In the welding process, the penetration depth of the welding seam is an important parameter concerned by many scholars, so that the real-time accurate prediction and control of the penetration state and the penetration depth of the welding seam are always hot spots of research in the welding field. Much of the previous research has focused on detecting the penetration and penetration changes of welds under different welding conditions.
In the prediction of the penetration state of a weld, the visual sensing method is the most widely used detection method. In the prior art, a set of simple and flexible visual sensing system is provided, multiple frames of keyhole images on the back of a workpiece are collected under different welding conditions, the area and the inclination angle of a keyhole are extracted as characteristic parameters, and a particle swarm optimization and a self-adaptive network fuzzy inference system are combined to establish the relation between the keyhole characteristic and a weld penetration state.

The method also comprises a GTAW penetration state prediction method based on a data-driven method, wherein key characteristics of the surface of the molten pool are extracted by using a computer vision method, a database is established by performing tests under various welding conditions, the database is tested by using two monitoring machine learning methods such as linear regression and the like, and finally importance analysis of the characteristics of the surface of the molten pool is performed. But the calculation accuracy of the methods has higher promotion space.
In the aspect of weld penetration prediction, the visual expression of weld penetration in the welding process is the deepest part of the lower surface of a molten pool, so that many scholars at home and abroad can measure the penetration of the weld through the depth of the molten pool directly detected by various detection means, and the weld penetration can be divided into the following parts according to the difference of sensing technology: a molten pool oscillation method, an ultrasonic sensing method, an infrared sensing method, an X-ray method, and the like.
