Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer technology, particularly to the field of artificial intelligence technology, and especially to a method and apparatus for modal conversion of cement hydration image data. Background Technology
[0002] The key to studying the performance of cement concrete lies in its microstructure. Microstructure originates from the development of cement hydration, and direct characterization of cement hydration, especially non-destructive dynamic testing, has long been a focus of the industry, and also a technological bottleneck.
[0003] Among related technologies, focused ion beam electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) backscattering technology can obtain high-resolution microscopic images of the cement hydration process and accurately characterize the microstructure of cement. However, FIB-SEM is a destructive testing technique and is costly. The sample is polished and cut under the action of the ion beam, which makes it impossible to retain the time information of the hydration process. At the same time, the cutting range of the sample is small, resulting in the obtained data results lacking broad spatial representativeness and making it difficult to fully reflect the entire process of cement hydration.
[0004] Another related technique uses super-resolution methods to interpolate low-resolution X-ray computed tomography (X-CT) images, generating new pixels to improve the resolution of the X-CT images. However, X-CT images themselves have limitations, especially between substances with similar densities (e.g., high-density CSH versus calcium hydroxide and ettringite). Due to the physical limitations of X-ray attenuation, these substances are often difficult to distinguish effectively. Even with super-resolution algorithms to improve image resolution, it is still difficult to overcome this difficulty in distinguishing between substances, thus failing to accurately capture details in the hydration process. Traditional interpolation and reconstruction algorithms can only improve the pixel resolution of images to a certain extent, and cannot truly improve the spatial resolution of images, failing to accurately represent the details of hydration. Summary of the Invention
[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a modal conversion method for cement hydration image data, realizing the modal conversion of X-CT images of cement hydration microstructures to BSE images. This method effectively combines the temporal-spatial imaging advantages of X-CT with the high resolution and contrast advantages of BSE, thereby significantly improving the spatial resolution of hydration images, ensuring evolutionary imaging across the entire timescale, comprehensively reflecting the entire cement hydration process, and reducing costs.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] It should be noted that the modal conversion method and apparatus for cement hydration image data disclosed in this application can be used in the field of artificial intelligence technology, or in any field other than artificial intelligence technology. The application field of the modal conversion method and apparatus for cement hydration image data disclosed in this application is not limited.
[0022] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions provided in this application, the relevant content of the technical solutions will be explained below. Electron backscattering microscopy (BSE) can effectively characterize the microstructure of cement during the hydration process, acquiring high-contrast, high-resolution images and identifying features such as unhydrated minerals, high-density hydrated calcium silicate (CSH), low-density CSH, calcium hydroxide, ettringite, and pores in cement. However, BSE requires complex sample pretreatment, which inevitably interrupts the hydration process, resulting in a loss of time-scale evolution information. Furthermore, BSE is only applied to the sample surface and cannot acquire internal spatial feature information. On the other hand, X-ray computed tomography (X-CT) can reconstruct the three-dimensional structure of cement during the hydration process, achieving dynamic characterization of the hydration structure. Compared to BSE, X-CT can perform in-situ non-destructive testing, effectively characterizing the time-varying evolution of cement hydration structures. However, the imaging scale of X-CT is limited by the physical constraints of sample size and the X-ray source, which is difficult to overcome. This results in limitations on resolution due to sample size, as well as the inherent resolution limitations of X-CT technology itself. Nevertheless, due to the advantages of non-destructive detection and the low requirements for sample processing, X-CT remains an important technique for characterizing the four-dimensional (time + three-dimensional space) evolution of hydration structures.
[0023] In recent years, significant progress has been made in the application of artificial intelligence methods, especially deep learning technology, in the field of computer vision. By leveraging generative models and using X-CT data as a foundation, combined with homologous heterogeneous BSE image data as supervision, modality conversion from X-CT data to BSE images can be achieved. This combines the four-dimensional advantages of X-CT with the high contrast and high resolution advantages of BSE to decode and reconstruct the spatial evolution features of the cement hydration process.
[0024] This invention achieves four-dimensional imaging of cement hydration at the nano-micro-mesh level based on a diffusion-generative deep learning model. Specifically, firstly, the invention acquires X-CT and BSE images (these two types of images exhibit homologous heterogeneity) during the cement hydration process, and establishes spatial registration relationships between the two types of images through optimized experimental methods, constructing a training dataset. Secondly, a CT-BSE modal conversion generative model based on the diffusion-generative model is constructed. Finally, the model is trained using the established dataset to achieve modal conversion from X-CT images of the cement hydration microstructure to BSE images. This method effectively combines the temporal-spatial imaging advantages of X-CT with the high resolution and contrast advantages of BSE, thereby significantly improving the spatial resolution of hydration images (by more than 10 times), ensuring temporal evolution imaging, and effectively distinguishing hydration products with similar densities, thus achieving four-dimensional imaging of the cement hydration process.
[0025] The following uses a modal conversion device for cement hydration image data as an example to illustrate the implementation process of the modal conversion method for cement hydration image data provided in this embodiment of the invention. It is understood that the execution entity of the modal conversion method for cement hydration image data provided in this embodiment of the invention includes, but is not limited to, a modal conversion device for cement hydration image data.
[0026] Figure 1 A flowchart of a modal conversion method for cement hydration image data provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: Step 101: Prepare a hardened cement slurry sample.
[0027] In this embodiment of the invention, multiple sets of hardened cement paste samples at different ages were prepared; the prepared hardened cement paste samples were fixed with epoxy resin, cut into slices, and the surfaces were ground and polished to ensure that the surface of the hardened cement paste samples was flat and suitable for imaging.
[0028] Step 102: Obtain CT sample data and BSE sample data of cement hydration by scanning the hardened cement slurry sample.
[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, slices of the same hardened cement slurry sample are stacked and X-CT scanned to obtain three-dimensional imaging data of cement hydration, which is recorded as CT sample data; slices of the same hardened cement slurry sample are carbonized and BSE scanned to obtain BSE images of cement hydration, which is recorded as BSE sample data.
[0030] Step 103: Construct a sample dataset based on CT sample data and BSE sample data.
[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, the sample dataset includes a training dataset and a validation dataset.
[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, spatial registration and distortion correction are performed on the acquired CT sample data and BSE sample data to ensure accurate correspondence between the registered BSE data and X-CT data, thereby constructing the sample dataset required for modality conversion; the sample dataset is divided into training dataset and validation dataset according to a preset division ratio.
[0033] Step 104: Train the preset diffusion model using the training dataset to construct a modality transformation model.
[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, a deep learning diffusion model is trained using a training dataset, and hyperparameters are adjusted using a validation dataset to construct a CT-BSE modal conversion model, which serves as the core network for cement hydration image conversion. This modal conversion model is a deep learning model capable of effectively identifying super-resolution features of hydration images.
[0035] Furthermore, the finally trained modal transformation model is used to perform modal transformation on the cement hydration images in the constructed test set, converting them from X-CT images to BSE images. The specific process of constructing the test set is as follows: cement slurry is prepared, and the hydration evolution process of the cement slurry is characterized using X-CT technology. This dataset is used as the test set for subsequent analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis and isothermal calorimetry are used to verify the results of the test set, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the generated BSE images.
[0036] Step 105: Using the modal transformation model, perform modal transformation on the CT data to be transformed to generate BSE data.
[0037] Specifically, the CT data to be converted is input into the modal conversion model for BSE data modal conversion, and BSE data is output.
[0038] In the technical solution provided by this invention, a hardened cement slurry sample is prepared; the hardened cement slurry sample is scanned to obtain three-dimensional imaging sample data and electron microscope scanning sample data of cement hydration; a sample dataset is constructed based on the three-dimensional imaging sample data and electron microscope scanning sample data, the sample dataset including a training dataset; a preset diffusion model is trained using the training dataset to construct a modal conversion model; the modal conversion model is used to perform modal conversion on the three-dimensional imaging data to be converted, generating electron microscope scanning data, thus realizing the modal conversion of X-CT images of cement hydration microstructure to BSE images. This effectively combines the temporal-spatial imaging advantages of X-CT with the high resolution and contrast advantages of BSE, thereby significantly improving the spatial resolution of hydration images, ensuring evolution imaging across the entire time scale, comprehensively reflecting the entire process of cement hydration, and reducing costs; at the same time, it effectively distinguishes hydration products with similar densities, accurately captures details in the hydration process, and realizes four-dimensional imaging of the cement hydration process.
[0039] Figure 2 A flowchart of another modal conversion method for cement hydration image data provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes: Step 201: Prepare hardened cement slurry at different ages.
[0040] It is worth noting that the settings for different age groups can be configured according to actual needs, and this embodiment of the invention does not limit this.
[0041] As an alternative, a cement paste with a water-cement ratio of 0.5 was prepared by mixing ordinary silicate cement with water. After stirring for 1 minute, the paste was poured into a cylindrical mold with a diameter of 10 mm and a height of 100 mm to prepare 40 sets of cylindrical hardened cement paste samples with a diameter of 10 mm and a height of 100 mm. These samples were then treated at different ages (1 day, 3 days, 7 days, and 28 days). For each age, 10 sets of samples were selected and immersed in isopropanol solution to stop the hydration process, thus obtaining cement samples at ages of 1 day (d), 3 days, 7 days, and 28 days.
[0042] As an alternative, a cement paste with a water-cement ratio of 0.5 was prepared by mixing ordinary silicate cement with water. After stirring for 1 minute, the paste was poured into a cylindrical mold with a diameter of 10 mm and a height of 100 mm to prepare a total of 12 samples. The samples were divided into 4 groups of 3 samples each. After 1 day, the samples were removed from the mold and placed in a curing room with a humidity of 95% for curing. For the 4 groups of samples, they were immersed in isopropanol solution at 1 day, 3 days, 7 days and 28 days to terminate their hydration.
[0043] Step 202: Fix and slice the hardened cement slurry to obtain a hardened cement slurry sample.
[0044] As an alternative, a cuboid mold with a length and width of 12 mm and a height of 100 mm is selected. The hardened cement slurry is placed in the center of the mold, and epoxy resin is injected into it to cover the sample, reshaping it into a 12×12×100 mm cuboid composite material. 50 slices are cut into 2 mm thin slices per sample. The sample is then ground and polished to the standard for backscattered electron microscopy to obtain the hardened cement slurry sample.
[0045] Step 203: Use X-CT technology to scan and image the hardened cement slurry sample to generate CT sample data.
[0046] In this embodiment of the invention, the sliced hardened cement slurry samples are stacked along the Z-axis in their original order and scanned using a micron X-CT scanning device. The spatial reconstruction of the images is then performed to obtain the original volume data, namely, the three-dimensional imaging sample data, denoted as CT sample data.
[0047] As an alternative, the X-ray source tube voltage is 60 kV, the tube current is 50 μA, the voxel resolution of the X-CT scan is 4 μm³, the frame rate is 1080 FPS, the sliced hardened cement slurry samples are stacked along the Z-axis in the original order, and volume data at 1d, 3d, 7d, and 28d are obtained by scanning. The final CT sample data has a size of 2500 pixels × 2500 pixels × 2500 pixels, where the height in the Z-axis direction is obtained by stitching together the longitudinal data.
[0048] Step 204: Carbon spraying is performed on the hardened cement slurry sample after X-CT scanning, and the hardened cement slurry sample after carbon spraying is scanned by electron microscopy backscattering technology to generate BSE sample data.
[0049] In this embodiment of the invention, each slice of the hardened cement slurry sample after X-CT scanning is carbon-sprayed, placed in a scanning electron microscope, and subjected to backscatter scanning. By scanning point by point, a planar image of the entire hardened cement slurry sample is obtained, i.e., BSE sample data. Specifically, a complete planar image of the hardened cement slurry sample slice is obtained by sweep stitching.
[0050] As an optional approach, the BSE scanning parameters are set to a resolution of 40 nm / pixel. Alternatively, each slice of the hardened cement slurry sample is scanned at a resolution of 40 nm, acquiring BSE sample data for 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, and 28 days, specifically 50 images per sample. Simultaneously, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) is used to obtain phase composition information at different locations in the images to help distinguish different mineral phases within the cement sample.
[0051] Step 205: Establish a sample mapping relationship based on CT sample data and BSE sample data.
[0052] In this embodiment of the invention, the sample mapping relationship includes CT sample data and the corresponding BSE sample data.
[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, planes of different samples are distinguished based on the stacked gaps reconstructed from X-CT images. These planes correspond one-to-one with the planes of BSE images. Since CT sample data and BSE sample data are spatially homogeneous but heterogeneous, there is a natural mapping relationship between them, expressed as:
[0054] in, This represents the nonlinear relationship between resolution and imaging mode from BSE sample data to CT sample data, where η1 represents statistical noise, slice error, and geometric distortion in BSE sample data imaging.
[0055] Step 206: Using an image registration algorithm, spatial registration and distortion correction are performed on the CT sample data and the corresponding BSE sample data to generate paired sample data.
[0056] In this embodiment of the invention, geometric distortion is corrected first, particularly distortion caused by the cone-beam effect during X-CT scanning. Using an image registration algorithm, combined with the degrees of freedom of XY-plane magnification and rotation in the XYZ directions, a feature point-based scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm is used to extract feature points from the X-CT and BSE images. These feature points include, but are not limited to, sample edges, unhydrated particles, and large pores. These feature points are then used to estimate the projection transformation matrix or a three-dimensional rigid / affine transformation matrix, thereby correcting the geometric distortion. When a projection transformation is selected, the registration process is described by a 3×3 homography matrix H estimated from the feature points extracted by the SIFT algorithm, which satisfies the following in two-dimensional homogeneous coordinates: in, These are the coordinates of feature points in the CT sample data; These are the coordinates of feature points in the BSE sample data; H is the homography matrix.
[0057] By minimizing the feature point projection error and correcting the cone-beam distortion, It is eliminated or significantly reduced.
[0058] If rotation and scaling in the XYZ directions are considered simultaneously in three-dimensional space, a rigid or affine transformation matrix T can be used to satisfy the following in three-dimensional homogeneous coordinates: Where T includes rotation, translation, and scaling factors that are isotropic or anisotropic; These are the coordinates of feature points in the CT sample data; These are the coordinates of feature points in the BSE sample data.
[0059] It is worth noting that the rigid or affine transformation matrix T can be estimated based on the feature points extracted by the SIFT algorithm, or it can be obtained by expanding the homography matrix H by filling the Z-dimensional dimension.
[0060] After this transformation, the original mapping relationship becomes: This allows for precise alignment of X-CT and BSE images in the same coordinate system.
[0061] In this embodiment of the invention, since the data scanning pixels are large, in order to improve the efficiency of subsequent model training and save computing power, the CT sample data and BSE are cropped into multiple sub-maps of the same size to ensure that each sub-map corresponds one-to-one, thus obtaining multiple pairs of paired sample data.
[0062] As an alternative, the 2500-pixel × 2500-pixel × 2500-pixel CT sample data will be cropped into multiple 128-pixel × 128-pixel sub-patterns. The BSE sample data will also be cropped into 1280-pixel × 1280-pixel sub-patterns in the same way, ensuring that each sub-pattern corresponds one-to-one, resulting in multiple pairs of paired sample data.
[0063] Step 207: Construct a sample dataset based on multiple pairs of paired sample data.
[0064] Specifically, the set of multiple paired sample data is defined as the sample dataset.
[0065] Step 208: Divide the sample dataset into a training dataset and a validation dataset.
[0066] In this embodiment of the invention, paired sample data for a specified age group is determined as the training dataset, and paired sample data for other age groups is determined as the validation dataset. It is worth noting that the ratio of paired sample data between the training dataset and the validation dataset is 3:1.
[0067] As an alternative, paired sample data with ages of 1d, 3d, and 7d are used as the training dataset, and paired sample data with an age of 28d are used as the validation dataset.
[0068] The following specific example illustrates the process of constructing the training and validation datasets: First, the docking area of the CT stacked data was extracted, and the 2500 pixel × 2500 pixel × 25000 pixel images were optimized into 50 sets of 2500 pixel × 2500 pixel × 10 pixel images, corresponding to 50 BSE images.
[0069] Then, using an image registration algorithm, the CT images and BSE images are spatially registered. From each of the 50 image sets, one corresponding BSE image is extracted as an X-CT image to obtain a one-to-one correspondence between the CT and BSE images, establishing a mapping: CT images are cropped to 128 pixels × 128 pixels, and BSE images are cropped to 1280 pixels × 1280 pixels. Each sample constitutes 300 pairs / layer × 50 layers = 15,000 pairs of CT-BSE paired sample data. Therefore, 15,000 × 12 = 180,000 pairs of paired sample data can be obtained to form a sample dataset. Paired sample data of 1d, 3d, and 7d are used to construct the training dataset, and paired sample data of 28d are used to construct the validation dataset, forming a 3:1 data split.
[0070] Step 209: Perform data augmentation on the training dataset to generate the augmented training dataset.
[0071] In this embodiment of the invention, data augmentation processing includes, but is not limited to, rotation, region segmentation, random flipping, random grayscale adjustment, and random brightness adjustment. Specifically, rotation is random, with a rotation range between 0-180°; region segmentation is random, with a segmentation range of 0.4-1 times the original size; random flipping includes flipping the image top, bottom, left, and right; random grayscale adjustment ranges from 0.8-1.2 times the original grayscale; and random brightness adjustment ranges from 0.8-1.2 times the original brightness.
[0072] In this embodiment of the invention, the augmented training dataset contains a large amount of paired sample data, which improves the features of the dataset. In the subsequent model training process, the augmented training dataset is used for training. By optimizing the generative model, it can effectively generate corresponding BSE images from CT images, and the final modality conversion model is obtained through training, which helps improve the generalization ability of the model training.
[0073] Step 210: Using BSE sample data as a supervision signal, perform forward diffusion on the BSE sample data according to a preset time step and a preset noise signal to generate noise image data.
[0074] The diffusion generation model of this invention is used to generate corresponding BSE images from CT images, and generates BSE images under constraints based on CT image data, rather than unconditionally. The BSE images are used as supervision signals to train the model to generate the transformation from CT images to BSE images. The model design incorporates diffusion processes, generation processes, and CT image conditional generation processes.
[0075] In this embodiment of the invention, the forward diffusion process involves gradually adding noise to the image until the image becomes pure noise. If the input BSE sample data is... Its diffusion trajectory can be represented as:
[0076] For time step t, the current BSE sample data Based on the BSE sample data from the previous time step (t-1) and noise level β t The update will be performed in the following form:
[0077] in, β represents the current BSE sample data at time step t; t Noise level; This represents the BSE sample data from the previous time step (t-1); t The noise is noise, and the noise follows a standard normal distribution. t ~N(0,1).
[0078] During this process, the image gradually becomes blurred until it is eventually completely transformed into noise. The forward diffusion process follows a Markov chain, and its joint conditional probability can be expressed as:
[0079] in, For joint conditional probabilities, To generate the conditional probability distribution of BSE sample data for the current time step from the BSE sample data of the previous time step; β represents the current BSE sample data at time step t; t Noise level; I represents the BSE sample data from the previous time step (t-1), and I is the identity matrix.
[0080] This process ensures that noise is gradually added to the image, eventually bringing the image close to a state of completely random noise, resulting in noisy image data.
[0081] Step 211: According to the preset time step, reverse generate the noise signal based on the noise image data to obtain the predicted noise signal.
[0082] In this embodiment of the invention, the essence of the reverse generation process is that, given... In the case of predicting the noise generated from step t-1 to step t, that is: By removing the predicted noise, the BSE image from the previous time step is recovered.
[0083] It's worth noting that this process can be viewed as learning a mapping from noise to a data structure. However, without any constraints, this process becomes completely random, randomly generating BSE images.
[0084] Step 212: Using the CT sample data corresponding to the BSE sample data as constraints, generate conditions based on the predicted noise signal and noise image data to obtain the restored BSE data.
[0085] In this embodiment of the invention, in order to generate BSE sample data from CT sample data, it is necessary to process the CT sample data x CT As a conditional input, by incorporating CT sample data as a condition, the generation process is no longer completely random, but rather generates BSE sample data based on the features of the CT sample data. The conditional generation process can be represented as:
[0086] Through x t BSE With x CT The concatenated input model transforms the generation process from completely random noise input to a process with partial initial condition constraints, limiting the model to consider the CT sample data x at each step of the backdiffusion. CT The information in the sample is used to effectively generate BSE sample data from CT sample data, resulting in restored BSE data.
[0087] Step 213: Using the loss function, backpropagation is performed based on the loss result between the restored BSE data and the BSE sample data to iteratively update the model parameters and construct the modality transformation model.
[0088] In this embodiment of the invention, the dataset is trained for 500 epochs, the loss is calculated on the restored BSE data and BSE sample data, the loss curves of the model discriminator and generator are output using a visualization tool (TensorBoard), the optimal model parameters of each training round are retained and stored as a .pth file based on the loss of the validation dataset, and the optimal model is selected as the modality transformation model based on the final training results.
[0089] Furthermore, by adjusting the hyperparameters of the modality conversion model using a validation dataset, a modality conversion model that can effectively identify super-resolution features of hydration images was finally trained.
[0090] Furthermore, the modality transformation model is tested using the constructed test dataset to obtain BSE test data. Volume fractions are compared between the BSE test data and actual measurement data to generate model validation results. Specifically, the test set is input into the surrogate model for prediction, BSE images are acquired image by image, and reconstructed into a four-dimensional BSE image. The volume fractions and volumes of unhydrated particles, calcium hydroxide (CH), and ettringite (Aft) over time are calculated. The volume fraction is calculated based on the proportion of each substance's pixels to the total number of pixels; the volume is calculated based on the product of the number of pixels of each substance and a voxel, where a voxel is the size of the smallest unit volume.
[0091] The process of constructing the test set is as follows: cement particles are mixed with water in a certain proportion to prepare three samples. The first sample is used to obtain X-CT scan data at the initial moment of the hydration process and at multiple time points. As an optional approach, the time points include 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 7 days, 28 days, and 90 days, forming four-dimensional data (time dimension + X-CT three-dimensional data). The second sample is used to obtain isothermal calorimetric data to record the heat release during the hydration process. The third sample is subjected to thermogravimetric analysis to measure the change in the mass fraction of water of crystallization. The dynamic evolution process of cement hydration obtained by X-CT is used as the test set, while the latter two (isothermal calorimetric data and thermogravimetric analysis data) are used as indirect verification methods for the model's accuracy.
[0092] It is worth noting that the mixing ratio of cement particles and water can be set according to actual needs, and this embodiment of the invention does not limit this. As an optional solution, the water-cement ratio between cement particles and water is 0.5.
[0093] During the testing process: For unhydrated particles, calcium hydroxide (CH), and ettringite (Aft), the rate of change was calculated separately as an indicator to verify the reliability of the model: After segmentation, the BSE image output by the modality transformation model is used to obtain the number of voxels, and the volumes of unhydrated particles (UH), calcium hydroxide (CH), and ettringite (Aft) in the model output results within one day are obtained. These volumes are then divided by the total volume to obtain the volume fraction of the three components, i.e.: V UH (t), V CH (t) and V Aft (t). The number of voxels can be obtained using any image processing software.
[0094] Calculate its slope:
[0095] Among them, S UH (t), SCH (t) and S Aft (t) represents the slope of the volume fraction change of unhydrated particles, calcium hydroxide, and ettringite within 1 day; t is the hydration age, t≤24h; ΔV UH (t), △V CH (t) and △V Aft (t) represents the difference in volume fraction of unhydrated particles, calcium hydroxide, and ettringite at age t compared to the previous age.
[0096] By comparing the slope of the change in the volume fraction of unhydrated particles in the BSE test data within one day with the corresponding slope in the actual isothermal calorimetric curve, the accuracy of the transformation image of the modal transformation model is determined, thereby verifying the model effect and generating model verification results.
[0097] The overall hydration degree of the BSE test data within time t is compared with the corresponding overall hydration degree of the actual thermogravimetric results to determine the accuracy of the transformation image of the modal transformation model, thereby verifying the model effect and generating model verification results.
[0098] As an optional environment, the training environment for the modality transformation model is: Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04LTS; Model runtime environment: PyTorch + CUDA; Graphics card: NVIDIA 4090×4; Graphics card driver version: 520.56.06; CUDA version: 11.8; PyTorch version: Stable (1.13.1).
[0099] Step 214: Using the modal transformation model, perform modal transformation on the 3D imaging data to be transformed to generate BSE data.
[0100] Specifically, the 3D imaging data to be converted is input into the modal conversion model, which converts the CT image data into BSE image data and outputs the converted BSE data.
[0101] During the forward diffusion process, T noise levels are added to transform the image into a Gaussian noise distribution. T is chosen to be 2000. During training, a large T value does not pose a problem for the model, as the training process mainly involves the denoising model restoring the image from step t to step (t-1). However, during image prediction, T iterations are required to restore the low-resolution hydrolyzed image to a high-resolution one. Therefore, in this study, the inference process requires running the convolutional neural network model 2000 times, which significantly increases the time required to generate the hydrolyzed image.
[0102] The slow prediction speed of diffusion models is due to their dependence on Markov chains in the inference process. To address this issue, the model training primarily relies on marginal distributions. It does not directly depend on the joint distribution. During the inference process, Markov chain dependencies are broken by accelerating sampling, thereby improving prediction speed.
[0103] The specific prediction process is as follows:
[0104] in, In step 210, according to formula Reconstructed x0; The noise predicted by the convolutional neural network model at step t; It is the correlation coefficient of the Markov chain; β represents the proportion of data retained in step t-1. t-1 Let be the noise level at step t-1; This represents the proportion of data retained after continuous noise addition from the start to time t-1. These are the model's internal parameters; The BSE data is at time t-1; It is noise.
[0105] By reducing noise terms This can further accelerate the inference process and allow for direct prediction of states closer to the target distribution at each step, gradually reducing the number of iterations.

[0109] This invention utilizes deep learning to convert cement hydration CT images into BSE images, breaking through the limitations of traditional imaging characterization techniques and achieving four-dimensional characterization under high resolution and high contrast conditions. It can provide imaging process support for basic theoretical research on cement hydration and provide non-destructive testing optimization methods for the performance evolution and durability issues of cement-based materials.
