Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of nondestructive testing of ancient buildings, and in particular to a device and method for detecting rain seepage conditions of wooden lintels of ancient buildings based on infrared thermal imaging. Background Art
[0002] As a treasure of traditional Chinese culture and architectural skills, the structural composition of wooden ancient buildings demonstrates outstanding wisdom and exquisite design. As an important component of wooden ancient buildings, the roof includes wooden lookout boards, thatch, tiles and ridges. These load-bearing and covering components form a "protective umbrella" for wooden ancient buildings. The roof has been affected by the natural environment for a long time and is prone to rain seepage; at the same time, natural aging causes the performance of wood to decline, and external factors cause the wooden lookout boards to wear and increase the risk of rain seepage. The rain seepage of wooden lookout boards in ancient buildings is serious, which will increase the moisture content of wood, cause microbial growth and cause the wooden lookout boards to decay, thereby affecting the strength and stability of the wooden lookout boards, and then threatening the safety of the entire wooden structure of the ancient building. Due to the particularity of the position of the wooden lookout boards in ancient buildings, that is, the outer side of the wooden lookout boards is covered with thatch and tiles, it is difficult to detect the rain seepage from the outside. The inner side of the wooden lookout boards is mostly in a narrow ceiling. Traditional detection methods are not only difficult to detect the results, but also easy to cause certain damage to the wooden lookout boards of ancient buildings.
[0003] Infrared thermal imaging rain infiltration detection uses an infrared thermal imager to detect the surface temperature of a building, and determines whether there is rain infiltration by comparing the difference in the surface temperature of the building being tested. For wooden structures of ancient buildings, the specific heat capacity of water is greater than that of wood. Under the same thermal radiation conditions, the temperature of the rain infiltration part rises less due to the presence of water, while the temperature of dry wood rises significantly, thus showing a temperature difference on the infrared thermal image. However, the existing infrared thermal imager has a small field of view and low resolution, and cannot capture all wooden lookouts at once, and the captured infrared thermal images are not clear, which greatly reduces the efficiency and accuracy of rain infiltration detection.

[0019] In combination with the second aspect, in a second possible implementation of the second aspect, the temperature range and image format of the infrared thermal image of the wooden fascia of the ancient building are uniformly processed, and the infrared thermal image is denoised using a median filtering method.

[0028] Combine the following Figure 1 and Figure 2 The invention describes a device and method for detecting rain seepage of wooden lintels of ancient buildings based on infrared thermal imaging.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a device for detecting rain seepage conditions of wooden balusters of ancient buildings based on infrared thermal imaging according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a wooden board 1, a rectangular guide rail 2, a slider 3, a bracket 4, a damping shaft 5, and an infrared thermal imager 6.
[0030] The rectangular guide rail 2 is used to be fixed on the wooden board 1 to provide a stable sliding track for the slider 3, ensuring that the slider 2 can move smoothly and accurately in the horizontal direction;
[0031] The slider 3 is slidably connected to the rectangular guide rail 2. This connection mode enables the slider 3 to move on the rectangular guide rail 2 with high precision, low noise and high load capacity.
[0032] The bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the slider 3 to support the infrared thermal imager 6 and ensure its stability;
[0033] The damping shaft 5 is placed in the middle of the top of the bracket 4 to assist the infrared thermal imager 6 in adjusting the height in the vertical direction and the pitch angle within the range of -45° to +45° and the horizontal angle within the range of 0 to 360°, so as to facilitate the shooting of the entire wooden lookout board of the ancient building;
[0034] The infrared thermal imager 6 is installed on the damping shaft 5, and is used to take a set of infrared thermal images of the wooden fascia boards of the ancient buildings with overlapping areas;
[0035] The wooden board 1, the rectangular guide rail 2, the slider 3, the bracket 4, the damping shaft 5 and the infrared thermal imager 6 all have openings to ensure that they can be fixed to the ground or other stable supports by bolts and that any two of them can fit closely to achieve synchronous movement.
[0036] Corresponding to the device for detecting rain seepage conditions of wooden balusters of ancient buildings based on infrared thermal imaging provided in the above-mentioned embodiment, the present invention also provides an embodiment of a method for detecting rain seepage conditions of wooden balusters of ancient buildings based on infrared thermal imaging. Figure 2 The present invention provides a method flow chart of detecting rain seepage of wooden lintels of ancient buildings based on infrared thermal imaging. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:
[0037] S101, infrared thermal imaging is performed from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. to obtain a set of infrared thermal images of the wooden lookout boards in the overlapping areas;
[0038] S102, performing unified processing such as temperature range, image format, and image denoising on the infrared thermal image;
[0039] Use SmartView software to adjust the temperature range of the infrared thermal image to be consistent and convert the image to the same PNG format; image denoising of the infrared thermal image, including: preprocessing the infrared thermal image and using the median filtering method to denoise the infrared thermal image.
[0040] S103, performing feature extraction and conversion matrix calculation on the infrared thermal image to complete image stitching;
[0041] The SIFT algorithm is used to extract features from adjacent infrared thermal images, and a distance-based feature matching algorithm is used to calculate the Euclidean distance between the feature point descriptors in every two infrared thermal images, and the pair of feature points with the minimum distance are confirmed as matching points.
[0042] Based on the matched feature points, the transformation matrix is calculated, and the infrared thermal images are spliced according to the transformation matrix and the weighted average method. Since a set of infrared thermal images taken are approximately in the same plane and the movement of the infrared thermal imager is mainly translation, the affine transformation model is used to calculate the transformation matrix. Substitute multiple pairs of matching points into the equation, form a linear equation group, and solve the least squares method to obtain the parameters of the affine transformation matrix. Affine transformation formula:
[0043]
[0044] The coordinates of the matched feature point pairs in the source image are (x i y i ), the coordinates in the target image are (x′ i y′ i ), a, b, c, d, e, f are the parameters of the affine transformation matrix.
[0045] S104, performing diversified processing on the infrared thermal image to extract different rain infiltration areas;
[0046] Through color feature clustering technology, the pixels in the image are classified according to color similarity to form different color clusters, which are associated with the degree of rain seepage in the infrared thermal image. That is, each cluster represents a range of similar colors, which corresponds to the different degrees of rain seepage conditions of the wooden balusters of the ancient buildings.
[0047] According to the background temperature of the day, appropriate thresholds are set to classify image pixels into different categories, thereby determining multiple ranges. After clustering is completed, the areas represented by different color clusters are marked and classified into rain infiltration levels.
[0048] S105, calculating the area and proportion of the rain seepage area on the wooden board, and determining the rain seepage degree of the wooden board.
[0049] Based on the marking results, according to the correspondence between the image pixel coordinates and the actual physical size, the number of pixels in each rain infiltration area is counted, and combined with the actual area corresponding to a single pixel, the actual physical area and area ratio of each rain infiltration area are calculated.
[0050] The total area ratio of each infiltration area is: if the area ratio is less than 10%, it is classified as light infiltration; if the area ratio is 10% to 30%, it is classified as moderate infiltration; if the area ratio is greater than 30%, it is classified as heavy infiltration.
[0051] The invention provides an ancient building wooden plank rain seepage condition detection device and method based on infrared thermal imaging, which can realize the accurate calculation of the rain seepage area and proportion of the ancient building wooden plank; it can accurately judge the rain seepage condition of the ancient building wooden plank, and effectively serve the ancient building protection work.
