Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of road engineering material testing and intelligent identification technology, specifically involving a rapid identification method for asphalt materials based on infrared spectroscopy. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and construction of asphalt materials, problems such as confusion regarding modifier types, inaccurate dosage, or batch mixing often occur, seriously affecting the quality of pavement engineering. Currently, common identification methods mainly include traditional chemical testing methods (such as solvent separation and chromatographic analysis), conventional physical performance tests (such as penetration and softening point), and manual judgment. However, these methods or processes are cumbersome, cannot be quickly implemented on-site, or cannot accurately identify the type and dosage of modifiers, and the results are easily affected by subjective factors. In recent years, while machine learning-based oil source identification technology has improved identification efficiency, it mainly focuses on differentiating asphalt oil sources, and still lacks systematic and effective solutions for modifier type identification, dosage range judgment, and result confidence assessment.

[0003] Previous studies have utilized infrared spectral features and pattern recognition to distinguish between asphalt from different oil sources. However, this method still has the following significant limitations: first, it cannot effectively identify whether modifiers have been added to the asphalt and their specific types (such as SBS, rubber powder, etc.); second, it lacks the ability to discriminate between different modifier dosage ranges; and third, it does not introduce confidence level output and uncertainty sample indication mechanisms, making it difficult to handle complex and variable field samples in practical engineering. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a field-applicable method that can quickly and accurately identify asphalt type and modification state, and has the ability to assess the reliability of the results.

[0046] This invention constructs a spectral feature vector through the above calculations, thereby completing the spectral feature extraction.

[0047] S3.3 Input the time-domain statistical feature vector and the spectral feature vector, perform feature fusion through weighted feature concatenation, and output the concatenated feature vector; The expression for weighted feature concatenation in this invention is: Here, || represents a horizontal splicing operation. For time-domain statistical feature vectors, For spectral eigenvectors, To pre-determine the weights of the time-domain statistical features, Preset spectral feature weights.

[0048] This invention, based on feature engineering experience and previous feature importance analysis, weights time-domain statistical features. (Default is 1.0), weights for spectral features (Because it is highly correlated with local peak characteristics) an enhancement weight is assigned (1.2 in this embodiment).

[0049] S3.4 Input the spliced ​​feature vector and the basic spectral feature vector, perform feature splicing, and output the complete feature vector; The complete feature vector expression output by this invention is as follows: In the formula, The total number of spectral data points. The base spectral feature vector is denoted by ||, which represents the horizontal splicing operation.

[0050] S4. Based on the complete feature vector, the dimensionality-reduced fingerprint feature vector is output through principal component analysis (PCA) calculation and principal component selection. In this embodiment, all principal components are first calculated using PCA, and a cumulative variance contribution rate threshold (95%) is set to understand the overall information content of the data; such as Figure 4As shown, the contribution of functional group regions to the infrared spectra of different types of asphalt is analyzed; for example... Figure 5 As shown, 123 principal components (K_cum=123) are required to reach this threshold. Subsequently, based on feature importance analysis or model performance optimization, this embodiment selects the top 25 principal components (K_used=25) with the highest discriminative power for subsequent modeling. The standardized data is projected onto these 25 principal components to obtain the dimensionality-reduced features. K is the preset principal component value; like Figure 6 As shown, the distribution of all samples in the fingerprint database after dimensionality reduction by principal component analysis is a scatter plot in the two-dimensional space formed by the first two principal components (PC1 and PC2). The sample points of different categories (such as base asphalt, SBS modified asphalt, and rubber powder modified asphalt) in the figure show obvious clustering trends, which intuitively verifies the ability of the features extracted by this method to distinguish different types of asphalt materials. Figure 7 The distribution of samples in the three-dimensional space formed by the first three principal components (PC1, PC2, and PC3) is further demonstrated. This three-dimensional view reveals the intrinsic structure of the data more fully, and it can be observed that categories that may overlap in the two-dimensional plane are separated in the third dimension, further confirming the discriminative power and reliability of the feature space constructed by our method.

[0051] S5. Construct a dataset based on the dimensionality-reduced fingerprint feature vector and label vector, divide the dataset into a training set, a validation set and a test set, input the training set and validation set into the classification model for training, and obtain the asphalt material recognition model; The classification model uses a random forest classifier. In this embodiment, the specific parameter settings for the random forest classifier include: 300 trees, a maximum depth of 20, a minimum number of leaf node samples of 5, a feature sampling ratio of the default value, and a random seed of 42. For a medium-sized dataset with 25-dimensional features and 500 samples, 300 trees can ensure sufficient diversity. Experiments show that when the number of trees is greater than 300, the accuracy improvement is less than 0.5%, but the training time increases significantly. Balancing performance and computational efficiency, this method is suitable for rapid on-site identification needs. S6. Input the test set into the asphalt material recognition model. Through the confidence decision module, perform threshold judgment. When the confidence level... If the condition is met, proceed to the retest suggestion module; otherwise, directly output the asphalt material category to complete the rapid asphalt material identification method. In this invention, the confidence decision module specifically calculates the maximum probability and its corresponding category, as shown in the following expression: in, This represents the probability vector output by the model, and its value ranges from [0, 1]. Execute threshold judgment: In this invention, the pre-set confidence threshold is 0.75. This value is determined based on cross-validation and engineering requirements: at a threshold of 0.75, the model accuracy is 96.2%, and it can directly provide reliable judgments for 82% of the samples. At the same time, low-confidence samples (18%) are classified as "uncertain / requires retesting," which ensures both identification accuracy and on-site testing efficiency, meeting engineering quality control requirements.

[0052] In this embodiment, ATR-FTIR was selected as the spectral acquisition device, and the wavenumber range was uniformly set to 4000–600 cm⁻¹. -1 Resolution 4 cm -1 The process involved 32 scans. The asphalt sample was fully bonded to the ATR crystal, and spectra were acquired under constant contact pressure. The acquired spectra were processed using: rubber band / polynomial baseline correction → Savitzky-Golay smoothing → vector normalization → first / second derivative differentiation. The first K principal components of the PCA were extracted as combined features, and peak intensity, peak area, and peak intensity ratio of key peak intervals were superimposed. If necessary, time-domain and frequency-domain fusion features of the spectrum were extracted. These features were input into a trained classification model, which outputs the material category and confidence score. If the confidence score was below a threshold, a prompt was made to repeat sampling three times for consistency assessment or to increase the number of scans for retesting. This embodiment is suitable for on-site acceptance and rapid sampling inspection at construction sites.

[0053] Example 2 (Admixture Warning): The research steps are the same as in Example 1; A mixed sample set is added to the fingerprint database to train a primary classification model that outputs the category and confidence score. A dual-threshold discrimination strategy is set: when the confidence score is higher than 0.85, the sample is judged as pure; when the confidence score is between 0.75 and 0.85, the Euclidean distance between the spectrum to be tested and the typical spectrum of the corresponding category is further calculated. If the distance exceeds the threshold of 0.15, "suspected mixing" is output. This method achieves an accuracy of 88% for detecting mixing ratios of 10% or higher.

[0054] In the above embodiments, the fingerprint database can be continuously and incrementally updated: when new source materials or new admixture systems appear, new models are trained on the new categories of materials according to the above-mentioned spectral collection and training rules, thereby continuously improving the generalization ability and engineering applicability of the recognition system.

[0055] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
