Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of building construction, and in particular to a steel structure hoisting device and method based on posture image recognition monitoring. Background Art

[0002] The steel structure of large buildings is divided into frame structure and large-span truss structure. The main components include steel columns, steel beams, and roof trusses. The span of large buildings is often more than 100 meters. After the overall lifting of the frame structure is completed, truss sliding construction is required.

[0003] The current hoisting and sliding construction mostly uses crawler hoists. Crawler hoists use chassis walking, and the boom swings and retracts independently. The boom does not have a separate power source, and obtains power from the main pump of the main engine through a hydraulic oil pipe. The chassis and boom drive can be linked or single-acting, and can be freely switched in different operating modes. During the construction process, the crawler hoist can be installed while walking, which is highly efficient. However, in the existing steel structure installation process, the driver of the hoisting equipment judges the status of the hoisting equipment based on experience. If there is a slight mistake, once the posture of the boom and hoisting equipment exceeds the reasonable range, safety accidents are likely to occur. In the face of the development of automation and intelligence of devices, designing a hoisting posture recognition and control device and method for large buildings can effectively increase the level of automation and intelligence of hoisting, the convenience of construction organization and management, and safety. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the problem that during the existing steel structure installation process, the driver judges the status of the lifting equipment based on experience, and the boom and the lifting equipment are prone to exceed the reasonable range and overturning accidents are prone to occur, the present invention provides a steel structure lifting equipment and method based on posture image recognition monitoring, so as to achieve real-time monitoring of the posture of the lifting equipment, so as to avoid the posture of the lifting equipment exceeding the reasonable range and not being discovered in time, causing collision and overturning problems.

[0007] Step 1.1, use three sets of cameras to monitor the hoisted chassis and boom to obtain real-time video;

[0008] Step 1.2, divide the real-time video into fixed frequencies;

[0009] Step 1.3, select 1 to 2 frames of clear boom and chassis images in each group of divided real-time videos and mark them.

[0010] Step 1.4, manually segment the postures of the boom and chassis in the marked image, and mark whether the postures are normal or not.

[0011] Step 2: Use the labeled dataset to train the video key frame separation model and output the key frames in the video.

[0013] Step 2.2, use the classification head to classify the key frames in the video;

[0014] Step 2.3, output the image classified as a key frame.

[0015] Step 3: Input the key frame image into the hoisting posture detection model. The hoisting segmentation module of the hoisting posture detection model performs instance segmentation on the boom and hoisting equipment, and outputs the regional segmentation results of the boom and hoisting equipment.

[0016] Step 3.1, use the backbone network 2ResNet50 to extract features from the key frame image;

[0017] Step 3.2: Use the graph reasoning attention module to locate the position of the boom and chassis;

[0018] Step 3.3, use the decoder to perform pixel-level segmentation on the detailed positions of the boom and chassis;

[0019] In step 3.4, the error generated by the segmentation is back-propagated to adjust the parameters of the graph inference attention and decoder.

[0020] Step 4: Use the camera internal parameters to dedistort the segmented area, input the dedistorted image into the hoisting posture detection module, and output the detection result.

[0021] Step 4.1, multiply the segmentation result with the original image to obtain an image containing the boom and chassis.

[0022] Step 4.2, combined with the camera's internal parameters, use the dedistortion algorithm to operate on the segmented image and output a normal viewing angle image.

[0023] Step 5: Compare the annotation results with the detection results and adjust the parameters of the lifting posture detection module.

[0024] Step 5.1, use the input backbone network 3ResNet50 to extract features from the dedistorted image;

[0025] Step 5.2, use the classification head to classify the normal posture of the image;

[0026] In step 5.3, the loss caused by misclassification is back-propagated to adjust the parameters of the classification head.

[0027] Step 6: The parameters of the lifting posture detection model are frozen immediately after training.

[0028] Step 6.1, after training on the manually annotated dataset, the parameters of the model are fixed;

[0029] Step 6.2, deploy the fixed parameters to the applied platform.

[0030] Step 7: After loading the model parameters, use the hoisting posture detection model to analyze the real-time video of the camera and repeat steps 2, 3, and 4.

[0061] Figure 1 1 is a system configuration diagram of the first preferred embodiment of the steel structure hoisting equipment based on posture image recognition monitoring provided by the present invention.

The hoisting posture detector is configured to be an image instance segmentation module, a dedistortion module, and a hoisting posture recognition module.

[0062] Compared with the prior art, the steel structure hoisting equipment based on posture image recognition monitoring provided by the present invention comprises a chassis and a boom; the camera of the image acquisition unit is configured to acquire real-time video of the chassis posture and real-time video of the boom posture; the image processing unit comprises a key frame identifier, a memory and a hoisting posture detector, the key frame identifier is configured to be a backbone network ResNet50 for selecting key frames of the video acquired by the image acquisition unit, the memory is configured to store key frame images of the chassis posture and key frame images of the boom posture, the hoisting posture detector is configured to receive images in the memory, separate the boom and the chassis using a hoisting segmentation module, and after de-distortion, the backbone network ResNet50 of the hoisting posture detection module determines whether the chassis and the boom are beyond the set range; the alarm unit is configured to send an alarm signal when the chassis posture or the boom posture is beyond the set range. The posture of the hoisting equipment can be monitored to avoid the problem of overturning caused by the posture of the hoisting equipment exceeding the reasonable range, thereby improving the level of hoisting construction and safety.

[0063] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the image acquisition unit. Figure 2As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the camera includes a first camera 11 located at the top of the boom, a second camera 12 located at the middle and outer side of the boom, and a third camera 13 arranged on the chassis.

Preferably, the camera can be a video camera, a visual detector, or an ultrasonic detector.

[0064] Figure 3 1 is a system configuration diagram of a second preferred embodiment of a steel structure hoisting device based on posture image recognition monitoring provided by the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the image processing unit 2 also includes a key frame identifier, a memory and a lifting posture detector, the key frame identifier is set to a neural network model ResNet38 for selecting key frames of the video acquired by the image acquisition unit, the memory is set to store the key frame image of the chassis posture and the key frame image of the boom posture, the lifting posture detector is set to receive the image in the memory, use the lifting segmentation module GRBN to separate the boom and the chassis, and after de-distortion, the lifting posture detection module VGG determines whether the chassis and the boom are beyond the set range. In this embodiment, the image processor 23 performs instance segmentation and de-distortion on the real-time image of the chassis posture and the real-time image of the boom posture, so that the information of the chassis posture and the boom posture can be obtained more accurately, and the invalid information in the image recognition can be eliminated, and the amount of calculation in the image recognition process can be reduced, thereby reducing the amount of calculation of the image processing unit, improving the processing speed, and being able to more quickly discover the problem that the chassis posture and the boom posture are beyond the set range, more timely avoid the occurrence of the overturning problem, and improve the safety of the equipment operation.

[0065] like Figure 3As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the steel structure hoisting equipment based on posture image recognition monitoring also includes a posture control unit 4, which is connected to the output end of the image processing unit 2. The posture control unit 4 is used to control the chassis posture and the boom posture. The chassis posture control includes the chassis position control, and the boom posture control includes the boom rotation angle control and the height lifting control. In this embodiment, the equipment is connected to the posture control unit 4 by the image processing unit 2, and whether the chassis posture and the boom posture exceed the set range is obtained in time. When the chassis posture and the boom posture exceed the set range, the posture control unit 4 is used to adjust the chassis posture and the boom posture to within the set range in time, so as to actively avoid the occurrence of overturning problems, without the need for driver operation, so that the operation level and safety of the equipment are effectively improved. In the specific implementation, the posture control unit is an automated control device such as a computer or PLC controller or an industrial computer. The posture control unit and the control subject that restores the abnormal posture of the boom or chassis after the alarm device sounds should have sufficient plans for various situations of abnormal boom or chassis status. When the boom posture is abnormal, the extension of the boom should be stopped immediately, the movement of the hoisted object should be stopped, and the normal direction of the boom posture should be adjusted until the alarm stops.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown above Figure 3 The key frame identifier 21 is the backbone network 1 ResNet50, which inputs the video frame and outputs a clear picture of the boom and chassis. The lifting posture detector 23 is composed of the backbone network 2 ResNet50, the graph reasoning attention module, the dedistortion, and the backbone network 3 ResNet50. Among them, the number of video frames is determined by the frequency of the camera, and the key frames only need to be extracted according to the frequency during the operation of the boom and chassis, and one image is extracted from each video as a key frame. The key frame is input into the backbone network 2 of the lifting detector, and then the features extracted by the backbone network are passed to the graph reasoning attention module to locate the position contour of the boom and chassis, output the segmentation results of the boom and chassis, and obtain the posture of the boom and chassis under the standard perspective through the dedistortion algorithm. This image is input into the backbone network 3 for feature sorting and analysis, and the output is normal or abnormal.

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the design of the graph reasoning attention module in the lifting posture detector is as follows. Given a feature graph G = (V, E), A is the adjacency matrix of the graph, V is the point set, and E is the edge set, so the corresponding Lapalace matrix can be obtained D is the degree matrix of the graph nodes, I n is the identity matrix, According to the definition, L is a real symmetric matrix, and L can be orthogonalized, so L = UΛU T, U is a set of orthogonal bases, Λ is the eigenvalue of the matrix, where after Fourier transform, Chebynet transform and low-order approximation definition of GCN, the definition of graph convolution can be converted into the following form:

[0068] Gconv(x)=U(I-Λ)U T x (1)

[0069] Given input feature X∈R C×H×W ,Y∈R C×H×W , after channel dimensionality reduction, the features are aggregated into a single channel, as shown in the formula, where is torch.mul(), and sigmoid is torch.Sigmoid().

[0070]

[0071] After flatten, conv1d, and reshape, the state transfer matrix is ​​formed, which is the similarity matrix required for the graph convolution operation. This matrix is ​​multiplied with the input encoder feature map, and the final output result is obtained after multiple stacked graph convolution modules.

[0072] In summary, the feature graph can be viewed as follows after being converted by the graph reasoning module:

[0073] X'=X*Conv1d(Flatten(map)) (3)

[0074] The feature map is constantly updated, and the stacking of the graph reasoning module is here. X' is used as the input of formula 2 to obtain the updated map and X. In this way, after several cycles, the weights of the output graph nodes tend to be stable, which is conducive to the model's grasp of the overall image and improves the stability of the lifting posture detector.

Hoisting posture detection: The image in the memory 22 is input into the hoisting posture detector 23 to determine whether the arm posture and chassis posture are out of range; the normal image of the arm and chassis posture and the recognition result can be stored in the memory as a log.
