Specific embodiment
With reference to the description of accompanying drawing and the specific embodiment of the invention, the details of the present invention can be clearly understood.But, the specific embodiment of invention described herein is only used for explaining the purpose of the present invention, and it is limitation of the present invention that can not be understood as by any way.Under the teachings of the present invention, technical staff is contemplated that any possible deformation based on the present invention, and these are regarded as belonging to the scope of the present invention.
The invention discloses a kind of weld inspection method, it comprises the following steps:
Obtain weld image;
In the weld image for obtaining, the line direction of initial pictures is approximately perpendicular to weld seam, chooses a line every n rows and is processed, and chooses m rows altogether.Here m is the positive integer more than 8, and n is the integer more than or equal to 0;F (i, j) illustrates the grey scale pixel value of i-th point of jth row;
Row to choosing is smoothed;
First-order difference is done to the data after smoothing processing;
The position of k maximum pixel and the position of k minimum pixel is chosen in differentiated data, and wherein k is 2 to 4;
In to previous step, the minimizing position of one gray scale of searching in the neighborhood of each of 2k position, obtains 2k new position;
To 2k point on the row of all selections(Common 2k*m), it is Hao Er(Hough Transform)Change, obtains
ρ=Xcos θ+Ysin θ, wherein distance of the ρ origins to straight line, θ are the angle of the normal with X-axis of the straight line;
Specifically, in the present embodiment, after thin plate image is obtained, the upper left corner of image is defined as into origin, Y-direction is defined as downwards by origin;X-direction is defined as to the right by origin;Capable be oriented parallel to X-direction, row are oriented parallel to Y-direction.
For speed up processing, a line can be chosen every m rows and sampled along Y-direction.In the present embodiment, m can be the arbitrary number in 0 to 10.For example, a width gray level image has 262144 points if being sampled as the matrix of 512 512 points of X, and each point has a gray value, or is brightness value.Coordinate is followed the example of:, in the upper left corner of image, for level to the right, Y-direction is for vertically downward for X-direction for zero.Here f (i, j) has meant that the grey scale pixel value of i-th point of jth row.If a line being taken every 1 row, be exactly finally to obtain 256 rows, if taking a line every 3 rows, be exactly finally to obtain 128 rows.
The row that sampling is obtained is smoothed, smooth window is 3X1.
Wherein, it is smoothed in the row to choosing, the formula of smoothing processing is f (i)=(f (i-1)+f (i)+f (i+1))/3.
Data after smoothing processing are done with first-order difference, d (i, j)=f (i, j) f (i-1, j), d (i, j) is pixel (i here, j) place's gray scale difference score value, (i-1, j) is pixel (i respectively for f (i, j) and f, j) with (i-1, j) gray value at place.The position of k maximum pixel and the position of k minimum pixel is chosen in differentiated data.In the present embodiment, k=for any one positive integer in 2 to 4.
In to previous step, the minimizing position of one gray scale of searching in the neighborhood of each of 2k position, obtains 2k new position.Here the corresponding pixel count of maximal clearance width half that the selection treating excess syndrome border of the radius of neighbourhood is assumed.
To 2k point on the row of all selections(Common 2k*m)It is Hao Er(Hough Transform)ρ = Xcosθ + Ysinθ.Parameter ρ and θ uniquely determine straight line, the distance of ρ origins to straight line, and θ is the angle of the normal with X-axis of the straight line.
Maximum is searched in array after the conversion, the corresponding straight line of this maximum is exactly the weld seam straight line of our candidates(The corresponding physical region of image is probably in 11.2mm X 11.2mm, assume in the range of the whole image weld seam be straight line be to set up).
Above weld seam detection algorithm can not only reliably detect out gapless and closely spaced butt weld, and in the case where there is strong interference such as surface scratch, tack weld, testing result is also very reliable.
After weld seam detection, the identifying system that the present invention is adopted can also be verified to weld seam.

All rows of described image subset are added and obtain an array, do first-order difference to this array and the position of maximizing and minima, difference formula is D (i) =f(i)–f(i-1);
If the position of maximum and minima is located at the both sides of weld seam straight line to be verified, judge that position while welding to be verified is reliable;
If the position of maximum and minima is not located at the both sides of weld seam straight line to be verified, judge that position while welding to be verified is insecure.
During the weld gap width that the distance between maxima and minima position when gained is adjusted more than the need being previously set, the weld seam straight line of gained is adjusted with the distance between maxima and minima position.Specifically, in our actual experiments, if weld gap is more than 0.2mm, testing result just adjusts.Here the position of maximum corresponds to the left hand edge in gap, the right hand edge in the position correspondence gap of minima.The difference correspondence of maximum and minima position and gap width.In our experiment, the image of 512X512 corresponds to physical size 11.2mmX12.2mm, so 0.2mm corresponds to 9 pixels.The gap of 0.5mm then corresponds to 22 pixels.After the location gap for calculating maximum and minima pixel, it is possible to which according to above asking, image subset and image pixel are counter with the relation of physical size to extrapolate new value.
