The invention discloses a
conveyor belt surface
defect tracking method based on image
mask rapid matching, and relates to the field of automatic detection, which comprises the following steps: acquiring and
processing to obtain a standard image; performing instance segmentation on the standard image, identifying a defect area and extracting a defect
mask; establishing a defect
database, distributing an identification ID for the defect area, and storing the identification ID and the defect
mask in the defect
database; in the next period, the collected real-time image is corrected and synchronously matched, a first defect mask is obtained, the first defect mask and the stored defect masks are matched in sequence, and interaction ratio data and
structural similarity indexes between the defect masks are obtained through calculation; and when the interaction ratio data and the
structural similarity index are both greater than a first threshold value, judging that the
defect region belongs to the same defect, otherwise, judging that the
defect region is a new
defect region, and updating the defect
database. According to the invention, the defect detection speed and accuracy of the surface area of the
conveyor belt are improved, and repeated recording or missing detection is avoided.
