[0003] However, due to the complex and various preparation processes and the anisotropy of the material itself, defects such as pores, delamination and cracks are inevitably generated in the preparation process, which leads to uneven local density distribution and weakens the local area, and affects the reliability in the service process of the structure, so the defect detection and structural uniformity characterization are of great significance. At present, most researches mainly focus on the mechanical properties, tensile strength, thermal stability, oxidation resistance and other performances, and the research on the influence of the defects such as pores generated in the preparation process of the special-shaped ceramic matrix composite material on the structural uniformity is relatively less. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a method for effectively characterizing the density uniformity of the ceramic matrix composite material without damaging the material, and to improve the preparation process through the characterization results to reduce the influence of the pore defects generated in the preparation on the material uniformity.

[0004] Most of the existing technical researches are based on the whole component as the research object, and the researched components are mostly regular components, or the uniformity of the sample is usually characterized by porosity, and the calculation of the porosity usually introduces a large error, and cannot accurately quantify and characterize the uniformity distribution difference of the special-shaped component.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings, wherein the drawings form a part of this application and are used to illustrate the principles of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.

[0057] An embodiment of the present application provides a uniformity characterization method of a special ceramic matrix composite component, the special ceramic matrix composite component refers to a composite component with complex structure and irregular shape, and the special ceramic matrix composite component usually has multiple deformation parts, and the deformation parts such as bending are more prone to have porosity defects due to the influence of a processing process, and therefore, accurate characterization of the uniformity of the special ceramic matrix composite component is a necessary process for improving a ceramic matrix composite preparation process.

[0058] As shown in Figure 1 , the uniformity characterization method comprises the following steps:

[0059] Step S1: performing image foreground segmentation on the CT tomographic image sequence to obtain a foreground contour image sequence of the composite component.

[0060] The CT tomographic image sequence can be obtained by scanning a sample to be measured by using a cone beam CT scanning system of a high-resolution microfocus industrial CT device.

[0061] In particular, the present application takes a carbon fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composite special component as an example, and the specific structure is a "U" shape, as shown in Figure 2 . Preferably, the embodiment performs image foreground segmentation on the CT tomographic image sequence by using an improved image foreground segmentation algorithm, and specifically comprises the following steps:

[0062] obtaining an initial foreground contour of each image in the CT tomographic image sequence by edge detection;

[0063] constructing an energy function, the energy function comprising internal energy for controlling the smoothness and elasticity of the contour line and external energy for attracting the initial foreground contour line to move towards the target edge;

[0064] iteratively adjusting the position of the initial foreground contour line in each image to minimize the energy function, and obtaining an image foreground contour conforming to the edge of the composite component.

[0065] Further, the initial foreground contour of the CT tomographic image sequence is obtained by edge detection, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0066] performing smoothing processing on the CT tomographic image by using a Gaussian filter;

[0067] calculating the gradient intensity and direction of each pixel point in the image by using a Sobel operator to obtain a corresponding gradient image;

[0068] based on a non-maximum suppression algorithm, scanning the gradient image, and retaining a point with the maximum local gradient to remove non-edge pixels;

[0069] The edge pixel points are determined based on preset high and low gradient thresholds. For a point with a gradient value greater than the high threshold, the point is determined as a strong edge and is reserved. For a pixel point with a gradient value between the two thresholds, the pixel point is determined as a weak edge. For a weak edge connected with the strong edge, the weak edge is determined as an edge pixel point and is reserved. For a weak edge pixel point not connected with the strong edge, the weak edge pixel point and a pixel point less than the low threshold are jointly determined as noise and are removed. The gradient thresholds can be adaptively set according to the gradient of the actual image to be processed.

[0070] The detected edges are tracked to identify and connect the broken edges, so as to form a complete edge contour.

[0071] The CT tomographic image including the edge contour is processed by the mathematical morphological closing operation, a hole part of the image is filled, and the initial foreground contour is obtained.

[0072] That is, the embodiment is improved by the active contour method combined with multiple algorithms, and adaptive segmentation of the foreground of a special-shaped component image is realized. First, a method for adaptively obtaining an initial contour curve is established by combining Canny edge detection with mathematical morphological closing operation, and initial contour curve setting is realized according to the required foreground contour of the image to be segmented.

[0073] A certain image of a CT tomographic image sequence is shown in Fig. 1(a), and the foreground contour of the tomographic image is preliminarily obtained by Canny edge detection, as shown in Fig. 1(b). Then, the tomographic image is processed by using mathematical morphological closing operation, a hole part of the image is filled, and the initial contour curve is obtained after the foreground contour is filled, as shown in Fig. 1(c). Figure 3 Figure 3 A certain image of a CT tomographic image sequence is shown in Fig. 1(a), and the foreground contour of the tomographic image is preliminarily obtained by Canny edge detection, as shown in Fig. 1(b). Then, the tomographic image is processed by using mathematical morphological closing operation, a hole part of the image is filled, and the initial contour curve is obtained after the foreground contour is filled, as shown in Fig. 1(c). Figure 3

[0074] After the initial contour curve is obtained, the active contour method is used to segment an accurate foreground contour image. The basic principle of the active contour method is to construct an energy function, drive the energy function to the minimum value, make the contour curve close to the image foreground edge, and segment the required foreground.

[0075] More specifically, for a CT tomographic image I(x,y), a C(S) = C(x(s),y(s)) is constructed as an evolution curve in the image, where s is used to uniformly represent the coordinates x and y of the curve.

[0076] The energy function is defined as:

[0077] J snake =J int +J ext +J cons ;

[0078] J int ​​is the internal energy term related to the information inside the contour curve, which makes the contour curve keep continuity and smoothness during evolution; J ext is the external energy term related to the image information, also called image force, under the action of which the contour curve approaches the edge of the target; J cons is the constraint term, which provides constraint for the evolution of the curve and makes the segmentation result more accurate, and can be ignored.

[0079] The internal energy term related to the information inside the contour curve is defined as follows:

[0080]

[0081] Wherein, J coutin is the energy continuity term; a(s) is the elastic coefficient, which controls the extension of the contour curve to the target and keeps continuity; J smooth is the smooth energy term; β(s) is the rigidity coefficient, which controls the concave-convex degree of the contour curve with the shape of the target and keeps the smoothness of the contour curve.

[0082] The external energy term is determined by the information of the image, and a scalar representation representing the global features of the image can be selected. Considering the gradient jump at the edge of the target, the embodiment defines the external energy term by the gradient of the image, and the expression is as follows:

[0083]

[0084] The external energy drives the contour curve to converge to the target, and the role of the coefficient γ(s) is to adjust the step of convergence, and ∇I is the gradient information of the image.

[0085] Therefore, the energy function of the embodiment is represented as:

[0086]

[0087] By solving the minimum value of the above formula, the contour curve can be converged at the maximum gradient point of the image, and the maximum gradient of the image is generally obtained at the edge of the target, so solving the minimum value of the above formula can detect the edge of the target.

[0088] That is, the embodiment generates deformation of the initial contour curve under the action of the internal energy and the external energy by the active contour method, the external energy attracts the initial contour curve to move to the edge of the object foreground, and the internal energy keeps the smoothness of the initial contour curve, when the energy reaches the minimum value, the initial contour curve moves to the edge of the image foreground, and the final foreground contour image is obtained. As shown in Figure 3 (d) of FIG. 4

[0089] The embodiment improves the image foreground segmentation algorithm, accurately segments the foreground contour image of the tomographic image, and is used for subsequent three-dimensional spatial blocking and average gray value calculation, thereby improving the accuracy of the gray value calculation and the accuracy of the uniformity representation of the composite material component

[0090] Step S2: performing a pore defect segmentation on the CT tomographic image sequence based on the foreground contour image sequence, to obtain a pore defect image sequence;

[0091] Specifically, the adaptive threshold segmentation method can be used to perform the pore defect segmentation on the CT tomographic image sequence of the composite material component, including:

[0092] In the corresponding foreground contour, each image in the CT tomographic image sequence is subjected to a smoothing processing to remove noise;

[0093] For each pixel point in each image, a weighted average value of pixel values of the neighborhood pixel points is calculated to obtain a local threshold value;

[0094] Each pixel point is subjected to a binaryzation processing by using the local threshold value, to complete the pore defect segmentation.

[0095] The pixel points with a pixel value greater than or equal to a threshold value are marked as 1, representing the image foreground, i.e., the pore defect; and the pixel points with a pixel value less than the threshold value are marked as 0, representing the background pixel.

[0096] That is, for the problem of uneven pore density distribution of the special-shaped composite material component, the adaptive threshold segmentation method is used to perform the pore defect segmentation. The adaptive threshold segmentation is to determine the threshold value of each pixel according to the local characteristics of the image. The segmentation threshold value at each pixel position is determined by the distribution of the neighborhood pixels, and the threshold value with the best segmentation effect can be calculated according to the gray distribution characteristics of the image. For example Figure 4 As shown in (a) of FIG. 6, the CT image of the bending part of the “U” shaped structure component is taken as an example, and the adaptive threshold segmentation result is shown in (b) of FIG. 6. Figure 4

[0097] Step S3: performing a three-dimensional spatial blocking based on the pore defect image sequence, and obtaining the average gray values of each block after the blocking;

[0098] Specifically, the pixel marking method can be used to perform the three-dimensional spatial blocking based on the pore defect image sequence, including:

[0099] Based on the image contour in the pore defect image sequence, the region is divided;

[0100] ​Based on the coordinate information of each pixel point in the different regions of the pore defect image sequence, the pixel label value of each pixel point is calculated, and the pixel points with the same pixel label value are divided into the same block.

[0101] More specifically, the CT tomographic image of the U-shaped sample used in the embodiment is as shown in Fig. 1(a). Considering the structural shape characteristics, in order to facilitate the analysis of the uniformity of the pore distribution in different parts, the images in the pore defect image sequence are divided into five regions as shown in Fig. 1(b), which are two side edge parts, two curved parts and a horizontal part of the component, for subsequent block division. Figure 4 Figure 5

[0102] Further, the three-dimensional space is divided into blocks for each region of the pore defect image, as shown in Fig. 1(a) and Fig. 1(b), and the calculation of the pixel label value of each pixel point can be represented by the following formula: Figure 6 Figure 6

[0103]

[0104] wherein k (i,j) represents the pixel label value of the pixel point (i, j), m , n are respectively the number of blocks on the pore defect image and the number of blocks in the direction of the tomographic sequence, l is the length of the block direction of each region, N is the number of tomographic images of the composite component, i is the coordinate of the target pixel in the block direction, j represents the coordinate of the pore defect image sequence direction, i.e. the jth image, represents the rounding operation.

[0105] Further, assuming that the number of voxels of the block labeled k in the pore defect image sequence is mk , and the total gray value is gk , then the average gray value of the block corresponding to the corresponding pixel label value is represented as:

[0106] G k = g k / m k .

[0107] The accurate average gray value of each block calculated in the embodiment can be used for subsequent visualization and digital characterization of the uniformity of the composite component, thereby improving the accuracy and intuitiveness of the material uniformity characterization.

[0108] Step S4: replacing the average gray value into the corresponding block of the foreground image sequence to perform three-dimensional reconstruction, thereby completing the visualization and characterization of the uniformity of the composite component.

[0109] ​​​​Specifically, the embodiment realizes the visual representation of the material uniformity by reconstructing the sequence of tomographic images in three dimensions and representing the average gray value in two dimensions to the three-dimensional space. In order to reconstruct in three dimensions, first, the average gray value of each block is replaced into the sequence of foreground profile images according to the corresponding pixel marker value, and the replacement result is shown in Figure 7 Then, the sequence of images after replacement is reconstructed in three dimensions using volume rendering algorithm. Volume rendering is a direct display based on volume data, which directly projects pixels to the display plane with certain color and transparency. The embodiment adopts ray casting volume rendering algorithm, and the result is shown in Figure 8 Different gray values are mapped to different colors after three-dimensional reconstruction. In the CT tomographic image after three-dimensional reconstruction, the part with large gray value is the high-density area, and the part with small gray value is the low-density area. Therefore, the density distribution of the composite material can be reflected by the distribution of colors, and the uniformity of the composite material can be intuitively represented.

[0110] Further, the embodiment also represents the density distribution of the sample by the average gray value of each block of the composite material component; the average gray value of each block is statistically analyzed and a broken line graph is drawn to complete the digital representation of the material uniformity of the composite material component based on the density distribution.

[0111] Specifically, the CT tomographic image reflects the absorption degree of the sample to X-ray through different gray values. When the thickness of the sample is not much different, the difference in the density of the sample is reflected in the difference in brightness on the X-ray image. Therefore, the CT tomographic image can represent the size of the material density according to the size of the pixel gray value of the tomographic image. The relationship between the X-ray image gray value and the sample with different densities is shown in Figure 9 For the high-density part, more X-rays are absorbed and less X-rays are transmitted, which is represented as white on the CT tomographic image; for the medium-density part, the absorption of X-rays is reduced and the transmission of X-rays is increased, which is represented as gray on the image; for the low-density part, less X-rays are absorbed and more X-rays are transmitted, which is represented as black on the image. The density distribution of the sample is represented by calculating the average gray value of each block of the composite material component. The distribution of the gray value is used as the basis for evaluating the material uniformity. The digital representation of the material uniformity can be realized by statistically analyzing the average gray value of each block and drawing a broken line graph.

[0112] The embodiment statistically analyzes the average gray value of each block calculated for each region. Each part is divided into 16 blocks along the Y-axis direction (the direction of the sequence of CT tomographic images), region ① is divided into 5 blocks along the X-axis direction, and regions ④ and ⑤ are divided into 8 blocks along the Z-axis direction. The results of the average gray value of each block of each part are shown in Figure 10 (a), (b), (c) and (d) of Figure 10It can be seen that the uniformity of the five regions in the Y direction (the length direction of the component) shows the difference in the grayscale value distribution of each part. The high and low grayscale values ​​in the figure can represent the high and low density of each part, and then the uniformity distribution difference of each part can be characterized. The area with abnormal density can be located according to the data for generating process analysis and optimization, thereby improving the uniformity and reliability of composite components.

[0114] The memory stores instructions that can be executed by the processor, and the instructions are used to be executed by the processor to implement the aforementioned method for characterizing the uniformity of a special-shaped ceramic-based composite material component.

[0115] In summary, the method for characterizing the uniformity of a special-shaped ceramic-based composite material component proposed in the present invention automatically obtains an accurate foreground contour image of the composite material component through an improved image foreground segmentation algorithm, and divides the foreground contour image into blocks using a pixel labeling method, calculates the grayscale average value of each block, and uses the average grayscale value to achieve a visual and digital characterization of the uniformity of the composite material component, greatly improving the accuracy of the uniformity distribution characterization of various parts of the material component. In addition, the present invention can simultaneously quantitatively characterize the overall and local uniformity of the sample, and by dividing the data into three-dimensional spatial blocks, it can characterize the uniformity differences of various parts of the component; it realizes the uniformity characterization of special-shaped components, and the spatial block division method can process both regular components and irregular components, thereby achieving the uniformity characterization of special-shaped components.
