TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of tobacco detection, and particularly relates to a two-dimensional fluidized bed tobacco speed and concentration detection method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of cigarette production, the quality of tobacco determines the quality of cigarettes. The separation of stems and tobacco is an important processing technology in the processing of tobacco. Larger stem particles can cause the puncture of cigarette paper, resulting in quality defects of cigarette products. Therefore, it is necessary to separate stems and tobacco in the reprocessing of tobacco.

[0003] The commonly used method at present is to separate leaf tobacco and stems by using a fluidized bed. The separation of stems and tobacco by using a fluidized bed has the characteristics of high efficiency and convenience. However, in the fluidized state, the different fluidization speeds will have a certain influence on the separation effect of stems and tobacco. When the speed is low, the separation effect of stems and tobacco is poor. When the speed is high, the leaf tobacco collides in the fluidized bed, thereby causing crushing and affecting the quality of tobacco. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the application is to provide a two-dimensional fluidized bed tobacco speed and concentration detection method, which controls the fluidization speed of stem and tobacco separation by positioning and speed detection of tobacco, so that the tobacco entering the subsequent section has a lower stem content and less crushing, thereby ensuring the product quality.

[0011] S5, if the similarity matching value exceeds the threshold value, it is considered that the matching is successful, and the tobacco with the maximum matching value is selected as the same tobacco number in the previous frame.

[0012] S6, if the similarity matching value is less than the set threshold value, it is considered that the matching fails, and the tobacco is skipped, and the matching value of the number of other tobaccos in the frame image is calculated;

[0013] S7, the displacement speed between the two frames of tobacco is calculated, the speed momentum is updated and iterated, and the detection process of steps S3 to S7 is sequentially dynamically iterated until the last tobacco detection is completed;

[0014] S8, after the above detection process is finished, the position information of the tobacco under the same label is calculated, and the speed of the tobacco motion is calculated combined with the frame rate of the collection;

[0015] S9, then according to the tobacco number, the tobacco image corresponding to the tobacco number in the image is sliced to obtain a single tobacco image;

[0016] S10, the collection angle range is divided into several regions from the horizontal and vertical directions respectively, and the divided regions are marked as Qi respectively, wherein i is a natural number;

[0017] S11, the area of Qi is calculated and marked as Mi;

[0018] S12, the tobaccos in the divided regions are identified respectively, and the tobacco particle size is gradient classified, and the number of tobacco particles of each size in each gradient is counted and marked as nij, wherein i and j are natural numbers;

[0019] S13, taking the tobacco particles of a set size as a reference, a tobacco particle size correction coefficient is calculated ;

[0020] S14, the tobacco concentration ;

[0021] S15, then according to the region label, the number of tobacco particles in each region is counted to obtain the tobacco concentration distribution.

[0022] Further, in step S1, the fluidized bed device is used to adjust the fluidization speed, and the image data of the tobacco passing through the fluidized chamber is collected by the industrial CCD camera.

[0023] Further, in step S2, part of the tobacco image is labeled by using X-AnyLabeling-GPU labeling tool.

[0024] Further, in step S4, the Kalman filter is used to predict the position of the tobacco in the first frame image in the second frame.

[0025] Further, in step S4, the similarity matching formula is:

[0026] Wherein, Si-1 is the similarity matching value at i-1 moment, Ki is the control input at i moment, and Zi is the observation value at i moment.

[0027] Further, in step S8, the speed of the tobacco is calculated in combination with the frame rate of the CCD camera.

[0028] Further, the final calculated speed value and the tobacco concentration distribution value of the tobacco are also saved.

[0029] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0030] The tobacco concentration and speed detection method of the present application controls the fluidization speed of the tobacco stem separation by positioning and speed detection of the tobacco, so that the tobacco entering the subsequent section has a lower tobacco stem rate and less crushing, thereby ensuring product quality.
