obtain the weld boundary positioning signal;

[0082] Based on the weld path positioning signal, the peak-valley detection algorithm is used to detect the boundary position of the current intensity fluctuation. Specifically, the input current signal data is analyzed by sliding window, the window size is set to 50 data points, and the peak and valley values ​​in the signal are identified by the local maximum and minimum search algorithm. The difference threshold of the current intensity change rate in each window is calculated as 10% of the signal amplitude, and the points where the change rate exceeds the threshold are marked as the initial positions of the left and right boundaries. The corresponding time and current value are recorded to generate the initial signal of the weld boundary.

[0083] Based on the initial signal of the weld boundary, the dynamic time warping algorithm is used to detect the permeability change within the interval. Specifically, the dynamic time distance between the permeability signal sequence and the template sequence is calculated, the step size is set to 1, the matching range is 3 time points, and the interval where the permeability difference exceeds the set threshold is determined as the permeability change area of ​​the left and right boundaries. The data points in the left and right boundary change interval are integrated and calculated, and the peak values ​​are extracted. The specific range of the left and right boundaries is marked to obtain the left and right boundary data of the weld.

[0084] Based on the left and right boundary data of the weld, the ratio analysis method is used to measure the weld width by comparing the current intensity and the magnetic permeability change. Specifically, the current intensity difference and the magnetic permeability change rate of the left and right boundary data points are calculated, and the ratio threshold is set to 1.2. The weld width is calculated according to the positions of the left and right boundary points and the corresponding interval range is recorded. In the comparative analysis, the data is normalized to the interval of 0 to 1 by standardization processing, and the width range data of the left and right boundaries are generated to obtain the weld boundary positioning signal.

[0085] The weld boundary positioning signal includes the left and right boundary coordinates of the weld, the weld width and the boundary electromagnetic characteristic value.

[0086] The process of judging the difference in magnetic permeability within the interval and determining the boundary range, collecting magnetic permeability data point by point, collecting magnetic permeability values ​​in segments within the left and right boundary areas of the weld, establishing a magnetic permeability distribution map within the boundary, and determining the magnetic permeability difference threshold to identify magnetic permeability mutations within the boundary area. By detecting the magnetic permeability difference between adjacent points, the area with significant magnetic permeability changes is screened out to determine the boundary range of the weld, compare the magnetic permeability difference between the sampling points, determine the position change of the left and right boundaries, and mark the specific range of the weld boundary at the point that meets the threshold.

[0087] The specific steps to generate the frequency domain signal of weld feature points are:

[0088] Based on the weld boundary positioning signal, extract the low-frequency signal data, filter and isolate the low-frequency components, determine the weld contour position and characteristics, and generate the weld contour signal;

[0089] Based on the weld contour signal, the parameters of the frequency band are screened, irrelevant fluctuations are identified to eliminate useful signals in the high-frequency band, and small deviations in the weld edge position are captured to obtain weld edge feature data;

[0090] Based on the weld edge feature data, each edge feature point is located according to the frequency response value, the surface deviation point of the weld is marked according to the value fluctuation, and the frequency domain signal of the weld feature point is generated;

[0091] Based on the weld boundary positioning signal, a bandpass filtering algorithm is used to extract low-frequency signal data. Specifically, by setting the passband range of the filter to 0 to 50 Hz, the input weld boundary signal is subjected to discrete Fourier transform to decompose the spectral components and shield the high-frequency and ultra-low-frequency parts. The filtered low-frequency signal is restored using inverse Fourier transform, and the low-frequency components are analyzed in time series to locate the signal energy center and mark the key points of the contour line. The time position and amplitude information of the contour line are recorded to generate the weld contour signal.

[0092] Based on the weld contour signal, the fast Fourier transform is used to screen the parameters of the frequency band. Specifically, the energy contribution value of each frequency component is sorted by calculating the spectral density function of the signal, and the frequency band with a contribution value lower than 10% is eliminated as irrelevant fluctuations. The signal with an energy contribution value exceeding the threshold in the high-frequency band is intercepted, and the captured high-frequency band data is subjected to segmented weighted calculation to extract the characteristic value of the weld edge signal, locate the small deviation point on the edge position, and record the spectral characteristics of the deviation to obtain the weld edge characteristic data;

[0093] Based on the weld edge feature data, the frequency response analysis method is used to locate each edge feature point according to the frequency response value. Specifically, by calculating the amplitude-frequency response and phase-frequency response curves of the edge signal, the point with a response value change rate higher than 20% is set as the weld edge feature point, and the weld surface deviation point is marked according to the response value fluctuation range. The spectrum data of the deviation point is segmented and normalized, and its frequency domain distribution characteristics are recorded. A feature point matrix containing frequency, amplitude and response coefficient is generated, and a frequency domain signal of the weld feature point is generated.

[0094] Among them, the frequency domain signal of the weld characteristic point includes characteristic frequency band, deviation amplitude and frequency response value.

Specifically, the frequency domain signal data of each characteristic point is subjected to time-frequency analysis, the heat diffusion time constant is set to 10ms, the temperature response of the signal is calculated by piecewise integration, and the temperature gradient is calculated and its corresponding relationship with the boundary position is recorded in combination with the boundary heat diffusion area range of the measurement point. The corresponding relationship data is stored in the key-value pair format to generate the heat diffusion boundary parameter set;

[0100] Based on the thermal diffusion boundary parameter set, a multidimensional space mapping algorithm is used to map the temperature data of the weld boundary points to the spatial coordinates. Specifically, a three-dimensional mapping function is constructed, and the temperature gradient value is used as the input variable of the mapping. Combined with the two-dimensional plane coordinates of the boundary points, the coordinate values ​​of each feature point in the multidimensional space are generated by the interpolation method. The multidimensional coordinates of all feature points are standardized, and the three decimal places of the coordinate value are retained to generate the multidimensional coordinate matrix of the feature points.

[0101] Based on the multi-dimensional coordinate matrix of feature points, the spatial distribution coordinates of each feature point are arranged by a matrix combination algorithm. Specifically, the thermal diffusion parameters and the spatial position data of the weld boundary points are extracted, and the two are combined into one according to the feature point sequence through a matrix merging function. The combined matrix is ​​normalized in rows and columns to avoid the influence of the difference in numerical ranges, and the final comprehensive distribution data is output in a matrix format to obtain the weld feature distribution matrix.

[0102] Among them, the weld feature distribution matrix includes heat diffusion values, boundary feature point locations and temperature gradient data.

[0103] Measure the temperature difference in the heat diffusion area of ​​the weld boundary. Through the real-time temperature data of the sensing sensor, measure the temperature gradient in the weld boundary area point by point. Within the weld boundary, select the heat diffusion area of ​​adjacent feature points, calculate the temperature increment between the feature points, perform difference analysis on the temperature values ​​of each pair of adjacent points, and determine the heat diffusion range and temperature difference trend of the weld boundary.

[0104] The specific steps to generate the weld recognition model are:

[0105] Based on the weld feature distribution matrix, the Gaussian mixture model is used to classify the value of each feature point, divide the groups according to the value difference between adjacent points, identify the hierarchical relationship of the feature points, and generate the feature point hierarchical group data;

[0106] Based on the hierarchical grouping data of feature points, the numerical characteristics of adjacent feature points are calculated, the points in the hierarchical group are normalized, the combined data is established, and the normalized feature combination is generated;

[0107] Based on the normalized feature combination, the values ​​and spatial coordinates of each normalized feature point are integrated to form an overall model of the weld boundary and feature points, and generate a weld recognition model;

[0108] Based on the weld feature distribution matrix, the Gaussian mixture model is used to classify the value of each feature point. Specifically, the probability density modeling of the feature distribution matrix data is performed, the initial number of components of the mixed distribution is set to 3, and the expectation maximization algorithm is used for parameter estimation. The initial mean and covariance matrix are calculated by the k-means clustering algorithm, and the convergence threshold is set to 10^-4. The numerical differences between adjacent points are divided into groups according to the Gaussian distribution probability, and the hierarchical relationship of the feature points is marked on the divided group data to generate feature point hierarchical group data;

[0109] Based on the hierarchical group data of feature points, the normalization method is used to calculate the numerical characteristics of adjacent feature points. Specifically, the minimum and maximum values ​​of the feature points in the hierarchical group are calculated, a linear normalization formula is constructed, and the normalization range is set to 0 to 1. The values ​​of the points in each group are processed according to the normalization formula to generate normalized point set data, and the weighted average method is used to combine the normalized point values ​​with the feature center data of the group, mark the combined feature points and store the results to generate a normalized feature combination;

[0110] Based on the normalized feature combination, the coordinate integration algorithm is used to integrate the values ​​and spatial coordinates of each normalized feature point. Specifically, the normalized feature points are traversed, and the spatial coordinate index of the point is matched with its value to construct a three-dimensional feature point model. The spatial coordinate value of each feature point and its normalized value are set to be arranged in sequence as a matrix unit. The generated matrix data is sparsely processed to improve the calculation efficiency, and the overall spatial representation of the boundary points and feature points is formed to generate a weld recognition model.

[0111] Among them, the weld recognition model includes feature point positions, normalized parameters and model combination relationships.

[0113]

[0114] Where: x is each feature point in the weld feature distribution matrix, λ is the model parameter set, π k is the weight of the kth Gaussian component, represents the kth improved Gaussian distribution, μ k and∑ k are the mean vector and covariance matrix of the kth distribution, δ is the feature point offset, α is the covariance scaling factor, and β is the matrix translation;

[0115] Execution process: First, each feature point value x in the weld feature distribution matrix is ​​initially processed, and the basic model of each group is initialized according to the overall model parameter set λ, including the group mean μ k , covariance matrix Σ k and weight coefficient π k , mean μ k Represents the average distribution position of feature points, covariance matrix Σ k It represents the correlation and distribution shape between the points in the group, and the weight coefficient π k represents the proportion of the group in the overall model, and then introduces an offset δ in the mean adjustment step to adjust the mean μ k Fine-tune to correct the position offset of feature points caused by external factors to ensure that the distribution is more consistent with the actual data, and then apply the scaling factor α to the covariance matrix Σ k Zoom in and out to control the concentration and dispersion of the group distribution, increase the adaptability of the model to different degrees of variation in the data set, introduce a translation β to correct the reference position of the covariance matrix, so that the distribution can better adapt to the asymmetric data form, and finally iteratively calculate the weight coefficient π k The value of is used to ensure that each group maintains a normalized distribution in the overall model. The whole process ultimately generates hierarchical group data of feature points to achieve accurate classification of feature points.
