Description

Coarse-grained soil filler gradation automatic identification method based on image matching and application system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of coarse-grained soil roadbed filling and rolling construction and quality control thereof, in particular to a coarse-grained soil filler gradation automatic identification method based on image matching and an application system.
Background
The coarse-grained soil filler is used as an important component of a railway ballast bed and a roadbed and consists of coarse and fine particles with different sizes, the particle size range of the particles is large, the characteristic difference of the coarse and fine particles is large, the coarse and fine particles are generally in a single-particle structure, small particles fill gaps formed by large particles, the coarse-grained soil with good gradation has higher compactness than coarse-grained soil with poor gradation, and the coarse-grained soil is easier to compact during filling and rolling construction. The grading of coarse-grained soil greatly influences the service performances such as strength, stability, deformability, durability and the like of the railway track bed and the roadbed. Along with the rapid development of railway transportation industry, the aspects of construction, operation management, maintenance and repair of railway infrastructure tend to be more and more intelligent, grading is used as an important physical index of coarse-grained soil filler and is mainly determined by a manual or mechanical screening method for a long time, and along with the gradual introduction of an intelligent rolling technology and equipment in the filling process of a railway roadbed, how to identify the grading of the coarse-grained soil filler before and after rolling in real time, rapidly, intelligently, efficiently and accurately and predict the modulus, damping and other mechanical parameters of the coarse-grained soil filler, so that the real-time, intelligent and accurate evaluation of the rolling quality during filling construction is the key of the intelligent rolling and filling technology.
Currently, the grading of coarse-grained soil is mainly determined by a screening method, the coarse-grained soil needing to be graded is screened according to the size and the combination of sieve pores given by specifications, and the grading curve of the coarse-grained soil is determined according to the mass ratio of particles left on each sieve pore. Although the method is mature in technology, wide in application and simple in operation, the method is time-consuming and low in efficiency, coarse soil needs to be sampled and sieved, and the abrasion and crushing of coarse particles and the deformation of sieve pores in the sieving process can change the original grading of the coarse soil. During manual or mechanical screening, the filler is screened one by one according to the size sequence of the screen holes, the filler is required to continuously vibrate on the screen surface in the horizontal and vertical directions simultaneously, and filler particles smaller than the size of the screen holes pass through the screen holes until the mass of the filler particles passing through the screen holes is less than 0.1 percent of the residual mass on the screen surface within 1 min. When the sieve shaker is used for sieving, after the sieve shaker is used for sieving, the sieve is supplemented manually one by one, the sieved particles are merged into the next sieve and sieved together with the sample in the next sieve, and the sieving is sequentially carried out until all the sieves are sieved. It should be confirmed that the mass passing through the sieve holes within 1min is actually less than 0.1% of the residue on the sieve, the sieve residue on each sieve is weighed to the nearest 0.1% of the total mass, the percent of the net residue on the basis of the total mass is nearest 0.1%, the cumulative percent of the net residue is nearest 0.1%, and the percent passing through each sieve is nearest 0.1%. Grading is plotted against the cumulative percent pass of each mesh to determine the grading of the coarse soil. The screening method mainly has the following disadvantages:
(1) the conventional screening test needs to collect soil samples at different positions on the site for testing, can destroy the integrity and working state of the soil body on the site, is time-consuming and labor-consuming, and therefore cannot realize real-time, quick, efficient and intelligent identification of coarse-grained soil gradation during intelligent rolling of the railway roadbed.
(2) The screening test has long time consumption and low efficiency, and can not realize intelligent, automatic and quick identification and analysis.
(3) During the screening process, due to the vibration of the vibrating screen, part of coarse particles are broken, and the accuracy of the result is affected.
(4) The sieve mesh can take place certain degree deformation in long-time use, causes the experimental error.
With the continuous development of the technology, some filler gradation determination methods based on digital image recognition also appear. An image analysis method represented by Wipfrag software is generally used for measuring the particle size of the crushed stone, and finally, a grading curve is directly output. The main reason for the low precision is that the existence of more fine-grained soil causes certain interference to the analysis of coarse-grained soil. The ImageJ software can also perform image segmentation, and then calculate the particle size of each particle by using Excel, but the accuracy of the result is low, mainly because the image segmentation has large errors. In addition, the grading curve describes the relationship between the particle size and the particle mass, and the image analysis obtains the direct relationship between the particle size or the two-dimensional area of the particle and the number of the particles, and how to realize the conversion between the two relationships still needs to be solved.
The digital image analysis method is highly dependent on the precision of image processing algorithms (such as denoising, segmentation and the like), is easily influenced by complex and variable conditions (such as particle color, particle overlapping, particle shielding, illumination conditions, particle shadow, water-containing state and the like) of field filling, and still has the technical problem of universality and precision. Therefore, in order to avoid the problems, the patent innovatively provides an image matching method independent of an image processing algorithm, and automatic identification of coarse-grained soil filler gradation is achieved.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with the following detailed description. It should be understood that the description is intended to be exemplary only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Moreover, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the concepts of the present invention.
The invention relates to an automatic identification method of coarse-grained soil filler gradation based on image matching, which is used for evaluating the distribution (namely gradation) of the size and the mass of all particles of coarse-grained soil filler. Grading is depicted in fig. 4 as a typical grading graph with the abscissa being the mesh size (or particle size) and the ordinate being the mass fraction of particles passing through (or having a particle size smaller than) each mesh. With reference to fig. 1, the automatic grading identification method specifically includes the following steps:
s1, collecting images of the coarse-grained soil filler with various grain size ranges, forming coarse-grained soil grain identification templates with various grain sizes, and constructing a template library.
Collecting images of coarse-grained soil fillers with different grades, and shooting the coarse-grained soil fillers with the same grade from different angles; images of the coarse-grained soil fillers with various gradations are shot according to different angles respectively, and an image library containing the coarse-grained soil fillers with various gradations and different angles is formed. Different parts of the same image may also be divided into a plurality of sub-images. Each picture (including the original picture and the segmented picture) contains reference information (e.g., a ruler, etc.) that can be used to calibrate the actual size of the picture area, identifying the true particle size of the particles. And (3) storing the real gradation of the coarse-grained soil filler and the three-dimensional size of the particles obtained by a screening test in advance before photographing, and verifying whether the model identification result is accurate or not in the follow-up process. In addition, images of coarse-grained soil fillers at different angles can also be obtained in a rotating manner.
The template used for image matching is manually generated by using an open source Gimp program, and after multiple tests, a circular template with circular symmetry characteristics is finally selected to eliminate directional influence; the circular templates collectively constitute source data in the template library.
S2, collecting filler images containing various grades, matching each filler image with the coarse-grained soil particle identification template in the template library to obtain the grain size, distribution and shape category of coarse-grained soil particles in the filler images, drawing a grading curve, and storing filler information and the grades into the grading library;
and shooting images of the coarse-grained soil fillers with various gradations according to different angles to form a coarse-grained soil filler image library containing various gradations and different angles. Different parts of the same image may also be divided into a plurality of sub-images. Each picture, including the original picture as well as the segmented picture, contains reference information, such as a ruler, that can be used to calibrate the actual size of the picture area.
Each identifiable particle in the image must be marked as a "single whole particle" or a "non-single whole particle" or "indeterminate". Once labeling is complete, the sample images required for subsequent machine learning model training can be simulated by rotation to take into account the orientation of the particles. And constructing an ML (maximum likelihood) model by adopting a machine learning technology, training the ML model through the marked image, automatically identifying all matched particle images into single complete particles or non-single complete particles by the trained ML model, and carrying out shape classification.
With reference to fig. 2, the specific steps of the template matching algorithm include:
s21, detecting the optimal matching position of the filler image and each coarse-grained soil particle recognition template in the template library by adopting an OpenCV function, matching, deleting the matching area from the image of the filler on the construction site and storing the matching area for other purposes if the matching is successful, and recording the position of the matching area and the particle size of the matched coarse-grained soil particles; further, S21 includes matching each particle size particle recognition template with each coarse-grained soil particle image in the filler image after rotating each particle size particle recognition template by each angle, and selecting the template with the highest matching degree as the matching result.
Further, S21 includes acquiring more enlarged template areas for matching if matching is successful, determining whether the acquired area overlaps with an earlier additionally stored area, and if so, removing the saved overlapping portion and classifying it as a larger area;
further, S21 includes if the extracted region has obvious deformity, i.e. the region can be judged by naked eyes not to be a single complete particle, keeping the removed region, deleting the part in the larger region, and optimally filling the region by using the open source Gimp program. Since the malformation of the particles indicates that the small particles are not part of the large particles but are a complete particle, the small particles removed in the upper operation are retained, while the incomplete part of the large particles is completed by the Gimp program.
The template matching process is performed by OpenCV functions. Each time the function is used, it detects the best matching position in the current image with the template, and returns a best matching position information corresponding to the template (for extracting the template from the template library) and a "matching quality" value. The "match quality" measures the degree of similarity between the particle in the current image and the matched template particle.
If the template match is successful, the matching regions (i.e., the individual particles that may match successfully) must be copied into the document and deleted in the image. Since if it is not deleted it will be found again in the next round of matching and the match repeated, the calculation will repeat this step forever.
This method does not find particles with a significantly smaller pixel count than the template pixel count, which limits the size of the smallest particle that can be found at a given image resolution.
Further, S21 is preceded by constructing a first neural network model using machine learning techniques to detect and exclude non-single particles or incompletely visible particles. The method comprises the specific steps of firstly establishing a machine learning first neural network model, firstly manually classifying and marking single particle images matched by a template as single complete particles or non-single complete particles, and then establishing a sample library required by a training model, wherein the trained first neural network model can be used for screening all matched particle images, so that the particle images of the non-single complete particles are ignored.
S22 judging whether each filler image is enlarged to the maximum size, if yes, entering the step S23, and if not, enlarging the filler image and returning to the step S21;
the filler image is gradually enlarged using the OpenCV function, and step S21 is repeated for each enlarged filler image until the filler image size is enlarged to the maximum possible size.
The enlarged maximum size of the filler image may specify a maximum value for the image (i.e., the maximum size of the coarse soil particles in the image) that may vary from input filler image to input filler image.
Enlarging the filler image ensures that identifiable particles in the image (i.e. larger than the minimum particle size as mentioned in 3) determined by resolution are all identified, i.e. any template size that is enlarged above the maximum enlargement size will not match any filler particles.
S23, dividing the matched coarse-grained soil particle images into different shape types according to the shapes;
further, S23 includes constructing a second neural network model using machine learning techniques, and classifying the filler particles matched by the template into different shape classes, where the shape classes are a classification method for describing and characterizing the appearance shape of the particles; the filler particles identified by template matching are arranged according to particle size, and the oversize screen size (i.e. the maximum screen size that the particles cannot pass through) of the particles is estimated according to particle size and shape classification. Firstly, the matched particles are artificially marked for the second time in the training process of the second neural network model, namely the shape categories of the particles are marked, such as circles, triangles, rectangles, slender shapes and the like, so that the trained second neural network model can accurately classify the shapes of the particles.
S24, counting the two-dimensional size of the single particle, estimating the third-dimensional size of the single particle according to the shape class, obtaining the volume of the single particle, and obtaining the mass of the single particle. The size of each particle is assigned a size according to the size of the matching template found, resulting in a two-dimensional size of the individual particles, the specific shape of the matched particles not being considered here. And estimating the size of the third dimension of the single particle according to the shape class to obtain the volume of the single particle. It should be noted that for long fine particles, this size will be the major axis length. When the particles are virtually screened, the size of the screen hole is assumed to be the third size of the particles, and the size is the short axis length of the major axis ellipse of the ellipsoid (the two major radii of the ellipsoid are both the diameter of a circle). (this procedure is a virtual sieving of the particles in order to estimate the mesh size and thus the particle size of the corresponding filler particles).
The volume of the particles is further calculated based on the estimated oversize screen size of the particles, and the mass of the particles is then determined based on the specific gravity of the particulate material (a typical value such as 2.67 can be used without measured data), and the grading curve (or size distribution) of all particles in the filler image is obtained.
The volume of the particles is calculated as a hexahedral volume, and the specific gravity of the particles is assigned to an accurately measured value, and if there is no actual measurement value, the mass is calculated assuming a representative value of the filler (for example, 2.7), and the gradation distribution is obtained.
Comparing the calculated particle size and particle size distribution with the known particle size and particle size distribution in the filler image area, and verifying the accuracy of an image matching algorithm; the algorithm and ML model parameters are further adjusted and optimized, if necessary, until the error between the calculated and measured grading is within acceptable tolerances.
S25, calculating the size and mass distribution of all the particles, and outputting grading results and grading curves.
Further, the unit programs described in S21 to S25 and the trained first and second neural network models are packaged to form a packaged program which can be operated independently for field test. The packaged procedure can be directly utilized on the roadbed filling and rolling construction site, and the filler grading result can be output by inputting the filler images before and after compaction into the packaged procedure.
S3 packaging the grading library and executing the program of S2; uniformly packaging the filler images into programs capable of running independently for processing the filler images collected on the construction site.
S4, collecting the filling image of the roadbed filling and rolling construction site, matching the filling image with the particle recognition template in the template library, processing the filling image by the trained packaging program to obtain the particle size and the distribution of coarse soil particles in the filling image of the construction site, and calculating and outputting the grading corresponding to the filling image of the construction site. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
s41, collecting a filler image of a roadbed filling and rolling construction site; using a first neural network model to eliminate non-single particles or incompletely visible particles in a filler image of a roadbed at a construction site;
and S42, obtaining the particle size, distribution, shape type, grading result and grading curve of coarse soil particles in the filler image of the construction site after the processing of the packaging program, and outputting the grading result and the grading curve.
