AI Technical Summary
The accuracy of detecting the morphology of banded carbide particles in bearing steel using existing technologies is low, which affects the accuracy of grading.
The YOLOv8 target detection model is used for initial detection. Combined with semantic segmentation, the widest band of carbides with boundaries and penetrating the image are selected for secondary magnification. The images are then binarized using the Otsu method, the YEN method, or the ISODATA iterative self-organizing data analysis algorithm. The degree of clustering and the contour area are calculated, and the images are rated according to the established rating rules.
It improves the accuracy of detecting the morphology of banded carbide particles in bearing steel, achieves an accuracy of over 90% for binarized carbide aggregation, enables automatic continuous processing and rating of batch images, shortens analysis time, and improves the objectivity and speed of rating.
