[0052] In order to make the person skilled in the art better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0053] Reference to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are they necessarily mutually exclusive of one another. As will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, embodiments described herein can be combinable with other embodiments.

[0054] At present, in the production and processing process of biomass fuel, the traditional manual monitoring method is usually used to screen coarse and fine particles, so that the coarse particles are subjected to secondary crushing, thereby avoiding affecting the quality of the final product. At present, it usually depends on manual detection or machine screening. The former is prone to inconsistency of detection results, time-consuming and difficult to meet the real-time monitoring needs of large-scale production. The latter usually relies on a single feature, such as particle shape and size, when screening, which is also difficult to cope with complex and variable production environment. In order to solve the above problems, the present application aims to provide a remote production monitoring method for biomass fuel, which can quickly and accurately screen coarse and fine particle size regions through intelligent image recognition, thereby improving the energy efficiency of monitoring particle size and further improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The flowchart of a remote production monitoring method for biomass fuel provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the method comprises:

[0056] S10, a standard image database containing standard particles of different particle sizes is established, and first seed features of coarse particle regions and second seed features of fine particle regions are extracted from the standard images.

[0057] In step S10, when establishing the standard image database, high-definition images of standard particles of different particle sizes need to be collected to ensure that the image clarity is high enough to clearly distinguish the details of the particles. At the same time, the particle size information in each image is labeled to establish the correspondence between the image and the particle size. Then, the first seed features of the coarse particle regions and the second seed features of the fine particle regions are extracted from the standard images. The first seed features and the second seed features both include pixel gray scale features, texture features and shape features. Through multi-modal feature extraction, more comprehensive particle information can be obtained to improve the accuracy of subsequent classification. Through image processing and automatic feature extraction, the complexity of manual detection and feature extraction can be reduced, and the recognition efficiency is improved.

[0058] S20, the fuel particle images after being finely crushed by the crusher on the biomass fuel production line are collected, and the fuel particle images are subjected to gray scale processing to obtain first detection images.

[0059] In step S20, a high-definition camera is usually installed on the biomass fuel production line to periodically or continuously collect images of fuel particles. When collecting, ensure that the lighting conditions of the image collection environment are stable to avoid fluctuations in image quality due to changes in light. Further, after extracting the fuel particle images, the collected color images need to be grayscale processed to simplify the subsequent processing steps and reduce the computational complexity.

[0060] S30, using the first seed feature and the second seed feature to perform region growing segmentation on the first detection image respectively, to obtain the coarse particle region and the fine particle region in the first detection image, and to remove them from the first detection image to obtain the second detection image to be classified.

[0061] In this step, according to the first seed feature and the second seed feature extracted in step S10, region growing segmentation is performed on the first detection image to obtain coarse particle regions and fine particle regions respectively.

[0062] In one specific embodiment, the region growing process is as follows:

[0063] 1) Select seed points: Select multiple seed points, which should be located in the coarse particle region and fine particle region marked in the standard image. Use the first seed feature and the second seed feature in the standard image to initialize the seed points. For example: select the points with a gray value close to 120 in the image as the seed points of the coarse particle region; select the points with a gray value close to 80 in the image as the seed points of the fine particle region.

[0064] 2) Set the growth threshold: Set the growth threshold, i.e. the gray value difference between the seed points and the similar pixel points. For example, the growth threshold of the coarse particle region can be set to ±15 gray units; the growth threshold of the fine particle region can be set to ±10 gray units. Wherein, the threshold can be adjusted according to the actual gray distribution of the particles.

[0065] 3) Growth process: Starting from the seed points of the coarse particle region, gradually expand the pixel points with a gray value in the range of [105, 135] into the coarse particle region. Starting from the seed points of the fine particle region, gradually expand the pixel points with a gray value in the range of [70, 90] into the fine particle region.

[0066] 4) Stopping condition: When there are no more pixel points around that meet the growth condition, stop growing. For example, the maximum number of growth can be set to 100 times, or the maximum growth area can be set to 20% of the total image area.

[0067] 5) Result verification: Verify the segmentation results by manual sampling or comparison with the standard image to ensure that there is no omission or error.

[0068] Therefore, by the above specific implementation steps, the region growing segmentation can be effectively performed on the first detection image to obtain the coarse particle region and the fine particle region, and the accuracy and integrity of the segmentation result are ensured by setting appropriate growing threshold and stopping condition.

[0069] Generally, the coarse particle region and the fine particle region do not occupy the entire region of the first detection image. After obtaining the coarse particle region and the fine particle region in the first detection image, the segmented coarse particle region and fine particle region are removed from the first detection image to obtain a second detection image to be classified. Therefore, the present embodiment can improve the recognition rate of particles of different sizes by using the multi-scale segmentation technology, and ensure the comprehensiveness of the segmentation result.

[0070] S40, calculating the particle density distribution feature of the second detection image, and dividing the coarse particle region and the fine particle region of the second detection image according to the particle density distribution feature.

[0071] In this step, the particle density distribution feature generally refers to the density value distribution of different pixel point positions, and the number or density of particles in the neighborhood of each pixel point in the second detection image can be calculated. The density distribution can be estimated by counting the number of particles around each pixel point, thereby improving the calculation efficiency of the density distribution feature. After obtaining the particle density distribution feature, the coarse particle region and the fine particle region in the second detection image are divided by setting appropriate threshold.

[0072] Preferably, in some embodiments, when the density distribution feature is used to divide the coarse particle region and the fine particle region, local features can be focused on, such as local region division by sliding window, and a high-dimensional feature vector is formed by splicing the extracted local features together, which can further improve the robustness of classification.

[0073] S50, integrating the coarse particle regions in the first detection image and the second detection image to obtain a target coarse particle fuel to be finely crushed.

[0074] Finally, all the coarse particle regions identified in the first detection image and the second detection image are integrated to obtain a complete coarse particle region set, i.e. the final target coarse particle fuel can be determined, and these target coarse particle fuels need to be further finely crushed and then put into the fuel pressing process to improve the quality of the finished product.

[0075] Referring to Figure 2 In one embodiment, the first seed feature of the coarse particle region and the second seed feature of the fine particle region extracted from the standard image in step S10 include the following sub-steps:

[0076] S101, extract image features of coarse particle regions and image features of fine particle regions from the standard image, the image features including pixel gray level features, texture features and shape features.

[0077] For the convenience of understanding, first of all, the image features in this step are described:

[0078] Pixel gray level features: calculate the average gray level value and the gray level histogram of each particle region. Calculate the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) of the particle region, and extract statistical features such as energy, contrast, and homogeneity from it.

[0079] Texture features: use local binary pattern (LBP) to extract texture features of the particle region. Calculate the histogram of LBP, which reflects the distribution of local texture. Further features in the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) can be calculated, such as energy, contrast, and homogeneity.

[0080] Shape features: calculate the aspect ratio and roundness of the particle region. Use edge detection algorithms (such as Sobel operator and Canny operator) to extract edge information of the particle region. Calculate the edge density, which is the proportion of edge pixels.

[0081] Compared with the existing single feature extraction classification, the present embodiment can more comprehensively describe the characteristics of the particles by extracting gray level features, texture features and shape features, and improve the accuracy and robustness of the classification. The combination of multiple features can provide more abundant information, which is helpful to distinguish different types of particles.

[0082] S102, use SAE algorithm to reduce the dimension of the image features of coarse particle regions and the image features of fine particle regions respectively, and use gradient boosting tree algorithm to fit the reduced features.

[0083] In this step, the extracted features are reduced by using stacked auto-encoder (SAE), which removes redundant information and can retain the most important features. In this way, the computational complexity can be reduced and the running speed of the model can be improved. Specifically, multiple auto-encoders can be trained, each of which learns a part of the input features, and finally all the auto-encoders are connected in series to form a deep neural network.

[0084] Further, the gradient boosting tree algorithm is used to fit the reduced features, which specifically includes:

[0085] Suppose the total number of features is m and the number of categories is N, the Gini impurity of the node under the decision tree is calculated:

[0086] ;

[0087] In the formula, is the first Gini impurity of a node v in a decision tree; For a node Under the category The proportion of the occupied;

[0088] Calculate the feature In the node The change amount of Gini impurity before and after branching :

[0089] ;

[0090] In the formula, And Gini impurity of the two new nodes after branching respectively;

[0091] Define the feature In the decision tree The set of nodes appearing under the decision tree is Q, then The importance of the feature in the first Decision tree is:

[0092] ;

[0093] In the formula, Is a node in the node set Q;

[0094] Assume that a total of Trees are generated in the training process, then the importance of the feature In all trees Is:

[0095] ;

[0096] In the formula, Is the feature importance corresponding to each tree;

[0097] Normalization operation is performed to obtain the final importance score of the feature :

[0098] ;

[0099] In the formula, Is the importance under the feature dimension .

[0100] Therefore, by fitting the reduced features through the gradient boosting tree algorithm, the Gini impurity of different nodes under the decision tree is calculated, and the change amount of Gini impurity is calculated to determine the feature importance, and then according to the feature importance score, the most relevant feature quantity is selected from the multi-dimensional features, so that the prediction result is more accurate.

[0101] ​S103, screen the most relevant feature quantity after fitting, extract the target image features of the coarse particle region and the target image features of the fine particle region.

[0102] This step aims to analyze the correlation of the fitted features and screen out the feature quantity with the largest correlation. Preferably, the feature importance score can be used to select the most representative features. Then the target image features of the coarse particle region and the target image features of the fine particle region are obtained respectively. By screening the feature quantity with the largest correlation, the feature set can be further optimized, and the accuracy and robustness of the model can be improved.

[0103] S104, feature fusion is performed on the target image features of the coarse particle region to obtain the first seed feature; feature fusion is performed on the target image features of the fine particle region to obtain the second seed feature.

[0104] Finally, the target image features of the coarse particle region are fused to form a comprehensive feature vector as the first seed feature. The target image features of the fine particle region are fused to form a comprehensive feature vector as the second seed feature. In the fusion, feature splicing method can be used to splice different types of features together. Feature weighting method can also be used to assign different weights to different features according to experimental results. In this way, through feature fusion, a comprehensive feature vector containing multiple information can be formed, improving the classification efficiency and the accuracy and robustness of the classification results.

[0105] Therefore, the embodiment realizes an efficient and accurate biomass fuel particle feature extraction and classification method. It includes extracting multiple image features from standard images, using SAE algorithm for feature dimension reduction, using random forest algorithm for feature fitting, screening the feature quantity with the largest correlation, and performing feature fusion. Not only improves the accuracy and robustness of feature extraction, but also improves the efficiency and generalization ability of the model through feature dimension reduction and fusion, so as to realize the effective classification and monitoring of biomass fuel particle size.

[0106] Referring to Figure 3 In one embodiment, in the step S40 described above, the particle density distribution features of the second detection image are calculated, and the coarse particle region and the fine particle region of the second detection image are divided according to the particle density distribution features, which specifically includes the following sub-steps:

[0107] S401, calculate the pixel gray value of each pixel point in the second detection image as the density value of the corresponding position.

[0108] S402, traverse the second detection image using a sliding window, and calculate the average density in each window according to the density value:

[0109] ;

[0110] ;

[0111] wherein, denotes the average density within each window, denotes the top-left corner coordinate of the window, are the width and height of the window, respectively, is the density value of the image at is the pixel gray value of the image at is the pixel gray value of the image at .

[0112] S403, compare the average density of all windows with a preset threshold value, when the average density is greater than the preset threshold value, the area where the corresponding window is located is divided into coarse particle area, when the average density is less than or equal to the preset threshold value, the area where the corresponding window is located is divided into fine particle area.

[0113] Before step S401 is performed, in order to ensure the accuracy of the calculation result, it is usually necessary to appropriately pretreat the image, such as denoising and image enhancement, etc. In image processing, the gray value usually reflects the brightness or intensity of the pixel point. For fuel particle images, the more or more dense the particles are, the darker they usually appear (i.e. the higher the gray value), because the particles block the passage of light. Therefore, to some extent, the gray value can approximately represent the particle density at that position. A higher gray value means that more particles are accumulated at the same position, and vice versa. When the fuel particles are relatively uniformly distributed in the image, it can be assumed that the actual physical space represented by each pixel point in the image is the same. In this case, the gray value can directly reflect the number or density of particles.

[0114] Therefore, directly using the gray value instead of the density value in step S401 can simplify the calculation process, and since the complex density calculation step is omitted, the entire processing flow becomes more efficient, reducing the demand for computing resources.

[0115] Further, in step S402, the second detection image is traversed by using a sliding window, and the average density in each window is calculated according to the density value. By means of the sliding window, the density change in the image can be analyzed in detail. In this way, the local features of the particle distribution in the image can be captured, which is helpful for subsequent classification. Finally, when the average densities of all the windows are obtained, only a comparison with a preset threshold value is needed. When the average density is greater than the preset threshold value, the region corresponding to the window is divided into a coarse particle region; when the average density is less than or equal to the preset threshold value, the region corresponding to the window is divided into a fine particle region. Through the threshold comparison, the coarse particle region and the fine particle region can be accurately distinguished. In this way, the classification of the coarse and fine particle regions of the fuel particle image can be effectively performed, so as to improve the classification accuracy and efficiency. Therefore, through the division of the coarse and fine particle regions in multiple scales and the final integration and connection, compared with the single-scale division mode, the recognition accuracy of the coarse and fine particle regions can be greatly improved, and finally the finished product quality of the biomass fuel production line is improved.

[0116] In summary, the remote production monitoring method of the biomass fuel provided by the present application greatly improves the efficiency of particle size monitoring and reduces the necessity of manual participation by using automatic image acquisition and processing technology. The particle size classification is performed by using image processing technology and region growing segmentation technology, which reduces errors caused by human factors, realizes real-time monitoring and intelligent classification of particle size, and improves the accuracy and consistency of the classification results. The particle size classification is performed by combining multiple features such as gray value and particle density distribution, which improves the accuracy and robustness of the classification, improves the adaptability to complex production environments, and can effectively meet the particle classification requirements of different materials and sizes, thereby greatly improving the finished product quality and production efficiency of the biomass fuel production line.
