Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bridge crack image recognition, and specifically to a bridge crack image recognition method based on a drone and an AI algorithm. Background Art

[0002] Bridge crack image recognition refers to the use of image processing and machine learning technology to analyze photos or scanned images taken of the bridge surface to detect and identify whether there are cracks on the bridge surface, as well as the type, location and extent of the cracks. Drones and AI algorithms are a technical solution that combines drone technology and artificial intelligence algorithms to automatically detect and identify cracks on the bridge surface. Its main idea is to use drones to collect images of bridges, and then use AI algorithms to analyze the collected images and identify cracks.

[0003] Patent publication number CN119540240A is a bridge crack detection method based on image recognition. The method splits the bridge image into three monochrome channels of red, green, and blue to obtain three spectral images. The spectral image corresponding to each channel is processed separately, and the suspected points on each spectral image are extracted. Then, based on each suspected point on each spectral image, the channel contrast value and regional trajectory distortion value of the suspected point are calculated to reflect the subtle texture and structural characteristics of the crack. Then, the red, green, and blue channel weight matrices are constructed to characterize the weight of the crack on the three channels. The weight of the pixel points on the crack is quantified by the red, green, and blue channel weight matrices, which can more accurately distinguish between real cracks and background noise, significantly reduce the false detection rate, and improve the reliability of crack detection.

[0004] When the above-mentioned and similar technical solutions analyze the acquired bridge images, the images will be affected by sunlight during the image acquisition process, and the intensity, color temperature, and incident angle of sunlight will change in real time with the weather, time, and season, which will lead to certain differences in the acquired image data.

[0054] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] In the bridge crack image recognition based on drones and artificial intelligence algorithms, the quality of image data is crucial and directly affects the accuracy and reliability of crack recognition. However, in practical applications, the bridge image acquisition process will inevitably be interfered by multiple factors, resulting in certain differences and complexity in the image data, which in turn increases the difficulty of crack recognition. First of all, sunlight is one of the important factors affecting the quality of bridge images. In the process of drones acquiring bridge images, the intensity, color temperature, and incident angle of sunlight will change in real time with weather, time, and season. These changes cause the acquired image data to present different lighting conditions. For example, in clear weather, the light intensity is high, and strong light spots and shadows may appear on the bridge surface, which reduces the contrast between the cracks and the background and increases the difficulty of crack recognition. At the same time, changes in the incident angle will also affect the image quality. When light shines on the bridge surface at an oblique angle, it will produce longer shadows, causing some cracks to be shadowed. Occlusion makes it impossible to detect. Therefore, changes in sunlight bring great challenges to bridge crack image recognition, making it difficult for the algorithm to accurately identify cracks. The bridge crack image recognition method based on drones and AI algorithms provided in this application optimizes image quality through a two-stage illumination compensation mechanism. In the first stage, basic compensation adopts channel splitting and global mean calculation, and linearly corrects the original pixels in combination with calibrated grayscale values ​​to eliminate the overall deviation of ambient light. In the second stage, shadow compensation for solar incident angle is introduced, and combined with the distance parameter and incident angle of the sky segmentation area, shadow interference is dynamically corrected through the attenuation coefficient to solve the problem of insufficient contrast of cracks under complex lighting conditions such as backlight and cloudy weather. The flight path is generated based on the bridge size, the drone is constrained to scan linearly, and the light incident angle is obtained in real time by associating the photosensitive components with the time series information set to ensure the timeliness of the shadow compensation parameters. The drone is equipped with a high-definition camera and a photosensitive plate to realize the synchronous acquisition of "image-light angle", completing the acquisition of image and light data in a short time. Figure 1 As shown, steps S100-S700 are included.

[0056] Step S100: Acquire image information data of a target bridge to obtain an image information set.

[0057] It should be noted that if Figure 2 As shown, the image information set includes at least one image information item consisting of a target bridge picture, and the method for acquiring the image information set includes: setting an acquisition module, the acquisition module is a drone module, acquiring overall information of the target bridge, and obtaining a target information item; creating an acquisition path based on the target information item, limiting the path of the acquisition module based on the acquisition path, limiting the height of the acquisition module based on the initial height information of the acquisition module and the target bridge, the drone module is equipped with a camera component, and image information data of the target bridge is acquired based on the camera component, thereby obtaining an image information set.

[0058] In the specific implementation process, Figure 3 As shown, it is necessary to perform crack detection on a bridge A. First, the width of the bridge is obtained to be 30m and the length is 90m. The overall information of Bridge A is obtained, and then the target information item is obtained. The image information of Bridge A needs to be obtained and subsequently analyzed. By setting the UAV module, the UAV module is equipped with a camera component, which is a high-definition camera. According to the target information item of Bridge A, the acquisition path is set. First, the two ends of Bridge A are set as the acquisition starting point and the acquisition end point respectively. Based on the connection line between the acquisition starting point and the acquisition end point as the acquisition path, the path of the UAV module is limited so that the UAV module moves along the acquisition path. When the image information of Bridge A is started to be acquired, the height information of the UAV module from Bridge A is obtained. The height of the UAV module is limited based on the height information, and then the image information data of Bridge A is acquired based on the camera component on the UAV module to obtain an image information set. The image information set includes three bridge pictures of Bridge A.

[0059] Step S200: Acquire a determination area of ​​an image information item to obtain a determination target item.

[0060] It should be noted that the target item is used to represent the crack determination area of ​​the target bridge image. After obtaining the image information set, image recognition judgment is required. When the image shows that the entire bridge has suspected cracks, the area with suspected cracks is determined as the target item.

[0061] During the specific implementation process, image information of a certain bridge is now obtained. When identifying and judging the image information, it is found that there is an irregular shadow part at a certain position in one of the images, while the shadow part does not exist in other positions and other images. At this time, this area is determined to be the judgment target item.

[0062] Step S300: Create a basic illumination compensation formula as the first stage compensation to obtain a first compensation item.

[0063] It should be noted that the method for creating the basic illumination compensation formula includes: based on the image information item, splitting the image information item according to the number of channels to obtain at least two split channel items; obtaining the global average value of the split channel items respectively to obtain the channel mean item;

[0064] Create a basic lighting compensation formula:

[0065] ;

[0066] in is the image pixel value after basic lighting compensation, is the initial pixel term, To calibrate the grayscale value, To calibrate the grayscale value, the calibrated grayscale value is 128, and the first stage pixel compensation data of the initial pixel item is obtained based on the basic illumination compensation formula to obtain the first compensation item.

[0067] It should be noted that based on the determination target item, the original image pixel value of the determination target item is obtained to obtain the initial pixel item, and based on the image information item, the channel mean of the image information item is obtained. The method for obtaining the channel mean item includes:

[0068] Based on the split channel item, create the channel mean acquisition formula:

[0069] ;

[0070] in is the total number of pixels, The value of the split channel item with coordinates (x, y) in the image information item.

[0071] In the specific implementation process, Figure 4 As shown in the figure, when crack image recognition is performed on a bridge B, an image b of the bridge B is obtained. There is a position c in the image b that is suspected to be a crack. At this time, the original image pixel value of position c is (50, 70, 90). At this time, the image b is first split into three channels: red, green, and blue, which are set as channel 1, channel 2, and channel 3 respectively. The mean value information of these three channels in image b is obtained respectively. It is obtained that there are ten pixels in image b. The channel values ​​of each pixel are shown in Table 1:

[0072] Table 1

[0073]

[0074] At this time, the formula is obtained based on the channel mean:

[0075] ;

[0076] The calculation shows that:

[0077] ;

[0078] ;

[0079] ;

[0080] That is, the channel means of channel 1, channel 2, and channel 3 are 85, 90, and 60 respectively;

[0081] At this time, according to the basic lighting compensation formula:

[0082] ;

[0083] Since the original image pixel values ​​are (50, 70, 90), the initial pixel items are 50, 70, and 90 respectively;

[0084] The corresponding calculation results are:

[0085] ;

[0086] ;

[0087] ;

[0088] 75.5 is rounded to 76, that is, the image pixel value after basic illumination compensation is (76, 99, 192).

[0089] Step S400: Obtaining the illumination incident angle information when the image information item interacts with the target bridge in a state corresponding to the determination target item, and obtaining the incident information item.

[0090] It should be noted that the timing information of the image information item is obtained to obtain a timing information set corresponding to the image information set. Based on the timing information set, the acquisition module also includes a photosensitive component, and the method for obtaining the incident information item includes: obtaining the image information item where the target item is located to obtain the target information item; based on the timing information set, obtaining the timing information item corresponding to the target information item to obtain the target timing item; based on the target timing item, the acquisition module obtains the incident angle information of the light through the photosensitive component to obtain the incident information item.

[0091] In the specific implementation process, Figure 5 As shown, it is necessary to perform crack detection on a bridge C. Three image information items of the bridge are obtained through the acquisition module composed of the UAV module, namely Image 1, Image 2 and Image 3, and the corresponding time sequence information is 8:00, 8:10 and 8:20 respectively, thereby obtaining a time sequence information set. At this time, a certain area in Image 2 is determined to be the determination area item, and the target information item is obtained as Image 2. The time sequence information corresponding to Image 2 is obtained as 8:10. Since a photosensitive component is also provided on the acquisition module, which is a photosensitive plate, the incident angle of light at 8:10 is obtained as 45° through the photosensitive plate, thereby obtaining the incident information item.

[0092] Step S500: Create a solar incidence angle shadow compensation formula as the second compensation stage.

[0093] It should be noted that the method for obtaining the distance between the pixel coordinates in the image information item and the sky segmentation area and the maximum sky distance value in the image information item, and the method for creating the solar incidence angle shadow compensation formula include: identifying and determining the sky pixel area in the image information item to obtain the segmentation area item; obtaining the maximum value information of the distance between the pixel point in the image information item and the segmentation area item to obtain the maximum distance value; obtaining the distance information between the determination target item and the segmentation area item to obtain the determination distance value;

[0094] Create the shadow compensation formula for the sun incidence angle:

[0095] ;

[0096] in is the image pixel value after the sun’s incident angle shadow compensation, is the image pixel value after basic lighting compensation, is the intensity attenuation coefficient, which is set to 0.5. is the incident information item, To determine the distance value, is the maximum distance value;

[0097] In the specific implementation process, when crack image recognition is performed on a bridge B, an image b of the bridge B is obtained. There is a position c in the image b that is suspected to be a crack. At this time, the original image pixel value of position c is (50, 70, 90). After basic illumination compensation, the image pixel value of position c is (76, 99, 192). At the same time, when the image b is obtained, the incident angle of the light is 45°, that is, is 45°, and after obtaining the sky pixel area in image b, the maximum value information of the distance between the pixel point in image b and the sky pixel area is 500 pixels, so is 500, and the distance between the area where position c is located and the sky pixel area is 200 pixels, so is 200, so according to the formula:

[0098] ;

[0099] The calculation results are:

[0100] ;

[0101] That is, after the shadow compensation of the solar incidence angle, the pixel value of position c is (103, 126, 219).

[0102] Step S600: performing segmented compensation on the initial pixel items based on the first stage compensation and the second stage compensation.

[0103] It should be noted that the compensated pixel value of the target item is obtained to obtain the processed pixel item, thereby realizing the compensation of comprehensive basic illumination and solar incident angle shadow. The image quality is optimized through a two-stage illumination compensation mechanism. In the first stage, the basic compensation adopts channel splitting and global mean calculation, and combines the calibrated grayscale value to perform linear correction on the original pixel to eliminate the overall deviation of the ambient light. In the second stage, solar incident angle shadow compensation is introduced, combined with the sky segmentation area distance parameter and the incident angle, and the shadow interference is dynamically corrected through the attenuation coefficient to solve the problem of insufficient crack contrast under complex lighting conditions such as backlight and cloudy weather, and reduce the deviation rate of the compensated pixel value.

[0104] Step S700: Obtain identification features of the processed pixel items to obtain identification feature items.

[0105] It should be noted that the identification feature items are judged, thereby realizing the identification and judgment of the bridge crack image. The method for judging the identification feature items includes: based on processing pixel items, respectively obtaining color features, shape features and range features to obtain color recognition items, shape recognition items and range recognition items, and combining the color recognition items, shape recognition items and range recognition items to obtain identification feature items; creating an impact information library, the impact information library includes background impact data and impurity impact data, and based on the comparison results between the impact information library and the identification feature items, judging whether the identification feature items are in the impact information library, thereby realizing the judgment of the identification feature items.

[0106] Specifically, by creating an influencing information database, factors that are prone to misjudgment in the process of identifying bridge crack images, such as the bridge background and impurities attached to the bridge, are obtained. By collecting these factors and comparing the color features, shape features, and range features extracted from the processed pixel items with the factor features in the influencing information database, the determination of the identification feature items is achieved.

[0107] It should be noted that the method for creating the impact information library includes: obtaining the initial state data of the target bridge, which includes the background color and texture of the bridge; obtaining the initial impurity data of the target bridge, which includes the residual impurity color, residual impurity size, and residual impurity shape; and creating the impact information library based on the initial state data and the initial impurity data as data filling.
