Attached Figure Description

[0014] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the drawings used in the following description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0015] Figure 1This is a schematic flowchart of the intelligent surface inspection method for medium-thick plates provided by the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the division of the steel plate detection area provided by the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0016] To make the content of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0017] Figure 1 The flowchart illustrates the intelligent surface detection method for medium-thick plates provided in this application embodiment. The method specifically includes the following steps: Step S101: Acquire image data of the steel plate to be inspected.

[0018] Specifically, an image acquisition device is fixedly installed in the steel plate inspection area. When the steel plate to be inspected passes through the inspection area, the image acquisition device can acquire images of the steel plate and transmit the acquired image data to the inspection model.

[0019] Step S102: Divide the acquired steel plate image data into a first detection area and a second detection area.

[0020] Specifically, the probability of defects occurring varies at different locations on a steel plate. Therefore, locations on the steel plate prone to defects are designated as the first inspection area, while locations less prone to defects are designated as the second inspection area.

[0021] See Figure 2 For coiled steel sheets, the first inspection area includes the second-head and second-tail areas of the coiled steel sheet, as well as the edge areas on both sides of the steel sheet; the second inspection area includes the middle area of ​​the coiled steel sheet. For flat-rolled steel sheets, the first inspection area includes the head and tail areas of the flat-rolled steel sheet, as well as the edge areas on both sides of the steel sheet; the second inspection area also includes the middle area of ​​the flat-rolled steel sheet. For abnormal steel sheets, all areas are included in the first inspection area.

[0022] Step S103: Pre-set the first detection accuracy and the second detection accuracy of the detection model, and use the first detection accuracy to perform defect detection on the image data of the first detection area, and use the second detection accuracy to perform defect detection on the second detection area.

[0023] Specifically, for the first detection area that is prone to defects, the control detection model is used to perform detection with the first detection accuracy; for the second detection area that is not prone to defects, the control detection model is used to perform detection with the second detection accuracy.

[0024] It should be noted that the accuracy of the first detection is higher than that of the second detection.

[0025] In this embodiment, the detection model used is the Pangu AI detection model.

[0026] Step S104: Output the defect detection image data of the steel plate to be inspected and mark the detected defects.

[0027] Specifically, the defects output by the detection model are visualized in the steel plate image, and an "updated" label is added to the image to distinguish between detected and undetected steel plates.

[0028] In addition, this application embodiment also provides an intelligent surface inspection system for medium and thick plates, the system including: a data acquisition module, a region division module, a defect detection module and a data output module.

[0029] Specifically, the data acquisition module is used to acquire image data of the steel plate to be inspected.

[0030] The region segmentation module is used to divide the acquired steel plate image data into a first detection region and a second detection region.

[0031] The defect detection module is used to pre-set the first detection accuracy and the second detection accuracy of the detection model, and to perform defect detection on the image data of the first detection area using the first detection accuracy, and to perform defect detection on the second detection area using the second detection accuracy.

[0032] It should be noted that the defect detection module includes the Pangu AI detection model for detecting defects in steel plates.

[0033] The data output module is used to output defect detection image data of the steel plate to be inspected and to mark the detected defects.

[0034] Therefore, the technical solution of this application divides the inspection area of ​​the steel plate, uses different inspection accuracies to inspect different inspection areas, and enhances the identification accuracy for key areas with high defect incidence, thus ensuring the accuracy of defect identification.

[0035] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention may have other implementation methods; all technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope claimed by the present invention.
