[0048] Step 2: Perform image preprocessing on the images of each concrete aggregate sample obtained in step 1, wherein the image preprocessing includes converting the color image into a gray image, unifying the brightness, and selecting the grayscale distribution area to be analyzed.
[0049] Step 3: The grayscale distribution of the images of the three concrete aggregate samples is analyzed and processed respectively according to the following steps, as follows:
[0050] 3a. Count the number of pixels at each gray level of the sample image:
[0051] The grayscale level range S of the sample image is 1 to 255. The number of pixels corresponding to each grayscale level in the sample image is counted. The number of pixels with grayscale level 1 is recorded as C1, the number of pixels with grayscale level 2 is recorded as C2, and so on. The number of pixels with grayscale level 255 is recorded as C 255 ;
[0052] And thus obtain the C of No. 1 machine-made sand max The corresponding gray level is 107, C of No. 2 machine-made sand max The corresponding gray level is 95, the C of river sand max The corresponding gray level is 113; among them, C max is the maximum number of pixels in all gray levels of each sample image;
[0053] 3b. Set the grayscale standard interval and calculate the pixel ratio of each standard interval:
[0054] The grayscale range S (1 to 255) is divided into 10 standard intervals at intervals of 25, where the first standard interval is denoted as S1, the second standard interval is denoted as S2, and so on, and the tenth standard interval is denoted as S 10 , where S 10 The grayscale levels covered by the standard interval range from 226 to 250;

P1-P of No. 2 machine-made sand 1o They are 0, 0, 59022, 87163, 139086, 28628, 10124, 2141, 22, 0 respectively. The P1-P 10They are 0, 680, 36403, 104313, 112580, 38226, 18343, 4128, 1641, 126 respectively;
[0056] Calculate the ratio of the accumulated number of pixels of each gray level in each gray level standard interval in the sample image to the total number of pixels in the image, referred to as the pixel ratio, where the pixel ratio of the first standard interval S1 is R1 = P1 / (P1+P2+…+P 10 ), the pixel ratio of the second standard interval S2 is R2=P2 / (P1+P2+……+P 10 ), and so on, the 10th standard interval S 10 The pixel ratio is R 10 =P 10 / (P1+P2+…+P 10 ); After calculation, R1-R 10 They are 0%, 1.96%, 22.30%, 43.41%, 25.84%, 6.06%, 0.82%, 0.16%, 0.04%, 0.03% respectively. R1-R 10 They are 0%, 0%, 18.09%, 26.72%, 42.64%, 8.78%, 3.10%, 0.66%, 0.01%, and 0%, respectively. The R1-R 10 They are 0%, 0.21%, 11.50%, 32.96%, 35.58%, 12.08%, 5.80%, 1.30%, 0.52% and 0.04% respectively.
[0057] Step 4: Based on experience and combined with the C values of No. 1 machine-made sand, No. 2 machine-made sand, and river sand obtained in Step 3, max The corresponding grayscale levels (respectively 95, 113, and 107), the third standard interval S3 (grayscale level range 51 to 75) is selected as the specific standard interval, the pixel point ratio R3 of the third standard interval S3 of No. 1 machine-made sand, No. 2 machine-made sand, and river sand (respectively 22.30%, 18.09%, and 11.50%) is compared, and 22.30% is selected as the standard interval threshold M for identifying concrete aggregate and steel slag.
[0058] Step 5: Capture an image of the unknown aggregate sample, and repeat the operations of steps 1 to 3 to obtain the pixel ratio R3' of the third standard interval of the image of the unknown aggregate sample.
[0059] Step 6: Determine whether steel slag is mixed into the unknown aggregate sample based on the selected standard interval threshold, wherein if the pixel point ratio R3' of the unknown sample in the third standard interval is greater than the standard interval threshold M, it is determined that steel slag is mixed into the unknown aggregate sample; otherwise, it is determined that steel slag is not mixed into the unknown aggregate sample.
[0060] In order to determine the effectiveness of the grayscale standard interval threshold M setting of the present invention, verification is performed in the following ways:
[0061] 1) Select 5 steel slag samples from different steel mills, wherein No. 1 steel slag is taken from a steel mill in Dongli District, Tianjin, No. 2 steel slag is taken from a steel mill in Caofeidian District, Tangshan City, Hebei Province, No. 3 steel slag is taken from a steel mill in Tangshan City, Hebei Province, No. 4 steel slag is taken from a steel mill in Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, and No. 5 steel slag is taken from a steel mill in Chengde City, Hebei Province; repeat steps 1 to 3 of the above-mentioned detection method of the present invention to obtain the pixel point ratios of the third standard interval of the images of the steel slag samples from the 5 different steel mills, which are 30.1%, 55.44%, 28.13%, 45.25%, and 50.15%, respectively, which are all higher than the standard interval threshold M (22.30%), indicating that steel slag is mixed in the sample;
[0062] 2) According to weight percentage, 15% of the steel slag samples from the above five different steel mills were mixed with No. 2 machine-made sand to obtain five mixed samples, and then steps 1 to 3 of the above detection method of the present invention were repeated to obtain the pixel point ratios of the third standard interval of the images of the above five mixed samples, which were 28.52%, 28.05%, 25.12%, 24.14% and 28.25%, respectively, which were all higher than the standard interval threshold M (22.30%), indicating that steel slag was mixed in the samples.
[0063] Based on the above verification results, the present invention selects the maximum value of the pixel ratio in the third standard interval (grayscale level range 51 to 75) in the sample images of No. 1 machine-made sand, No. 2 machine-made sand, and river sand as the standard interval threshold M, which can effectively identify whether steel slag is mixed in the aggregate for concrete.
[0064] The method of the present invention is used to quickly detect unknown aggregate samples: 6 unknown aggregate samples are randomly selected, and steps 1 to 3 of the above-mentioned detection method of the present invention are repeated to obtain the pixel point ratios of the third standard interval of the images of the above-mentioned 6 unknown aggregate samples, which are 31.36%, 30.04%, 29.88%, 25.87%, 39.99% and 45.74%, respectively, which are all higher than the standard interval threshold M (22.30%), indicating that steel slag is mixed in the above-mentioned 6 unknown aggregate samples.
