Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of coal rock identification, and in particular to a method and system for identifying coal rock microscopic components based on channel-level image fusion. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Coal rock microscopic component identification is of great significance in the fields of coal mining, coalbed methane development, coal chemical industry, etc. It can determine the industrial use of coal, understand the coal-forming environment of coal, and guide the coal washing and processing process. In addition, microscopic component identification also helps the safety management of coal mines and prevents potential risks of spontaneous combustion or explosion in advance, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of coal resource development.

[0004] Traditional optical identification methods require researchers to use a microscope to identify the microscopic components of coal based on its transmittance, reflectivity, morphology, protrusions and other characteristics. Reflected light microscope analysis of coal slices is one of the most widely used methods for analyzing the microscopic components of coal rocks because it is applicable to a wide range of coal grades. In addition, the use of fluorescence microscopes to observe coal slices is particularly suitable for distinguishing the exinite and other components in lignite and low-rank coal. However, manual identification not only requires a solid foundation in coal petrology, but its results are also easily affected by the personal experience of the operator, which limits the widespread application of coal rock microscopic component identification in the field of modern coal chemical industry.

[0005] With the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, the analysis and identification of coal and rock microscopic components are also continuously improving and optimizing. In recent years, computer vision technology has become a hot research direction in this field. The application of image clustering methods and machine learning models has achieved certain results in improving the degree of recognition automation, but it also faces some challenges. To this end, researchers have further introduced deep learning methods such as image segmentation, which has significantly improved the accuracy and application prospects of coal and rock microscopic component identification.

[0006] Existing image segmentation technology can segment coal and rock microscopic images into multiple pixel blocks, each of which corresponds to a different microscopic component. Through this method, microscopic components such as vitrinite, inertinite, and exinite can be accurately identified, achieving high-precision identification. However, there is still a lack of standardized coal and rock microscopic image datasets, as well as deep learning models that can simultaneously process different types of microscopic images. In addition, the intelligent identification method for microscopic components of a wider range of coal grades also needs to be improved, especially in terms of accuracy and processing speed.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for identifying coal and rock microscopic components based on channel-level image fusion is provided, comprising:

[0036] Step 1: Obtain oil-immersion reflected light coal-rock microscopic images and fluorescent coal-rock microscopic images;

[0037] Step 2: define the target pixel, obtain the pixel blocks similar to the target pixel in the oil-immersed reflected light coal-rock microscopic image and the fluorescent coal-rock microscopic image, and perform weighted averaging on the similar pixel blocks by the non-local mean filtering method; then divide the oil-immersed reflected light coal-rock microscopic image and the fluorescent coal-rock microscopic image into multiple non-overlapping sub-regions, perform histogram equalization on each sub-region, and enhance the pixel contrast in the sub-region;

[0038] Step 3: All the sub-regions are spliced ​​and fused at the channel level to form an overall fused image;

[0039] Step 4: Input the fused image into the microscopic component recognition model based on the improved Mask-RCNN network. By introducing the feature pyramid and spatial attention mechanism in the backbone network, the image features are extracted and the ROI feature map is generated. The fully connected layer and mask branch are used to generate the ROI category and segmentation mask to achieve accurate segmentation of the microscopic image components.

[0040] As an embodiment, the specific implementation process of a method for identifying coal and rock microscopic components based on channel-level image fusion disclosed in the present invention is as follows:

[0041] Step 1: Obtain oil-immersed reflected light coal-rock microscopic images and fluorescent coal-rock microscopic images, and improve the preprocessing process of the oil-immersed reflected light coal-rock microscopic images and fluorescent coal-rock microscopic images. The pixel blocks in the image similar to the target pixel are weighted averaged by the non-local mean filtering method to remove noise, and the image is enhanced by contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization method.

[0042] Specifically, 1) the noise is removed by weighted averaging pixel blocks similar to the target pixel in the image using a non-local mean filtering method, including: defining the target pixel, obtaining pixel blocks similar to the target pixel in the oil-immersed reflected light coal-rock microscopic image and the fluorescent coal-rock microscopic image, as follows:

[0043] (1) For any pixel in a given image p , defines a block containing the pixel , the center of which is the target pixel p .

[0044] (2) Find the corresponding All blocks similar to , these blocks may be located at different positions in the image. The similarity between blocks is usually measured by the Euclidean distance, which is as follows:

[0045]

[0046] in, Representation Block The starting coordinates in the image, Representation Block The starting coordinates in the image; i Represents a pixel offset within the block, relative to the starting coordinates of the block (i.e. p or q ) and Represents blocks and The pixel value within Indicates the size of the block, that is, the number of pixels in the block.

[0047] (3) Calculate the target pixel p With each similar block The weight between ( p , q ), the calculation of the weight value depends on the distance between blocks:

[0048] =

[0049] in, h It is a parameter that controls the filtering strength. The larger the weight, the more similar the two blocks are.

[0050] (4) Finally, the target pixel p The denoising result is obtained by weighted averaging the central pixel values ​​of all similar blocks:

[0051]

[0052] Further, 2) the image is enhanced contrast processed by contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization method, including: dividing the oil-immersed reflected light coal rock microscopic image and the fluorescent coal rock microscopic image into multiple non-overlapping sub-regions, performing histogram equalization on each sub-region, dividing each image into non-overlapping sub-regions, performing histogram equalization on each sub-region separately, calculating its grayscale histogram, and calculating the cumulative distribution function based on the histogram, and setting a contrast limit parameter clip_limit, when the pixel frequency of a certain gray level exceeds the contrast limit parameter, it is truncated, and the excess frequency value is evenly distributed to other gray levels, and then the truncated total frequency T is evenly distributed to all gray levels. The details are as follows:

[0053] (1) The image is divided into non-overlapping sub-regions (such as 8×8 or smaller blocks), and histogram equalization is performed on each sub-region separately. The pixel contrast in each sub-region is locally enhanced.

[0054] (2) For each sub-region, calculate its grayscale histogram , and calculate the cumulative distribution function based on the histogram .

[0055] (3) To prevent excessive contrast enhancement, a contrast limit parameter clip_limit is set. When the limit is exceeded, it is truncated and the excess frequency values ​​are evenly distributed to other gray levels. This avoids the phenomenon of excessive contrast in some areas during the equalization process:

[0056]

[0057] Then, the total frequency will be truncated T Distribute evenly to all gray levels:

[0058]

[0059] in L is the total number of gray levels.

[0060] (4) For each sub-region, according to the adjusted cumulative distribution function For grayscale value mapping, the formula is similar to the standard histogram equalization:

[0061]

[0062] (5) In order to avoid boundary effects between sub-regions, bilinear interpolation is performed on the grayscale value of each pixel. This step ensures smooth transitions between different sub-regions of the image and eliminates possible boundary artifacts.

[0063] Furthermore, all the multiple sub-regions are spliced ​​and fused at the RGB channel level to form an overall fused image, and the image is manually cropped to remove the image portion containing minerals and scratches.

[0064] Specifically, using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to fuse different types of microscopic images (such as oil-immersion reflected light and fluorescence images) can effectively extract image edge, texture and other detail features, thereby processing coal and rock microscopic images with complex textures. The steps are as follows:

[0065] (1) Perform wavelet transform on the source image and decompose the image into low-frequency (smooth) and high-frequency (detail) sub-bands.

[0066]

[0067] in, represents the source image; LL Represents the low-frequency subband, that is, the smooth part of the image; LH Represents the horizontal high-frequency subband, that is, the detail information in the horizontal direction of the image; HL Represents the vertical high-frequency subband, that is, the detail information in the vertical direction of the image; HH Represents the diagonal high-frequency subband, that is, the detail information in the oblique direction (diagonal line) of the image.

[0068] (2) Each sub-band is fused, usually by weighted averaging the low-frequency components and selecting a large value for the high-frequency components.

[0069]

[0070] in, Represents the low-frequency component after fusion; and Respectively represent the wavelet low-frequency subband components of the two source images; and Represents the weight coefficient, which is used to control the proportion of the low-frequency components of the two images in the fusion result. .

[0071] For the high frequency part:

[0072]

[0073] in, represents the horizontal high-frequency component after fusion, and Respectively represent the two images in The absolute value of the horizontal high-frequency component of the position.

[0074] Similarly, for HL and HH The same is true.

[0075] (3) Perform inverse wavelet transform on the fused sub-bands to reconstruct the fused image.

[0076] .

[0077] in, Represents the fused image, which is obtained by combining the fused low-frequency and high-frequency components Perform inverse wavelet transform to obtain; represents the inverse discrete wavelet transform, which reassembles the fused low-frequency and high-frequency sub-bands back to the original image size to obtain the final fused image.

[0078] Step 2: Input the fused image into the microscopic component recognition model based on the improved Mask-RCNN network. By introducing the feature pyramid and spatial attention mechanism in the backbone network, the image features are extracted and the ROI feature map is generated. The fully connected layer and mask branch are used to generate the ROI category and segmentation mask to achieve accurate segmentation of the microscopic image components.

[0079] Specifically, the microscopic component recognition model adopts an improved Mask-RCNN algorithm, which is mainly composed of the following four parts: improved backbone network, region proposal network (RPN), ROI Align, and ROI segmentation and recognition module.

[0080] Furthermore, the improved backbone network consists of ResNet101 and Feature Pyramid Network (FPN). ResNet101 uses two residual network modules, Conv Block and Identity Block, to adjust the image dimension and network depth to extract image features and generate feature maps. FPN converts these feature layers into effective feature maps (such as , , , , ), complete the feature extraction.

[0081] In this improved backbone network, a spatial attention mechanism is introduced in the 2nd and 5th layers of the downsampling structure to control the complexity of the FPN structure and enhance its learning ability, thereby improving the accuracy of segmentation and recognition and reducing errors. The spatial attention mechanism converts the effective feature map ( H * W * C ) as input, and the spatial weight coefficients are generated through maximum pooling, average pooling, channel concatenation and convolution operations. Finally, these weight coefficients are multiplied by the input feature layer to obtain the enhanced feature map ( H * W *1).

[0082]

[0083]

[0084] in F Representation feature layer; represents average pooling; represents maximum pooling; Indicates the filter size; Indicates the size of the activation function; represents the attention parameter matrix.

[0085] Furthermore, the ROI region is obtained by sliding the RPN on the effective feature map. The RPN outputs the thin film component region by calculating the IOU value between the prior box and the real box. The RPN consists of a binary classification network and a regression network. The binary classification network is responsible for detecting whether the candidate region contains thin film components, while the regression network outputs the bounding boxes of these candidate regions. If the region detected by the binary classification network does not contain a component, the corresponding bounding box will be considered invalid.

[0086] In the ROI segmentation and identification module of microscopic image components, each ROI is first adjusted to the same size through ROI Align. Subsequently, the fully connected layer and mask branch are used to generate the ROI category and segmentation mask. The fully connected layer takes each adjusted ROI as input, identifies the component category of the microscopic image, and regresses and optimizes the bounding box of each component. The mask branch generates a pixel-level target mask for each ROI through a small fully connected network, thereby achieving accurate segmentation of microscopic image components.

[0087] The specific steps are as follows:

[0088] (1) The fused coal rock microscopic images under oil-immersion reflected light and fluorescence are sent to the microscopic component recognition module for feature extraction and generation of feature layers.

[0089] (2) FPN converts these feature layers into effective feature layers through downsampling, upsampling and maximum pooling operations to complete feature extraction.

[0090] (3) By introducing the spatial attention mechanism in the 2nd and 5th layers of the downsampling structure, the complexity of the FPN structure is controlled and its learning ability is enhanced, thereby obtaining an enhanced feature layer.

[0091] (4) Use RPN to slide on the effective feature layer to generate ROI.

[0092] (5) Use ROI Align to adjust each ROI to the same size.

[0093] (6) Use fully connected layers and mask branches to generate ROI category and pixel-level object masks to achieve accurate segmentation of microscopic image components.

[0094] Furthermore, the recognition results are automatically saved to the coal and rock microscopic image dataset, and data management, retrieval and export functions are provided to facilitate subsequent analysis and research;

[0095] It provides a user-friendly interface, displays recognition results and analysis data, and supports users' visual operation and analysis of images and data.

[0100] The microscopic component recognition module is used to stitch and fuse all the multiple sub-regions at the channel level to form an overall fused image; the fused image is input into the microscopic component recognition model based on the improved Mask-RCNN network, and the image features are extracted and the ROI feature map is generated by introducing the feature pyramid and spatial attention mechanism in the backbone network.
