Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of material identification technology, specifically a method for material identification in high-temperature, dusty, and condensing environments. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial settings such as metallurgy, cement, and thermal power generation, real-time identification of material composition is crucial for process control, product quality improvement, and energy efficiency optimization. Especially in extreme environments such as high temperatures (≥80℃), high dust levels (concentration ≥50mg / m³), and high condensation levels (humidity ≥90%RH), achieving stable and accurate identification of material types and compositions has become a key technical challenge for the development of intelligent industrial processes.

[0003] Currently, commonly used material identification methods in industrial settings include traditional visual recognition, laser ranging, infrared thermal imaging, and near-infrared spectral analysis. However, these technologies generally suffer from poor adaptability and low recognition accuracy under complex working conditions. For example, in high-dust environments, traditional visual recognition systems typically have a false judgment rate exceeding 40% due to image blurring and reduced contrast; laser ranging systems can have measurement errors exceeding 15cm due to the scattering effect of dust particles; single RGB or infrared cameras suffer severe image quality degradation under high-temperature radiation and humidity interference, making it difficult to extract effective features; furthermore, water films formed on material surfaces due to condensation significantly alter their optical properties, leading to distortion in near-infrared spectral analysis results and a decrease in recognition accuracy of over 60%.

[0004] In specific industrial applications, the steel industry has extremely high requirements for the accuracy of identifying the FeO content (45%-55%) in sintered ore, while hazardous waste treatment lines need to accurately determine the mixing ratio of metal slag and combustibles (error ≤3%). Existing technologies often fail to meet these key indicators. In addition, traditional identification systems lack a dynamic response mechanism to environmental changes and cannot adaptively adjust to sudden increases in dust, temperature and humidity fluctuations, etc., resulting in unstable identification performance and high system maintenance frequency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to overcome the existing defects and provide a material identification method in high-temperature, dusty, and condensing environments. This method integrates thermal infrared, millimeter-wave radar, and hyperspectral data to break through the identification bottleneck of a single mode in extreme environments. It solves the problem of difficult material identification in extreme environments such as high temperature, high dust, and high condensation, and has outstanding prospects for industry promotion. It can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0032] Preferably, in step S6, the optical window is provided with a 0.5MPa pulsed airflow nozzle and a 50W semiconductor heating film.

[0033] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are: it integrates thermal infrared, millimeter-wave radar, and hyperspectral data to construct a redundant sensing system, breaking through the identification bottleneck of a single mode in extreme environments; the three sensors work together: thermal infrared provides strong dust resistance and acquires temperature distribution; millimeter-wave radar penetrates dust and acquires the three-dimensional surface structure; and hyperspectral imaging provides material composition characteristics, combined with polarization technology to solve condensation interference; the softmax function dynamically adjusts sensor weights according to the signal-to-noise ratio, improving the reliability of the fusion results; combining polarization imaging with hyperspectral imaging for industrial material identification, and using Stokes vector separation to separate specular reflection and diffuse reflection, solves the spectral distortion problem caused by condensation on the material surface, demonstrating significant technological breakthroughs and solving the problem of difficult material identification in extreme environments such as high temperature, high dust, and high condensation, with outstanding prospects for industry promotion.
