Brief Description of the Drawings

[0017] In order to more clearly illustrate the specific embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the following will briefly introduce the drawings required for use in the description of the specific embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can also be obtained based on these drawings.

[0018] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of a metal material detection method based on a multi-mode excitation source provided by an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 It is a flowchart of performing feature fusion operations on the preprocessed signals to obtain multi-modal fusion features provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Embodiments

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below. Apparently, the described embodiments are only a part rather than all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the scope protected by the present invention.

[0020] Appendix Figure 1 shows a flowchart of a metal material detection method based on a multi-mode excitation source. As shown in the appendix Figure 1 shown, a metal material detection method based on a multi-mode excitation source includes the following steps: S1: Set up a multi-mode excitation source for metal material detection; In the metal material detection method based on a multi-mode excitation source, the excitation source is one of the core parts of the detection system. Its function is to excite the response signals inside the metal material through different physical methods, so as to provide basic data for subsequent detection.

[0021] Among them, the multi-mode excitation source includes one or several of an ultrasonic source, a mechanical vibration source, a heat source, and an electromagnetic field source; Among them, the ultrasonic source can emit high-frequency mechanical waves, which can propagate and reflect in the metal material. When the ultrasonic waves encounter defects (such as cracks, pores, etc.) inside the material, reflected waves and transmitted waves will be generated. By detecting the propagation characteristics of these waves, the internal structure information of the material can be obtained; the electromagnetic field source generates an alternating electromagnetic field to cause eddy currents inside the metal material. The distribution and intensity of the eddy currents are closely related to the conductivity, magnetic permeability, and internal defects of the material. By detecting the changes in the eddy currents, the electromagnetic characteristics of the material can be analyzed; the heat source locally heats the metal material to cause a thermal response. Defects (such as cracks, holes, etc.) inside the material will affect heat conduction, resulting in abnormal local temperature distribution. By detecting these temperature changes through thermal imaging technology, the defects can be located; the mechanical vibration source applies an external vibration to cause a vibration response of the metal material. Defects inside the material will affect the propagation and attenuation characteristics of the vibration. By detecting parameters such as the frequency and amplitude of the vibration signal, the internal structure of the material can be analyzed.

[0022] Further, the parameters of the excitation source include that the frequency range of the ultrasonic wave is 1 MHz - 20 MHz, and a suitable frequency is selected according to the detection target. For example, when detecting thicker metal materials, a lower frequency (such as 1 MHz - 5 MHz) is selected; when detecting thinner metal materials or micro-defects, a higher frequency (such as 10 MHz - 20 MHz) is selected. The frequency range of the electromagnetic field source is 10 Hz - 1 MHz, and a suitable frequency is selected according to the conductivity and detection depth of the material. For example, when detecting surface and near-surface defects, a higher frequency (such as 100 kHz - 1 MHz) is selected; when detecting internal defects, a lower frequency (such as 10 Hz - 10 kHz) is selected. The heating temperature range of the heat source is 50°C - 300°C, and a suitable temperature is selected according to the heat conduction characteristics of the material and the detection requirements. For example, when detecting the change of thermal resistance, a higher heating temperature (such as 200°C - 300°C) is selected; when detecting the heat conduction characteristics, a lower heating temperature (such as 50°C - 100°C) is selected. The frequency range of the mechanical vibration source is 10 Hz - 200 Hz, and a suitable frequency is selected according to the elastic modulus of the material and the detection target. For example, when detecting internal cracks, a lower frequency (such as 10 Hz - 50 Hz) is selected; when detecting high-frequency vibration characteristics, a higher frequency (such as 100 Hz - 200 Hz) is selected.

[0023] S2: Collect multi-mode excitation signals through the detection unit; The purpose of signal collection is to collect the response signals of the metal material under the action of different excitation sources, and these signals contain important information such as the internal structure, defect characteristics, and composition distribution of the metal material.

[0024] Among them, the collection of multi-mode excitation signals includes ultrasonic signal collection, vibration signal collection, thermal imaging signal collection, and electromagnetic signal collection.

[0025] Further, a piezoelectric ultrasonic sensor is used to collect ultrasonic signals, which can convert ultrasonic signals into electrical signals; an acceleration sensor or a displacement sensor is used to collect vibration signals, which can convert vibration signals into electrical signals; an infrared thermal imager is used to collect thermal imaging signals, which can convert the temperature distribution into a thermal imaging image; an electromagnetic induction sensor, such as a coil sensor, is used to collect electromagnetic signals, which can detect the change of eddy current signals. Therefore, the detection unit includes a piezoelectric ultrasonic sensor, an acceleration sensor or a displacement sensor, an infrared thermal imager, and a magnetic induction sensor.

[0026] Among them, when collecting multi-modal excitation signals, in some complex detection scenarios (such as weak response signals), according to the real-time feedback during the detection process, the signal acquisition parameters are dynamically adjusted; for example, if the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal collected by the ultrasonic detection unit is low, the intensity of the ultrasonic source can be appropriately increased or the emission frequency can be adjusted; if the temperature distribution image collected by the thermal imaging detection unit is not clear, the heating temperature or heating time of the heat source can be adjusted.

[0027] S3: Perform data preprocessing operations on the multi-modal excitation signals to obtain preprocessed signals; Preprocessing the collected signals is a key step in signal processing. Its purpose is to remove noise and interference signals, extract effective signal features, and provide high-quality data for subsequent analysis and processing; during the signal acquisition process, it is inevitably affected by external noise and internal interference, such as electromagnetic interference, environmental vibration, sensor noise, etc. Preprocessing can effectively remove this noise and improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal.

[0028] Among them, the data preprocessing operations include filtering and digital conversion; Among them, the filtering process is specifically: filtering the ultrasonic signal with a band-pass filter, setting the passband frequency to 1 MHz - 5 MHz; filtering the electromagnetic signal with a high-pass filter, performing mean filtering on the thermal imaging signal, and performing median filtering on the vibration signal; The digital conversion is to convert the ultrasonic signal, electromagnetic signal, and vibration signal into digital signals through an analog-to-digital converter (ADC).

[0029] S4: Perform feature fusion operations on the preprocessed signals to obtain multi-modal fusion features; In the detection of metal materials, signals of multiple physical fields are usually collected, such as ultrasonic signals, electromagnetic signals, thermal imaging signals, and vibration signals, etc. These signals each contain different information about the internal structure and defects of the material. In order to comprehensively analyze the characteristics of the material, it is necessary to fuse these multi-modal data. Traditional feature fusion methods (such as principal component analysis, neural networks, etc.) have certain limitations when dealing with multi-modal data, such as insufficient feature extraction and unsatisfactory fusion effects. Therefore, this embodiment proposes a multi-modal feature fusion and analysis method based on deep learning to improve the accuracy of feature fusion and the depth of analysis.

[0030] Specifically, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 shown, the S4 is specifically: S4.1: Perform deep feature extraction on the preprocessed signals to obtain ultrasonic signal features, electromagnetic signal features, thermal imaging signal features, and vibration signal features; Among them, the specific content of S4.1 is as follows: input the preprocessed ultrasonic signal, electromagnetic signal, thermal imaging signal, and vibration signal into the feature extraction model to obtain the ultrasonic signal feature F u , electromagnetic signal feature F e , thermal imaging signal feature F t , and vibration signal feature F v .

[0031] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic signal feature, electromagnetic signal feature, thermal imaging signal feature, and vibration signal feature are represented in the form of feature vectors; The feature extraction model is a convolutional neural network model (CNN).

[0032] S4.2: Input the ultrasonic signal feature, electromagnetic signal feature, thermal imaging signal feature, and vibration signal feature into the metal material defect model classification model, and output the classification result of the metal material to be tested; Among them, the metal material defect classification model is a convolutional neural network model. The input of the convolutional neural network model is the ultrasonic signal feature, electromagnetic signal feature, thermal imaging signal feature, and vibration signal feature. The classification result of the metal material to be tested is that the metal material to be tested is of single defect type and multi-defect type; Among them, the single defect type means that there is one defect in the detection part of the metal material to be tested; the multi-defect type means that there are at least two defects in the detection part of the metal material to be tested, including cracks, holes, corrosion, inclusions, uneven composition distribution, etc.; S4.3: Select a feature fusion method for the ultrasonic signal feature, electromagnetic signal feature, thermal imaging signal feature, and vibration signal feature according to the classification result, and output the multi-modal fusion feature; When the metal material to be tested is of single defect type, the feature fusion method is to perform feature fusion on the ultrasonic signal feature, electromagnetic signal feature, thermal imaging signal feature, and vibration signal feature through a convolutional neural network model based on the attention mechanism; Specifically, the attention mechanism is as follows: Calculate the attention weight of each modal feature; The formula is:

[0033] ; In the formula, a i is the attention score of each modal feature, W a and b a are learnable parameters, F i is the feature of the i-th modal, is the attention weight for each modal feature; Perform feature fusion on the ultrasonic signal feature, electromagnetic signal feature, thermal imaging signal feature, and vibration signal feature according to the attention weight of each modal feature to obtain a multi-modal fusion feature; ; In the formula, F fused is the fused multi-modal feature; In this step, the multi-modal data is learned through deep feature extraction and attention mechanism to obtain the fused multi-modal feature, which improves the accuracy of multi-modal feature fusion.

[0034] When the metal material to be measured is of multiple defect types, the feature fusion method is to perform feature fusion on the ultrasonic signal feature, electromagnetic signal feature, thermal imaging signal feature, and vibration signal feature by the hierarchical weighted summation method; Among them, the hierarchical weighted summation method is specifically: Align the ultrasonic signal feature, electromagnetic signal feature, thermal imaging signal feature, and vibration signal feature to the same size; Specifically, perform alignment operations on the sizes of the ultrasonic signal feature, electromagnetic signal feature, thermal imaging signal feature, and vibration signal feature through upsampling; The specific formula is:

[0035] In the formula, 、 、 、 are the aligned features; Perform primary fusion on the aligned features to obtain a primary fusion feature; Among them, the primary fusion is specifically: perform preliminary weighted summation on the features of each modality; Assume that the primary fusion weight of each modality is w u , w e , w t , w v , then the calculation formula of the primary fusion feature F primary is: ; Among them, the primary fusion weight of each modal feature is determined according to the statistical characteristics of each modal feature; specifically: ; ; ; ; In the formula, , , , are the variances of the ultrasonic signal feature, electromagnetic signal feature, thermal imaging signal feature, and vibration signal feature, respectively; Perform further weighted summation on the primary fusion features to obtain the secondary fusion feature F mid , assuming the secondary fusion weight is w mid : ; Among them, the calculation formula for the secondary fusion weight is: ; In the formula, α and β are learnable parameters.

[0036] The determination method is as follows: First, assign initial values to α and β using random numbers, and perform multiple training iterations (epochs) on the convolutional neural network model using the training set. In each iteration, perform forward propagation on the training set, calculate the output and loss value of the convolutional neural network model, and calculate the gradient of the loss value with respect to each parameter through the backpropagation algorithm. Then use the Adam optimizer to update the values of α and β until the loss value meets the requirements, and output the values of α and β at this time as the final values. In this solution, through hierarchical weighted summation fusion and dynamic weight adjustment, the primary fusion weight is determined based on the inherent characteristics of multi-modal data when determining the primary weight, and then secondary feature fusion is performed based on deep learning methods, making the feature fusion more accurate when facing complex defects.

[0037] S5: Input the multi-modal fusion feature into the defect detection model, and output the defect of the metal material to be tested; Among them, the defect monitoring model is a neural network model, the input of the neural network model is the multi-modal feature fusion feature, and the output of the neural network model is the defect type.
