Detailed Description
The invention will be further described with reference to examples of embodiments shown in the drawings.
As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the present embodiment discloses a method for measuring a position of a ladle based on machine vision, which is used for providing a method for accurately positioning the ladle without contact, and the measuring method comprises the following steps:
and step S1, acquiring a current position image of the ladle in the preset detection area.
And step S2, obtaining the current position information of the ladle based on the collected current position image.
In this embodiment, the current position image and the standard position image respectively include a lifting lug image of the ladle and a laser line image which is preset and acquired simultaneously. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, a laser emitting device which emits a laser line towards the ladle is arranged in a preset detection area, and particularly, the laser line is emitted towards a lifting lug of the ladle, so that after the ladle car enters the preset detection area, the laser emitting device is synchronously started in the process of acquiring the current position image, and the acquired current position image not only contains the lifting lug image of the ladle, but also contains the laser line image. In this embodiment, the laser emission direction of the laser emission device is parallel to the moving direction of the ladle. Like this, through introducing the laser line, utilize the characteristic information that produces between its and the lug of ladle to realize the judgement and the acquisition to the lug position of ladle, specifically, as shown in fig. 4, when the laser line launches the lug on, the layering can take place for the laser line, and when the laser line did not launch the lug on, the laser line can not take place the layering and keep a continuous straight line, so, through looking for the pixel point that the laser line took place the layering then can further turn into the current position information of lug.
Based on the above concept, step S2 specifically includes:
and step S21, preprocessing the acquired current position image. The specific pretreatment process comprises the following steps:
firstly, carrying out gray level processing on an acquired current position image, and carrying out weighted average on RGB three components according to the following formula to obtain a gray level image:
f(i,j)=0.30R(i,j)+0.59G(i,j)+0.11B(i,j)
wherein R is an image red channel, G is an image green channel, B is an image blue channel, M < i, j < N, and M and N are image horizontal and vertical resolution sizes.
And secondly, filtering the image after the gray processing to reduce the interference of noise points.
And finally, carrying out threshold processing on the filtered image to obtain a corresponding binary gray level image. The specific threshold processing process is as follows: setting a global threshold value T, and dividing the data of the image into two parts by using T: pixel groups larger than T and pixel groups smaller than T; and setting the pixel value of the pixel group larger than T as white or black, and setting the pixel value of the pixel group smaller than T as black or white, thereby obtaining the corresponding binary gray level image.
And step S22, judging the image information obtained after preprocessing according to the characteristic information generated between the laser line and the lifting lug to obtain the current position information of the ladle. The characteristic information is that the laser line is layered when being emitted to the lifting lug. That is to say, the characteristics of the ladle lifting lug are extracted under the assistance of the laser line, and the current position information of the ladle lifting lug is obtained.
And step S3, obtaining a position adjustment quantity according to the current position information and the standard position image of the ladle.
In this embodiment, the standard position image of the ladle refers to a position image acquired for the ladle when the ladle car moves to an accurate position corresponding to the ladle cover, and is used as a reference for the position of the ladle later, and alignment with the ladle cover can be achieved only when the ladle moves to the position.
As a specific implementation structure of the measuring method of this embodiment, an industrial camera and a linear laser emitter are installed below the steel refining position and at a position perpendicular to the running direction of the ladle car, and the industrial camera and the laser emitter are in the same vertical direction, and the industrial camera acquires an image of the ladle in the visual field range. After the installation is finished, calibrating image information acquired by the industrial camera, determining a refining position, converting the refining position into a pixel position in the image, and determining a standard position image of the ladle. The specific image calibration is realized as follows: after the industrial camera is installed, the ladle car is manually driven to a ladle refining position, a laser transmitter is started, at the moment, ladle car image information is collected, when the ladle is determined to be in the refining position according to the image information, a ladle lifting lug is converted into a pixel position on the image and an actual length distance value represented by each pixel, the pixel position is set as a standard position for reference, and the difference value of the length distance between the ladle and the refining position is measured by taking the position as the standard position.
After the current position information (namely the actual position information) of the ladle lifting lug is obtained, the distance between the current position information of the ladle lifting lug and a refining bit pixel point in a standard position image is further calculated and obtained, and the distance is converted into an actual distance value, namely the position adjustment quantity of the ladle.
And step S4, adjusting the ladle to move to a standard position, namely a refining position according to the position adjustment quantity, so that the ladle is accurately aligned with the ladle cover of the refining position.
According to the measuring method of the embodiment, the position of the steel ladle is positioned based on a machine vision mode, namely, an industrial camera is installed to acquire the current position image of the steel ladle, a non-contact auxiliary feature is added into a machine vision system, the steel ladle and a laser line printed on the steel ladle are subjected to image acquisition and feature extraction to obtain a characteristic area of a lifting lug of the steel ladle, the position of the steel ladle is acquired after data conversion, and the function of automatically aligning the steel ladle to a cover of a refined steel ladle is completed.
The main problem of positioning treatment by adopting a visual mode is the extraction of the edge characteristics of the steel ladle. However, because of the harsh field environment, the dust is large, and the number of the ladles is large, the manual auxiliary characteristic (such as painting color paint and the like) is difficult to realize in the steel field according to the prior art. And to this technological problem, the measurement method of this embodiment develops a new way, proposes to increase ladle auxiliary feature with contactless mode, just beat a word red laser line at the ladle lug height, for complicated background like this, just can carry out feature recognition to the ladle lug, and then extract the positional information of ladle lug to confirm the position of ladle, its core just lies in and carries out the feature extraction most in a word laser line image on the ladle, analyzes out ladle lug position, then turns into the positional data of ladle.
