Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automotive part detection, and particularly to a method for detecting the surface wear degree of a brake disc. Background Technique

[0002] With the rapid development of modern industrial technology, the brake disc, as a key safety component in vehicles such as automobiles, the stability and reliability of its performance are directly related to the driving safety of the vehicle. During the long-term use of the brake disc, due to friction and wear, the surface characteristics will change, and these changes directly affect the braking effect and the vehicle braking performance. Therefore, the accurate detection of the wear degree of the brake disc is particularly important. Traditionally, the detection of the wear degree of the brake disc mainly relies on manual visual inspection or simple physical measurement. These methods are not only time-consuming and laborious, but also easily affected by human factors, resulting in difficulties in ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the detection results. In recent years, with the continuous progress of optical technology and image processing technology, hyperspectral imaging technology has gradually been applied to material detection and surface characteristic analysis.

[0003] Hyperspectral imaging technology is a new type of detection technology that combines imaging technology and spectral analysis technology. It can image the target object in the visible light to near-infrared spectral range with hundreds of continuous and narrow spectral bands. This technology can not only obtain the spatial information of the target object, but also obtain its rich spectral information, thereby realizing the precise analysis and identification of the surface characteristics of the object. In the field of brake disc wear detection, hyperspectral imaging technology has significant advantages. First of all, hyperspectral images can capture the subtle spectral changes on the surface of the brake disc under different wear degrees, and these changes are often difficult to observe with the naked eye or traditional imaging technology. Secondly, through the extraction and analysis of the spectral features of hyperspectral images, the quantitative evaluation of the wear degree of the brake disc can be realized, improving the accuracy and objectivity of the detection. Finally, combined with advanced image processing technology and machine learning algorithms, the automatic detection and intelligent identification of the wear degree of the brake disc can be realized, greatly improving the detection efficiency and reliability. Therefore, a method for detecting the surface wear degree of a brake disc is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The surface inspection area of the brake disc is divided into the braking surface, the edge and the grooves; Inspection of the braking surface: The braking surface is the area where the brake disc directly contacts the brake pads and generates frictional force. Inspecting this area can directly reflect the main wear condition and usage status of the brake disc. By analyzing the wear degree, scratches, cracks, etc. on the braking surface, the performance and service life of the brake disc can be evaluated.

[0018] Inspection of the edge: Although the edge part of the brake disc does not directly participate in the braking process, its condition is equally important. Wear, deformation or cracks on the edge may affect the installation stability and braking effect of the brake disc.

[0019] Inspecting the edge helps to detect potential safety hazards in a timely manner and ensure the overall performance of the brake disc.

[0020] Inspection of the grooves: The grooves on the brake disc are usually formed due to long-term use and wear, and they may affect the contact area and frictional force between the brake disc and the brake pads. Inspecting the grooves can understand the depth, width and distribution of the grooves, so as to evaluate their impact on the braking performance. The detailed steps in step S2 are as follows: S2.1: Use Gaussian filtering to smooth the hyperspectral image and reduce noise; S2.2: For each pixel (x, y) in the hyperspectral image, extract a spectral feature vector F spectral (x, y), let S(x, y, λ) be the spectral reflectance of pixel (x, y) at wavelength λ, and the expression is: S2.3: Use the Canny edge detection image processing algorithm to extract the texture feature T(b, c) and edge features such as E(b, c) in the hyperspectral image, and obtain the image feature vector F image (a, b), and the expression is: Among them, K is the number of texture features, M is the number of edge features, and both a and b are the position coordinates of the pixel points; S2.4: Fuse the spectral feature vector F spectral (x, y) and the image feature vector F image (a, b) to obtain the fusion vector F fused = {F spectral (x, y), F image (a, b)}; S2.5: Multiple fusion vectors F fused That is, they form the data set D.

After the iterative training is completed, the final convolutional neural network model is obtained.

[0022] Step S4 is specifically as follows: S4.1: Use the validation set D 3 to validate the intermediate convolutional neural network model and evaluate the performance of the intermediate convolutional neural network model. The model structure and hyperparameters can be adjusted to achieve better generalization ability; S4.2: Tune the intermediate convolutional neural network model according to its performance on the validation set D 3 ; S4.3: Repeat Step S3 and Step S4.1 until the performance of the intermediate convolutional neural network model on the validation set D 3 no longer improves significantly, and the optimized convolutional neural network model is obtained.

[0023] Step S5 is specifically as follows: S5.1: Input the samples in the test set D 2 into the optimized convolutional neural network model to obtain the prediction result of the optimized convolutional neural network model for the wear degree of the brake disc. The expression is: where O i is the i-th sample in the test set D 2 , J α is the prediction result, G is the function representation of the model, which maps the input O i to the prediction result J, and θ is the set of model parameters; S5.2: Quantitatively evaluate the prediction result and calculate the prediction result accuracy rate. The expression is: where N test is the number of samples in the test set D 2 , argmax(J α ) is the index of the category with the highest probability in the prediction result, G α is the true category label of the α-th sample, and 1(·) is the indicator function; S5.3: Analyze the differences between the prediction results and the true labels, identify possible misjudgment situations in the model. The difference between the prediction result and the true result is expressed as: where C is the number of categories, J αc indicates whether the α-th sample belongs to category C, and G αc is the probability that the model predicts the α-th sample belongs to category C.

[0024] Step S6 is specifically as follows: The output range of the model is [0, 1], and the closer the output value is to 1, the more severe the wear degree is. According to the prediction result J α obtain the wear degree γ of the brake disc, and the expression is: where, when the wear degree γ ≤ β 1 , the wear degree is slight wear. When the wear degree β 1< γ ≤ β 2 , the wear degree is slightly medium wear. When the wear degree β 2< γ ≤ β 3 , the wear degree is medium wear. When the wear degree β 3< γ ≤ β 4 , the wear degree is medium-heavy wear. When the wear degree γ > β 4 , the wear degree is severe wear. β 1 , β 2 , β 3 and β 4 are 0.18, 0.43, 0.62 and 0.8 in sequence.
