Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of graph artificial intelligence technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for detecting the quality of rubber accelerator particles based on perception fusion. Background Technology

[0002] Rubber accelerator granules are indispensable additives in the rubber industry. By regulating the vulcanization reaction rate and crosslinking density, they directly affect the mechanical properties (such as tensile strength and abrasion resistance) and processing efficiency of rubber products. In key areas such as tires, seals, and conveyor belts, the physical characteristics (particle size distribution, morphological uniformity, purity) and chemical characteristics (active ingredient content, dispersibility) of accelerator granules directly determine the quality and stability of the final product. Currently, with the development of neural network technology, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have provided a breakthrough solution for intelligent quality inspection of rubber accelerator granules. For example, based on improved YOLOv8 or Mask R-CNN algorithms, real-time location and classification of defects such as particle agglomeration, foreign matter inclusions, and surface cracks can be achieved.

[0034] The network architecture and business scenarios described in the embodiments of this invention are for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this invention. As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of network architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this invention are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0035] For example, Figure 1 This invention provides a schematic flowchart of a method for detecting the quality of rubber accelerator particles based on sensor fusion. This method can be applied to electronic devices.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the flowchart of this rubber accelerator particle quality detection method based on sensor fusion is as follows:

[0037] S101, the electronic device acquires images of multiple rubber accelerator particles.

[0038] S102, the electronic device acquires a sequence of sensing signals obtained by sensing multiple rubber accelerator particles.

[0039] In steps S101-S102, the electronic device can acquire a sensing signal sequence from the sensing receiver. Specifically, the sensing transmitter sends sensing signals to multiple rubber accelerator particles, and the sensing receiver obtains the sensing signal sequence by receiving the echo signals of these sensing signals. The multiple rubber accelerator particles are arranged in an array on the detection panel. The sensing transmitter sends K beams (where K is an integer greater than 1) to the array in the direction pointing towards the rows of the array. Any two beams from the K beams cover different rows of the array, and the K beams cover all rows of the array. Each of the K beams carries one sensing signal, resulting in a total of K sensing signals. These sensing signals are generated using a ZC sequence, an m-sequence, or a gold sequence; that is, the sensing transmitter can generate and transmit sensing signals using a ZC sequence, an m-sequence, or a gold sequence. The sensing receiver obtains a sensing signal sequence by receiving the echo signals of each of the K sensing signals, resulting in a total of K sensing signal sequences. Correspondingly, the electronic device can acquire images of multiple rubber accelerator particles captured by the imaging device; wherein, the imaging direction of the imaging device is pointed to and perpendicular to the detection panel, and the imaging device can capture images of multiple rubber accelerator particles to obtain images.

[0040] In this context, each rubber accelerator particle in a plurality of rubber accelerator particles may be agglomerated.

[0041] For ease of understanding, such as Figure 2 As shown, multiple rubber accelerator particles are placed in a 6x6 array on the detection panel. The sensing transmitter transmits three beams along the rows of the array: beam #1, beam #2, and beam #3. Beam #1 covers rows 1-2 of the array, totaling 12 rubber accelerator particles. Beam #2 covers rows 3-4, totaling 12 rubber accelerator particles. Beam #3 covers rows 5-6, totaling 12 rubber accelerator particles. The sensing receiver receives the echoes generated by the reflection / refraction of the three beams by the rubber accelerator particles, thus receiving three sensing signal sequences.

[0042] S103, the electronic device uses an AI / ML model to perform multimodal dimensional fusion detection processing on the image and the perceived signal sequence to obtain the detection result.

[0043] The test results indicate whether there are quality defects in the rubber accelerator particles among the multiple rubber accelerator particles.

[0044] The following is a detailed introduction to S103:

[0045] First, electronic devices can extract features from images using the feature extraction layer of an artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML) model. The AI / ML model can be a deep neural network model, such as a convolutional neural network (CNN). The feature extraction layer can perform convolution processing, extracting image features through convolution. The image features are constructed as a matrix, such as an M*N matrix, where M and N are both integers greater than 1, M is the number of columns, and N is the number of rows.

[0046] Secondly, the electronic device can divide the features of the image into K parts based on the number of sensing signal sequences, obtain K sub-features, and fuse the K sub-features with the K sensing signal sequences one-to-one to obtain K fused features.

[0047] For example, the sensing signal sequence corresponds to the elements in the rows of a matrix. That is, for each sensing signal sequence, the elements in the sequence, ordered from front to back (or from smallest to largest index), can sequentially characterize the features of one or more rows of rubber accelerator particles in the corresponding array. Similarly, the elements in a row of a matrix, ordered from front to back (or from smallest to largest index), can sequentially characterize the features of one or more rows of rubber accelerator particles in the corresponding array. Based on this, the electronic device can divide the matrix into K subarrays along the column dimension, based on the number of K sensing signal sequences. Each subarray represents a sub-feature, and the column size of each subarray is floor(1 / K) of the matrix's column size, where floor() represents rounding down. For example, a 7x6 matrix, where each row has 6 elements (each element is a vector) and each column has 7 elements, such as... Figure 2 In the scenario shown, K=3, meaning the 7x6 matrix can be divided into 3 subarrays. The first subarray is a 2x7 subarray, where the 2 rows are the first and 2nd rows of the matrix, and the size of each column (or the number of elements in each column) is 2. The second subarray is a 2x7 subarray, where the 2 rows are the third and 4th rows of the matrix, and the size of each column is also 2. The third subarray is a 2 / 3x7 subarray, where the 2 / 3 rows are the fifth to sixth / seventh rows of the matrix, and the size of each column can be 2 or 3.

[0048] Electronic devices can fuse K subarrays with K sensing signal sequences in a one-to-one correspondence to obtain K fused features. For example, an electronic device can redirect the element of the i-th sensing signal sequence in the K sensing signal sequences to the element of the i-th subarray in the K subarrays to obtain a fused feature, where i is an integer. If i is an integer ranging from 1 to K, a total of K fused features are obtained. Redirecting the element of the i-th sensing signal sequence to the element of the i-th subarray means fusing the i-th sensing signal sequence with the i-th subarray. This redirection can be understood as matching the physical spatial positions during fusion to achieve the fusion of elements of the same rubber accelerator particle in the image with elements in the sensing signal sequence.

[0049] In one possible approach, each row of the array can contain P rubber accelerator particles, where P is an integer greater than 1. The electronic device can divide the i-th sensing signal sequence into P sensing signal sub-sequences based on the P rubber accelerator particles in each row of the array. The electronic device can then fuse the elements contained in the j-th sensing signal sub-sequence among the P sensing signal sub-sequences into the S-th element of the i-th subarray. j To T j For each element in a column, a fused feature is obtained; the number of columns in the i-th subarray is M, where M is an integer greater than 1, and the S-th column... j To T j The number of columns is floor(M / P)*j.

[0050] Here, the j-th sensing signal subsequence contains L elements, where L is an integer greater than 1. Fusion refers to combining the first S-th sensing signal subsequence with the second S-th sensing signal subsequence. j To T j In the construction of each element in the column, L zero elements are added, and then the L zero elements are replaced one-to-one with the elements contained in the j-th perceptual signal subsequence; or, fusion refers to combining the S-th... j To T j Each element of the column is added to the elements contained in the j-th sensing signal subsequence.

[0051] For example, S of the i-th subarray j To T j The following formula (1) is used:

[0052]

[0053] The j-th sensing signal subsequence is shown in equation (2) below:

[0054] (y1, y2, y3); (2)

[0055] Based on this, the characteristics of fusion can be shown in equation (3) / (4);

[0056]

[0057] Here, x11 represents one element, x12 represents another element, and so on. Similarly, y1 also represents one element, y2 represents another element, and so on.

[0058] In another possible approach, each row of the array contains P rubber accelerator particles, where P is an integer greater than 1. The electronic device can divide the i-th sensing signal sequence into P sensing signal sub-sequences based on the P rubber accelerator particles per row. The electronic device then randomly selects an element from the elements of the j-th sensing signal sub-sequence among the P sensing signal sub-sequences and merges it into the S-th subarray of the i-th subarray. j To T j From the corresponding element in the column, a fused feature is obtained; the number of columns in the i-th subarray is M, where M is an integer greater than 1, and the S-th column... j To T j The number of columns is floor(M / P)*j. Here, fusion refers to randomly selecting one element from the elements contained in the j-th perceived signal subsequence and combining it with the S-th... j To T j Add the corresponding elements in the column.

[0059] It is understandable that the above random sampling method involves selecting the Sth... j To T j The columns are considered as a whole, which, after fusion, can contain elements of the corresponding sensing signal subsequences.

[0060] Finally, the electronic device can perform feature detection processing on the K fused features through the feature processing layer of the AI / ML model to obtain the detection result. The feature processing layer can include a pooling layer, a fully connected layer, and an output layer. The detection result can be a rubber accelerator particle marked with a quality defect in the image, indicating that the rubber accelerator particle has a quality defect, or the image itself, indicating that the rubber accelerator particle does not have a quality defect.

[0061] In summary, electronic devices can acquire images of multiple rubber accelerator particles and a sequence of sensing signals obtained by sensing these particles. Then, using an AI / ML model, the electronic device performs multimodal dimensional fusion detection processing on the images and the sensing signal sequence to obtain detection results indicating whether quality defects exist in the multiple rubber accelerator particles. By fusing sensing and image processing, the robustness and reliability of rubber accelerator particle quality detection can be further improved.

[0062] The above combination Figure 1This invention provides a detailed description of a method for detecting the quality of rubber accelerator particles based on sensor fusion, as provided in the embodiments of the present invention. The following details a sensor fusion-based apparatus for detecting the quality of rubber accelerator particles used to perform the method provided in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0063] The device is configured to: acquire images of multiple rubber accelerator particles; acquire a sequence of sensing signals obtained by sensing the multiple rubber accelerator particles; and perform multimodal dimensional fusion detection processing on the images and sensing signal sequences using an AI / ML model to obtain detection results, which indicate whether there are rubber accelerator particles with quality defects among the multiple rubber accelerator particles.

[0064] Optionally, acquiring a sensing signal sequence obtained by sensing multiple rubber accelerator particles includes: acquiring the sensing signal sequence from a sensing receiver, wherein a sensing transmitter sends sensing signals to multiple rubber accelerator particles, and the sensing receiver obtains the sensing signal sequence by receiving the echo signals of the sensing signals.

[0065] Optionally, multiple rubber accelerator particles are arranged in an array on the detection panel. The sensing transmitter sends K beams (K is an integer greater than 1) to the array in the direction pointing towards the rows of the array. Any two beams of the K beams cover different rows of the array, and the K beams cover all rows of the array. Each of the K beams carries a sensing signal, resulting in a total of K sensing signals. The sensing receiver obtains a sensing signal sequence by receiving the echo signal of each of the K sensing signals, resulting in a total of K sensing signal sequences. Correspondingly, images of the multiple rubber accelerator particles are acquired, including: acquiring images of the multiple rubber accelerator particles captured by the imaging device; wherein the imaging direction of the imaging device is pointed to and perpendicular to the detection panel, and the imaging device captures images of the multiple rubber accelerator particles to obtain images.

[0066] Optionally, a multimodal dimensional fusion detection process is performed on the image and the sensing signal sequence using an AI / ML model to obtain the detection result. This includes: performing feature extraction processing on the image using the feature extraction layer of the AI / ML model to obtain the image features; dividing the image features into K parts based on the number of sensing signal sequences (K), obtaining K sub-features, and fusing the K sub-features with the K sensing signal sequences one-to-one to obtain K fused features; and performing feature detection processing on the K fused features using the feature processing layer of the AI / ML model to obtain the detection result.

[0067] Optionally, the image features are constructed as a matrix, with the perceptual signal sequence corresponding to the elements in the rows of the matrix. Based on this, according to the number of perceptual signal sequences being K, the image features are divided into K parts to obtain K sub-features. The K sub-features are then fused with the K perceptual signal sequences in a one-to-one correspondence to obtain K fused features. This includes: dividing the matrix along the column dimension according to the number of perceptual signal sequences being K, thereby dividing the matrix into K sub-matrices. Each of the K sub-matrices is a sub-feature. The column size of each of the K sub-matrices is floor(1 / K) of the column size of the matrix, where floor() represents rounding down. The K sub-matrices are then fused with the K perceptual signal sequences in a one-to-one correspondence to obtain K fused features.

[0068] Optionally, the K subarrays are fused one-to-one with the K sensing signal sequences to obtain K fused features, including: redirecting the element of the i-th sensing signal sequence in the K sensing signal sequences to the element of the i-th subarray in the K subarrays to obtain a fused feature, where i is an integer. When i is an integer from 1 to K, a total of K fused features are obtained; wherein, redirecting the element of the i-th sensing signal sequence to the element of the i-th subarray means that the i-th sensing signal sequence is fused with the i-th subarray.
