Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of image detection, and relates to a method and device for constructing a catalyst image expert knowledge base under catalyst electron microscope images. Background Art

[0002] The establishment of an expert database is fundamental and serves as a vehicle for storing expert information. It can provide strong talent and intellectual support for subsequent R&D work on the project. By establishing an expert knowledge base based on electron microscope catalyst images, sample information can be more comprehensively and accurately covered. Subsequently, through image retrieval, new catalyst images can be compared with images in the database to form prior knowledge, laying the foundation for subsequent catalyst R&D work, facilitating R&D workers' image analysis work, and improving the accuracy of subsequent catalyst R&D images.

[0003] With the rapid development and application of computers, networks, and multimedia technologies, the number of digital images is growing at an alarming rate. Content-based image retrieval technology can effectively solve the problem of retrieving relevant images from image databases. Traditional retrieval methods are text-based, which involves semantically describing all images in a digital image database, assigning a label and establishing a direct mapping between text and image. This transforms image searches into text searches, ultimately using matching algorithms to implement the text search process.

[0004] Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was originally used to study cell biology. However, in recent years, TEM has also been widely used in the examination of cultural relics, crystal analysis, and the microelectronics industry. The wide variety of materials and their diverse microstructures greatly increases the difficulty of accurately classifying them. In real life, classifying unknown materials based on TEM images requires a considerable amount of time and effort from experts in various fields. Therefore, building an automated material classification system based on TEM images can not only reduce the waste of human resources but also enrich research in this area. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention proposes a method and device for constructing an expert knowledge base of catalyst images. The present invention constructs an expert knowledge base of catalysts, compares new catalyst images with images in the library, forms prior knowledge, and improves image recognition accuracy.

[0006] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for constructing a catalyst image expert knowledge base, comprising:

[0008] Constructing a catalyst activity prediction model, and using the catalyst activity prediction model to perform feature identification on the control sample image, establishing a catalyst data set, and generating an expert knowledge base;

[0009] The catalyst image to be tested is compared with the images in the expert knowledge base, and when the similarity exceeds a preset similarity threshold, the catalyst image to be tested and / or the corresponding control sample image are identified.

[0014] In some embodiments, the second feature is compared with the first feature using a Euclidean distance method.

[0015] In some embodiments, the 12-dimensional feature vector of each channel of the catalyst image to be tested is sequentially subtracted from the 12-dimensional feature vector of each channel of the image in the expert knowledge base to obtain a difference of 12 feature vectors;

[0016] The difference of each eigenvector is squared and then multiplied by the first weight of each eigenvector to obtain the distance value of each channel.

[0017] The distance value of each channel is multiplied by the second weight value occupied by the channel and then weighted to obtain a target distance, which represents the similarity between the catalyst image to be tested and the image in the expert knowledge base.

[0018] In some embodiments, before performing feature identification on the control sample image, the method further includes performing enhancement processing on the control sample image.

[0019] In some embodiments, a bilinear interpolation method is used to enhance the local information of the control sample image.

[0020] In some embodiments, the method further comprises adding basic information of catalysts to the expert knowledge base, wherein the basic information of catalysts comprises at least type information of each catalyst;

[0041] In order to make the above features and effects of the present invention more clearly understood, embodiments are given below and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] refer to Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 Graph 1 shows the overall flow chart of the method for constructing a catalyst image expert knowledge base provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0043] A method for constructing a catalyst image expert knowledge base includes at least the following steps:

[0044] S1. Collect electron microscope images of catalysts with different activities and obtain images of control samples.

[0045] In this embodiment, electron microscope images of catalysts with different activities, such as TEM electron microscope images of hydrogenation catalysts and alumina with different activities, are collected and annotated according to manual identification and judgment by industry experts as reference sample images. Such sample images are established into an expert knowledge base as a reference standard for new catalyst images and a basis for judgment.

[0046] In addition, in this embodiment, the control sample image is further enhanced. Specifically, a bilinear interpolation method may be used to enhance the local information of the control sample image.

[0047] S2. Constructing a catalyst activity prediction model, and using the catalyst activity prediction model to perform feature identification on the control sample image, establishing a catalyst data set, and generating an expert knowledge base.

[0048] In this embodiment, a catalyst activity prediction model is further constructed based on the deep learning method, and the model is trained, published, modified, etc. The trained catalyst activity prediction model is used to perform feature identification on the control sample image, establish a catalyst data set, and generate an expert knowledge base.

[0049] In addition, in this embodiment, basic information of catalysts is further added to the expert knowledge base. The basic information of catalysts includes information such as type information and catalyst number of each catalyst, so as to facilitate search and query through the expert knowledge base.

[0050] In addition, in this embodiment, after the catalyst activity prediction model is constructed, the performance of the catalyst activity prediction model needs to be further tested. If the model accuracy does not meet the preset accuracy requirement, the parameters of the catalyst activity prediction model need to be adjusted.

[0051] S3. Compare the image of the catalyst to be tested with the images in the expert knowledge base. When the similarity exceeds a preset similarity threshold, identify the image of the catalyst to be tested and / or the corresponding control sample image.

[0052] In this embodiment, after constructing an expert knowledge base on catalysts, the image of the catalyst to be tested is compared with the images in the expert knowledge base, including two situations: identifying the image of the catalyst to be tested and identifying multiple reference sample images with high correlation from the expert knowledge base. Specifically:

[0053] One of the situations is: before comparing the catalyst image to be tested with the image in the expert knowledge base, first perform feature extraction on the catalyst image to be tested to obtain a second feature; then compare the second feature with the first feature obtained by feature identification of the control sample image. When the similarity exceeds a first similarity threshold, the catalyst image to be tested is identified. In this case, the preset similarity threshold includes the first similarity threshold.

[0054] In addition, another situation is: feature extraction is performed on the catalyst image to be tested to obtain a second feature; then the second feature is compared with the first feature obtained by feature identification of the control sample image. When the similarity exceeds the second similarity threshold, the corresponding control sample image is identified from the expert knowledge base. In this case, the preset similarity threshold includes the second similarity threshold. In this embodiment, the first similarity threshold and the second similarity threshold can be set to different values, and this embodiment does not specifically limit the size relationship between the two. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, JPE001 and JPE002 are related control sample images screened from the expert knowledge base based on the original image on the left.

[0055] In a specific implementation, the second feature is compared with the first feature using the Euclidean distance method, that is, the 12-dimensional feature vector of each channel of the catalyst image to be tested (specifically including the three channels H, S, and V) is subtracted from the 12-dimensional feature vector of each channel of the image in the expert knowledge base in sequence to obtain the difference of the 12 feature vectors; then, the difference of each feature vector is squared, multiplied by the first weight of each feature vector, and weighted to obtain the distance value of each channel. The distance value is the value obtained by multiplying the square of the difference of each feature vector by the first weight of each feature vector, and then taking the square root of the weighted sum. Finally, the distance value of each channel is multiplied by the second weight occupied by the channel and weighted to obtain the target distance, which can represent the similarity between the catalyst image to be tested and the image in the expert knowledge base.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, basic catalyst information is added to the expert knowledge base, which includes at least the type information of each catalyst. In practice, the type information of the catalyst image to be tested needs to be analyzed. If a catalyst image of that type does not yet exist in the expert knowledge base, it is added to the expert knowledge base to complete the image type and its corresponding label. Specifically, the first catalyst type information of the catalyst image to be tested is read. If it is determined that the first catalyst type information does not exist in the basic catalyst information in the expert knowledge base, the catalyst image to be tested is added to the catalyst dataset to enrich the expert knowledge base, and the first catalyst type information is added to the basic catalyst information.

[0057] In summary, the present invention provides a method for constructing an expert knowledge base for catalyst images. The method collects electron microscope images of catalysts with different activity levels to obtain control sample images. A catalyst activity prediction model is constructed, and the control sample images are characterized using the catalyst activity prediction model to establish a catalyst data set and generate an expert knowledge base. The image of the catalyst to be tested is then compared with the images in the expert knowledge base. When the similarity exceeds a preset similarity threshold, the image of the catalyst to be tested and / or the corresponding control sample image are identified. This method establishes an expert knowledge base to store catalyst image information and assign values ​​to images. After the expert knowledge base is established, the image of the catalyst to be tested is searched and compared in the library to form prior knowledge, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of image recognition. In addition, the expert knowledge base can add new types of catalyst images, which are placed in the expert knowledge comparison library through expert analysis results. Users can manually add / delete database images, which is flexible and convenient.

[0058] Furthermore, according to the above catalyst image expert knowledge base construction method, the present invention also provides a catalyst image expert knowledge base construction device 300, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 4 The structure diagram of the catalyst image expert knowledge base construction device is shown.
