[0035] It can be understood that the execution subject of the present application can be a paperboard warping classification and process control system at a corrugated paperboard outlet, and can also be a terminal or a server, and the specific execution subject is not limited herein. The server is taken as an example for description of the embodiment of the present application.

[0036] In the embodiment, in step S101, the vertical plane curve profile image of the production paperboard is collected using the line structured light sensor, and the paperboard type of the production paperboard is determined according to the vertical plane curve profile image, which includes: collecting the vertical plane reflection light image of the production paperboard multiple times using the line structured light sensor, and pre-processing the collected vertical plane reflection light image to obtain multiple pre-processed images; extracting and integrating the vertical plane curve profile image of the production paperboard from the multiple pre-processed images; performing data fitting according to the extracted vertical plane curve profile image to obtain a monomial cubic function of the curve profile horizontal pixel coordinate-curve profile vertical pixel coordinate; calculating the number of extreme points of the monomial cubic function, when the number of extreme points of the monomial cubic function is 0, determining that the production paperboard is a normal paperboard, when the number of extreme points of the monomial cubic function is 1, determining that the production paperboard is a non-S-type paperboard, when the number of extreme points of the monomial cubic function is 2, determining that the production paperboard is an S-type paperboard, and issuing an alarm; when the production paperboard is a non-S-type paperboard, calculating the difference of the derivatives on both sides of the production paperboard based on the monomial cubic function; when the difference exceeds a derivative preset range value, determining that the production paperboard is an L-type, and issuing an alarm, otherwise, determining that the production paperboard is a non-L-type.

[0037] In the embodiment, the vertical plane reflection light images of the production paperboard are collected multiple times, and the collected vertical plane reflection light images are preprocessed to obtain multiple preprocessed images, including: projecting structured light to the vertical plane of the production paperboard; collecting the vertical plane reflection light images of the production paperboard multiple times using a structured light sensor; and preprocessing the collected vertical plane reflection light images to obtain multiple preprocessed images.

[0038] Optionally, the structured light can be a light source emitted by a linear laser, and the structured light sensor can be a camera device.

[0039] It can be understood that when the vertical plane reflection light images of the production paperboard are collected, there can be regions without pixel points, and therefore, the camera device is used to collect the vertical plane reflection light images of the production paperboard multiple times, and the images collected multiple times are analyzed and processed.

[0040] In the embodiment, the vertical plane curve contour images of the production paperboard are extracted and integrated from the multiple preprocessed images, including: extracting the light stripes in the multiple preprocessed images to obtain multiple groups of light stripes; mapping the position of each group of light stripes to a spatial three-dimensional coordinate using camera calibration parameters; converting and aligning the spatial three-dimensional coordinates of the multiple groups of light stripes to obtain a vertical plane three-dimensional contour of the production paperboard; and processing the vertical plane three-dimensional contour of the production paperboard to obtain the vertical plane curve contour images of the production paperboard.

[0041] In the embodiment, an image processing algorithm (such as edge detection, threshold segmentation, etc.) is used to identify the light stripes in the images, a Canny edge detector or a Sobel operator is used to detect the edges in the images, and the light stripes are separated from the background by setting a suitable threshold.

[0042] In the embodiment, before the three-dimensional reconstruction is performed, the camera needs to be calibrated to obtain the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the camera. Then, the camera calibration parameters and the positions of the light stripes in the images are used to map the positions of the light stripes to the spatial three-dimensional coordinates through the principle of perspective projection.

[0043] In the embodiment, the vertical plane three-dimensional contour of the production paperboard is obtained by converting and aligning the spatial three-dimensional coordinates under different viewing angles. If overlapping regions are encountered, a point cloud fusion algorithm (such as an ICP algorithm) is used to optimize these overlapping regions to ensure the continuity and accuracy of the three-dimensional contour.

[0044] In this embodiment, a slice plane perpendicular to the plane of the paperboard is selected from the vertical face 3D profile of the produced paperboard, which should be located at the expected cross-section position of the paperboard. Then, on the slice plane, a curve profile of the paperboard is extracted using a profile extraction algorithm (such as Canny edge detection, Hough transform, etc.). This profile will reflect the shape and size of the paperboard at this position. Finally, a vertical face curve profile image is generated by smoothing the vertical face 3D profile of the produced paperboard through a filtering algorithm (such as Gaussian filtering, median filtering, etc.). Smoothing the curve-extracted profile through a filtering algorithm (such as Gaussian filtering, median filtering, etc.) can eliminate minor fluctuations caused by noise or measurement errors.

[0045] In this embodiment, the unary cubic function of the curve profile lateral pixel coordinate - curve profile longitudinal pixel coordinate is expressed as:

[0046] f1(x) = a1x 3 +b1x 2 +c1x+d

[0047] In the formula, x represents the curve profile lateral pixel coordinate, f1(x) represents the longitudinal pixel coordinate of the corresponding position of the vertical face curve profile, a1, b1, c1 and d represent the fitting constants.

[0048] The difference δ of the derivatives of the two sides of the produced paperboard is expressed as:

[0049]

[0050] In the formula, xi represents the lateral pixel coordinate of the vertical face curve profile, x1, x2, x3... x n ...x m are all pixel coordinates, m represents the number of all pixel coordinate points, f′1(x) represents the function value of the derivative function at the corresponding x i position, x n is the point that makes f′1(x) = 0.

[0051] It can be understood that by calculating the difference of the derivatives of the two sides of the corrugated paperboard and comparing the calculated difference with the preset range value of the derivative, it is determined whether the paperboard is an L-shaped paperboard or a non-L-shaped paperboard. The reason is that L-shaped paperboard will have a significant change in slope at the bending position (i.e., the corner of L), while non-L-shaped paperboard will not have such a feature.

[0052] The difference of the derivatives of the two sides of the corrugated paperboard is calculated, i.e., the derivative (slope) is calculated on both sides of the suspected L-shaped region (i.e., the region where the corner may exist) of the corrugated paperboard. Then, the difference of the derivatives on both sides is calculated. This difference reflects the degree of change in slope in this region.

[0053] In the embodiment, before formal production, the corrugated paper is trial-produced, after the trial production, the difference between the two sides of the non-L-shaped paperboard derivative during the trial production is taken as the maximum value of the derivative preset range value, and the difference between the two sides of the L-shaped paperboard derivative during the trial production is taken as the minimum value of the derivative preset range value.

[0054] In the embodiment, in step S102, when the type of the production paperboard is the non-L-shaped paperboard, the warping convexity of the production paperboard is calculated based on the vertical plane curve profile image, including:

[0055] When the type of the production paperboard is the non-L-shaped paperboard, data fitting is performed based on the vertical plane curve profile image to obtain a monomial quadratic function of the vertical plane curve profile transverse pixel coordinate-vertical plane curve profile longitudinal pixel coordinate, and the monomial quadratic function relationship is:

[0056] f(x)=ax 2 +bx+c

[0057] In the formula, x represents the transverse pixel coordinate of the vertical plane curve profile, f(x) represents the longitudinal pixel coordinate of the vertical plane curve profile corresponding to the x position, a, b, and c represent constants;

[0058]

[0059] In the formula, K(x) is the average value of the curvatures at the positions of the three quarter points, f'(x) represents the slope, f'(x) is the derivative of the vertical plane curve profile, f''(x) represents the rate of change of the curvature, f''(x) is the second derivative of the vertical plane curve profile, x a and x b respectively represent the pixel coordinates of the positions of the two end points of the transverse pixel coordinate of the monomial quadratic function, x1, x2, and x3 respectively represent the pixel coordinates of the positions of the three quarter points of the transverse pixel coordinate of the monomial quadratic function, and are respectively:

[0060]

[0061] In the embodiment, in step S103, the determination method of the warping convexity preset range value specifically includes: collecting cross-sectional images of non-L-shaped paperboards with different warping directions and warping degrees as samples; identifying the warping direction and the warping degree of the samples, and classifying the samples according to different warping types to obtain a classification result, establishing a sub-image library corresponding to different warping types and warping levels according to the classification result, calculating the warping convexity of each sample in each sub-image library one by one, and determining the warping convexity range value of the warping type and the warping level corresponding to each sub-image library according to the minimum value and the maximum value of the warping convexity of the samples in each sub-image library.

[0062] It can be understood that the calculation method of the warping convexity of each sample in each of the sub-image libraries can adopt the calculation method of the warping convexity θ as described above, which is not described herein.

[0063] Exemplarily, when the warping direction and the warping degree of the sample are identified and the sample is classified according to different warping types and warping levels to obtain a classification result, the classification result formed includes upwarp-type 1, upwarp-type 2, upwarp-type 3, downwarp-type 1, downwarp-type 2, and downwarp-type 3, and then six sub-image libraries are established according to the classification result, each of which corresponds to upwarp-type 1, upwarp-type 2, upwarp-type 3, downwarp-type 1, downwarp-type 2, and downwarp-type 3, and then the warping convexity of each sample in the six sub-image libraries is calculated one by one, and the warping convexity range values of upwarp-type 1, upwarp-type 2, upwarp-type 3, downwarp-type 1, downwarp-type 2, and downwarp-type 3 are determined, including: determining the warping convexity range value corresponding to upwarp-type 1 according to the minimum value and the maximum value of the warping convexity of the sample in the image library corresponding to upwarp-type 1 determining the warping convexity range value corresponding to upwarp-type 2 according to the minimum value and the maximum value of the warping convexity of the sample in the image library corresponding to upwarp-type 2 determining the warping convexity range value corresponding to upwarp-type 3 according to the minimum value and the maximum value of the warping convexity of the sample in the image library corresponding to upwarp-type 3 determining the warping convexity range value corresponding to downwarp-type 1 according to the minimum value and the maximum value of the warping convexity of the sample in the image library corresponding to downwarp-type 1 determining the warping convexity range value corresponding to downwarp-type 2 according to the minimum value and the maximum value of the warping convexity of the sample in the image library corresponding to downwarp-type 2 determining the warping convexity range value corresponding to downwarp-type 3 according to the minimum value and the maximum value of the warping convexity of the sample in the image library corresponding to downwarp-type 3

[0064] In the embodiment, the warping preset threshold is If the absolute value of the warping convexity is not greater than then it is determined that the production paperboard quality is qualified.

[0065] 9. In this embodiment, in step S104, the warping type of the produced paperboard is input into the pre-trained neural network model to obtain the production line control parameters output by the pre-trained neural network model, and the production line control parameters are output to the production line control center for adjustment to control the quality of the paperboard. Specifically, an input-output data set is established by using the recorded paperboard warping type or warping degree and production line quality control parameters on the corrugated paperboard production line, a neural network model is trained on the input-output data set to obtain a pre-trained neural network model, and the pre-trained neural network model establishes a corresponding relationship between the production line paperboard warping type and the production line control parameters; the warping type of the produced paperboard is input into the pre-trained neural network model to obtain the production line control parameters output by the pre-trained neural network model; and the production line control parameters are output to the production line control center for adjustment to control the quality of the paperboard.

[0066] In this embodiment, different warping types correspond to different production line control parameters, and the pre-trained neural network model learns the corresponding relationship between the warping type and the production line control parameters, and feeds back to the production line control center through prediction to control the product quality.

[0067] In this embodiment, the neural network model uses a convolutional neural network model, and the neural network model includes an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. The input layer receives the warping type of the paperboard as the input feature. The hidden layer contains multiple layers of neurons, which are used to extract useful information in the input feature and learn the complex relationship between the warping type and the production line control parameters. The output layer outputs the predicted production line control parameters.

[0068] Before training the neural network model, an input-output data set is established by using the recorded paperboard warping type or warping degree and production line quality control parameters (such as temperature, pressure, speed, etc.) on the corrugated paperboard production line. The collected data is preprocessed, such as cleaning and normalization, to ensure the quality and consistency of the data.

[0069] In this embodiment, the pre-trained neural network model is obtained by training the neural network model using the preprocessed paperboard production data. During the training process, the model learns the corresponding relationship between different warping types and production line control parameters, and adjusts its internal parameters (such as weights and biases) to minimize the prediction error.

[0070] Optionally, as the production process proceeds, new data can be continuously collected, and the neural network model can be continuously optimized and updated. Specifically, incremental learning, transfer learning, and other methods can be used to achieve this, in order to improve the prediction performance and adaptability of the model.

[0071] In this embodiment, the predicted production line control parameters are fed back to the production line control center in real time, and the production line control center adjusts the operation of the production line according to these parameters, such as adjusting the temperature, pressure, speed, etc., to realize accurate control of the paperboard quality.

[0072] The embodiment provides a corrugated paperboard warping classification and process control method, which realizes rapid and accurate evaluation of paperboard quality by accurately collecting vertical surface curve profile images of paperboard, intelligently judging paperboard types and calculating warping convexity, when warping problems are found, can automatically classify warping types, and output targeted production line control parameters according to a pre-trained neural network model, so as to timely adjust production, ensure stable paperboard quality, and improve overall production efficiency and intelligent management level.
