[0056] This invention discloses a weld seam tracking and correction system and method for narrow-gap automatic welding. An image acquisition module captures images of the welding object, obtaining images of the pre-weld gap and the monitored weld seam. An image analysis module obtains welding deviation parameters based on these images, including the value of missing weld area, the value of punctures, and the width difference. A data analysis module obtains a welding deviation coefficient based on these parameters. A tracking and correction platform generates a correction alarm command based on the welding deviation coefficient and sends it to a correction alarm module. Upon receiving the correction alarm command, the correction alarm module sounds a correction alarm. This weld seam tracking and correction system obtains welding deviation parameters through analysis of the pre-weld gap and the monitored weld seam. The welding deviation coefficient obtained from these parameters comprehensively measures the degree of deviation in welding the pre-weld gap; a larger welding deviation coefficient indicates a greater degree of deviation. The higher the degree of deviation, the more unreasonable the monitored weld is, requiring follow-up and correction of deviations in subsequent welding work. If a non-conforming weld is found, tracking begins to obtain an anomaly coefficient. The anomaly coefficient measures whether the weld deviation is accidental or widespread. A small anomaly coefficient indicates that the weld deviation is accidental, and subsequent automatic correction restores the welding process to normal. A large anomaly coefficient indicates that the weld deviation is widespread, and weld deviations continue to occur, requiring alarm and maintenance. This weld tracking and correction system achieves automated and highly efficient monitoring, enabling precise tracking and timely correction of welds, optimizing welding effects, improving welding quality, effectively solving the problems of traditional manual monitoring methods, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of monitoring. In addition, the system also has a real-time alarm function with high accuracy, enabling timely detection and handling of problems, ensuring pipeline safety. Attached Figure Description
