Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for detecting surface damage on conveyor belts in dusty and low-light environments based on adaptive spatial state perception, belonging to the field of underground coal mine inspection technology. Background Technology

[0002] In underground coal mines, conveyor belts are crucial production equipment, and their surfaces often develop defects due to long-term operation. Traditional inspection methods are limited by underground environmental conditions, such as insufficient light and dust interference, making it difficult to clearly detect and identify surface defects on conveyor belts.

[0003] Currently, vision-based detection methods, such as conventional edge detection operators, image enhancement methods, and general deep learning models, are widely used due to their non-contact and high-efficiency advantages. However, existing technologies still cannot effectively solve the problem of defect detection in the complex environment of underground coal mines, especially under conditions of low illumination, strong reflection, and dust interference. This is mainly manifested in the following ways: (1) The existing Retinex algorithm mistakenly identifies highlights as texture features or coal dust as background, and cannot achieve physical decoupling and noise reduction; (2) Motion texture interference and computational redundancy: the belt has constant unidirectional high-speed motion characteristics and the background texture is simple; (3) The existing algorithm model adopts an omnidirectional or four-directional scanning mechanism, which not only has a large amount of computation, but also ignores the longitudinal continuity and transverse abrupt flow characteristics of the belt, resulting in insufficient capture ability of longitudinal tear; (4) Large aspect ratio defects are missed: longitudinal tears and scratches usually present an extremely slender shape. The existing loss metric has a sharp decrease in sensitivity when dealing with small offsets of slender targets, resulting in inaccurate positioning. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method for detecting surface damage on conveyor belts in dusty and low-light environments based on adaptive spatial state perception. This method can effectively enhance subtle textures, accurately extract defect features, and adapt to complex dynamic working conditions, thereby improving the robustness and accuracy of defect detection in complex environments such as low illumination, dust dispersion, and localized strong light reflection in coal mines.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: a method for detecting surface damage of conveyor belts in a dusty and low-light environment based on adaptive spatial state perception, comprising the following steps: S1. During the operation of the underground belt conveyor in the mine, dynamic scene image data is collected synchronously by the camera and transmitted to the information processing module; S2. The information processing module enhances the acquired image; the information processing module initially decomposes the image into illumination and reflection parts, converts the image to RGB and HSV color spaces, extracts channel information to form priors through adaptive feature selection method; identifies and mitigates the residuals between illumination and reflection parts, uses super-resolution enhancement to restore hidden details; and supervises the estimation of residuals between parts at different scales based on a multi-scale network architecture. S3. Extract dynamic target feature information of belt conveyor from image enhancement results. Obtain relative or absolute position information and deep features from dynamic scene images based on self-attention and cross-attention. Use axis attention to obtain multi-scale crack features. Reduce computational complexity and improve real-time performance of the model through parameter sharing strategy and axis attention. S4. Based on the feature distribution of the image, the image is represented as a spatial state model, forming a set of state transition equations, structure-aware state fusion equations, and observation equations. S5. Based on the spatial state model and structural perception equations of the image, use the improved YOLO model to identify cracks in the real-time acquired image data. S6. Repeat steps S2 to S5 to obtain the relative position information and confidence level of crack identification for each image, compare it with the detection threshold, and finally determine the real-time crack situation of the underground belt conveyor.

[0006] Furthermore, the camera and information processing module in step S1 are integrated into the visual inspection device, and the camera's field of view covers the dynamic scene below the visual inspection device; the information processing module receives image data from the camera in real time and performs image enhancement, feature extraction and crack recognition online.

Using the diffuse reflection assumption, the reflectivity component is optimized, and the specular suppression loss function is: ; ; in, Represents the SiLU function. This represents the theoretical maximum reflectivity threshold of the belt material. It serves as an indicator mask for highlight areas, determined by the brightness of the input image; The grayscale intensity of the input image; The threshold for highlight determination is set. This step is not a general image enhancement, but a physical constraint mechanism designed for the low diffuse reflectance characteristics of rubber material. It forces the network to strip the high-frequency and high-brightness signals generated by water stains to the illumination component, thereby preventing water light from being falsely detected as cracks. Ultimately, lighting a priori Represented as: ; In the formula, This represents the convolution operation.
