[0002] Belt conveyors are widely used for transporting materials underground in mines. However, when operating underground, idler rollers bear the dual pressures of material load and belt friction.

[0046] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0047] It should be noted that although the device schematics illustrate functional module divisions and the flowcharts illustrate logical sequences, in certain circumstances, the steps shown or described may be performed in a sequence that differs from the module divisions in the device or the sequence in the flowcharts. The terms "first," "second," and so on, in the specification, claims, and drawings, are used to distinguish similar items and are not necessarily used to describe a specific sequence or precedence.

[0048] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0049] The embodiments of the present application propose a system and method for visual detection of tearing in mining conveyor belts, aiming to provide a solution that does not rely on large-scale training data, has strong adaptability and high real-time performance.

[0050] ‌Firstly‌, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mining conveyor belt tear visual detection system includes: a camera array arranged at the intervals between the mining belt conveyor rollers;

[0051] Gyroscope, used to dynamically monitor the real-time belt inclination of mining belt conveyors;

[0052] A control module, configured to control the camera array to adjust to a target pitch angle for shooting based on the real-time belt plane inclination angle and the camera array pitch angle adjustment strategy;

[0053] an image processing module, configured to convert an original image captured by the camera array into a plurality of grayscale images, perform stitching and fusing of the plurality of grayscale images to generate a panoramic image, perform edge enhancement processing on the panoramic image to obtain an enhanced image, extract connected domain closed contours from the enhanced image, and perform morphological closing operation fusion on adjacent closed contours whose distances meet a first preset condition; and

[0054] The detection module is used to calculate the area of ​​the fused contour, the angle between the main axis direction of the fused contour and the running direction of the conveyor belt, and the average edge gradient of the fused contour. When the area, angle and average edge gradient of the fused contour meet the second condition, it is determined that the conveyor belt is torn.

[0055] Specifically, industrial cameras are used to connect into a multi-camera splicing array to photograph the bottom surface of the conveyor belt of the mining belt conveyor.

[0056] The camera array can be set at the intervals between the rollers of the mining belt conveyor, such as Figure 2-5 shown.

[0057] Deploy a multi-camera array with adjustable angles at the intervals between the belt conveyor rollers, and dynamically adjust the camera pitch angle according to the belt inclination to ensure complete coverage of the belt bottom surface. Figure 6 As shown, the camera can be slidably mounted on the slide rail via a movable base. Figure 5 As shown, the slide rails can be hinged. The camera is movably assembled with the movable base via a rotating structure. These components can be equipped with a drive element for controlled movement.

[0058] This embodiment also provides a light source transmitter, which uses a circularly polarized light source and is installed adjacent to the camera.

[0059] Second, as Figure 1 As shown, the visual detection method for tearing of a mining conveyor belt is based on the above system, and the method includes:

[0060] Step S1: Obtain pictures of the belt conveyor during operation.

[0061] Specifically, based on the running speed of the belt, the image acquisition frequency of the industrial camera can be dynamically adjusted to capture multiple sections of the bottom surface of the belt.

[0062] Step S2: stitch the images acquired by the camera array.

[0063] Specifically, the image stitching method includes: extracting SIFT feature points from adjacent images and performing bidirectional matching, wherein the feature extraction is specifically to detect extreme points through a Gaussian difference pyramid to generate a 128-dimensional feature vector containing position / scale / direction information; the bidirectional matching is specifically to first find the nearest neighbor in image B based on the features of image A, and then reversely verify to ensure the uniqueness of the match; the RANSAC algorithm is used to eliminate incorrect matching points and solve the homography matrix H, specifically to randomly select 4 pairs of matching points to calculate the initial homography matrix H, calculate the reprojection error of all matching points after transformation by H, retain the inliers with an error less than a threshold (3 pixels), iterate 2500 times, and select the homography matrix H with the most inliers as the final required homography matrix; based on the iteratively selected final homography matrix, a weighted fusion algorithm is applied to eliminate stitching gaps, specifically to use linear gradient weights to smoothly transition from the edge area to the center, and to use multi-band fusion to fuse different frequency bands of the image pyramid separately to avoid misalignment of low-frequency information and generate a seamless panoramic image.

[0064] Step S3: Using geometric correction technology, the acquired curved surface image is converted into a straight surface.

[0065] Step S4: Convert the image into a grayscale image, calculate the second-order derivative of the grayscale image, and obtain the image contour details.

[0066] Specifically, ‌normalization and Gaussian smoothing‌: After mapping the image to the range [0,255], the grayscale image conversion is completed. The specific formula is: , where I is the pixel matrix of the original image, containing the grayscale values ​​of all pixels, and Grayscale is the grayscale conversion operation. is the converted image, and its value range is [0,255]. The specific operation of the function is , where Min(I) is the minimum grayscale value of the image pixel (i.e. the minimum value in the matrix), and max(I)‌ is the maximum grayscale value of the image pixel (i.e. the maximum value in the matrix). Gaussian smoothing is performed, and the Gaussian kernel used is , where σ is the smoothing intensity and x,y are the pixel positions in the digital image.

[0067] ‌Second-order derivative edge detection‌: grayscale image after Gaussian filtering Apply the following Laplace operator to get the second-order derivative contour details: , where i and j are the offsets of x and y, and K is the Laplace kernel.

[0068] Step S5: Perform grayscale transformation on the second-order derivative contour detail image and use median filtering to smooth the contour details.

[0069] Specifically, grayscale transformation enhancement: piecewise linear transformation is used to enhance edge contrast: , where k is the control slope, θ is the threshold, S is the second-order contour detail map, T(S) is the piecewise linear transformation function, and E is the grayscale image. The sigmoid function is used to enhance edge regions (preserve high values) and suppress non-edge regions (compress low values).

[0070] Before grayscale transformation and enhancement, corresponding normalization and Gaussian filtering can also be performed.

[0071] Normalize the second-order derivative contour details: , map the second-order derivative to [0, 255] to facilitate subsequent operations, min() is the minimum grayscale value of the image pixel, max() is the maximum grayscale value of the image pixel, L is the second-order contour detail map, and N() is the normalized result.

[0072] Gaussian kernel: .

[0073] Step S6: Binarize the image and find the contour.

[0074] Specifically, C=FindCountours(B) extracts the total number of closed contours in the binary image based on connected domain analysis. , B is the digital image after the binarization operation, FindContours() represents the contour search operation, and the specific operation is to use the Suzuki-Abe contour algorithm for topological contour analysis.

[0075] Step S7: Screening the contours that meet the tearing characteristics through contour analysis and region fusion.

[0076] Specifically, the contour fusion method includes: filtering the small contours using the following formula: , where Area( ) represents the total set of all identified contours, Represents the contour area threshold, Φ represents the threshold screening mechanism, removes noise contours with an area smaller than the threshold or an aspect ratio larger than the threshold, and selects all remaining contours. Based on the morphological closing operation, the merge distance is less than The remaining adjacent small contours have been framed to form a complete edge, and the merging algorithm is as follows: . Among them, the contour area is calculated and aspect ratio , remove or The noise profile of represents the distance threshold, Indicates the aspect ratio threshold.

[0077] Step S8: Check the constraints: 1. Using HSL color space analysis, the lightness value (L) of the cracked area should be 35% ± 5% lower than the baseline value (the baseline value is the average of the surrounding normal area); 2. Based on morphological feature detection, ensure that the contour continuity length is ≥ 300 mm (to filter out small scratches shorter than the roller spacing); 3. Color saturation (S) must be less than 15%, consistent with the low saturation characteristic caused by ash deposition; 4. The standard deviation of the main axis angle is less than 8° (to ensure linear extension characteristics); 5. The fractal dimension is less than 1.25 (to exclude stains that spread in a dendritic manner).

[0078] Step S9: Determine whether there is a matching contour, if so, execute step S10, otherwise execute step S1.

[0079] Specifically, the conditions for triggering the alarm are:

[0080] Condition 1: Contour area after fusion ;in is the contour area after fusion, It is the contour area threshold set in advance.

[0081] Condition 2: Angle between the main axis direction of the profile and the running direction of the belt ;in is the minimum threshold of the set angle, is the maximum threshold.

[0082] Condition 3: Contour edge gradient mean ;in is the actual contour edge gradient, is the gradient threshold set.

[0083] Step S10: Alarm and record the tearing position, and stop the belt conveyor.

[0084] Specifically, when recording the tearing position, the tearing position is calibrated jointly by the encoder and the image timestamp: ,in is the real-time belt speed, is the encoder reference time, The alarm trigger time.

[0085] In specific applications, the specific methods for dynamically adjusting the pitch angle of the camera include: using a gyroscope to monitor the inclination of the belt conveyor in real time, generating an angle compensation signal to drive the hinge motor, and adjusting the pitch angle of the camera array to the target angle. , satisfying the following constraints: .in, is the target coverage angle, is the inclination angle measured by the gyroscope, k is the proportional coefficient, ensuring that the viewing angle covers the full width of the belt, The current pitch angle of the camera.

[0086] The light source transmitter uses a circular polarized light source, which is installed close to the camera position and can be automatically moved to a position by a slide rail to meet the following requirements: in, is the position of the circularly polarized light source on the slide rail, is the belt width, and α is the divergence angle of the light source to eliminate the interference of reflections on the metal surface.

[0087] The advantages of the embodiments of the present application are mainly as follows:

[0088] 1. Environmental Robustness: The system uses a circularly polarized light source to suppress interference from metal surface reflections. Combined with a dynamic threshold algorithm, it automatically adapts to complex working conditions such as oil and dust on the belt surface, effectively eliminating image noise and improving the stability and accuracy of tear detection. Even under extreme conditions with a stain coverage rate of up to 30%, it can still maintain a detection rate of over 95%.

[0089] 2. Tilt Angle Versatility: The system uses an articulated camera array and gyroscope tilt feedback technology to adjust the camera pitch angle in real time (covering a tilt range of -30° to +45°). This allows it to adapt to the complex, tilted and undulating conveyor layouts underground without manual intervention, reducing equipment installation and commissioning time by over 80%.

[0090] 3. Real-time performance: Through a multi-stage image processing pipeline and FPGA hardware acceleration technology, the delay of the entire process of image acquisition, stitching, and analysis is compressed to less than 200ms, which is 5 times faster than traditional CPU solutions. This ensures that alarms can still be triggered in real time when the belt runs at high speed (5m / s), preventing the expansion of tears and causing production accidents.

[0091] 4. Precise positioning: Based on encoder pulse synchronization and image timestamp matching technology, combined with a belt speed integration algorithm, the tear position calibration error is less than ±5cm, which is 60% more accurate than traditional visual positioning methods, significantly shortening the troubleshooting time for maintenance personnel.
