The aluminum profile has strict requirements on size and mechanical property, and the related fields have strict requirements on flatness and straightness. An important link in the manufacturing process of the aluminum profile is extrusion molding, and the extruded aluminum profile needs to be cooled by air cooling, mist cooling or water cooling. After the traction and the rapid cooling of the tractor, the aluminum profile is generally bent and twisted in different degrees, and uneven stress is also generated in the cross section direction. Therefore, in the post-processing zone in the extrusion production of the aluminum profiles, the aluminum profiles need to be stretch-straightened to eliminate the bending and twisting of the aluminum profiles and also eliminate the non-uniformity of the stress of the aluminum profiles in the cross-sectional direction. Therefore, the straightening process is also a non-negligible process.
At present, the domestic stretching and straightening technology and equipment are behind developed countries, although semi-automation is realized, the key processes are still finished manually, for example, the stretching distance of stretching and straightening still depends on manual experience, namely the stretching distance is stretched by feeling, and quantitative control technology is not realized. The main reason is that the section bar is stretched and straightened, the length of the section bar is firstly known according to the stretching amount, and the length of the section bar is obtained due to the complex working condition and certain difficulty. Such as
The length range of the section bar is large (15-25m), the precision and the measuring range of a common displacement sensor cannot be considered, and the use scene is not very suitable.
The common camera is adopted for shooting and measuring in real time, so that the background is complex and the image processing is troublesome; and the profile length range is large, a plurality of cameras are needed, and the cost is greatly increased.
In addition, the aluminum profile is soft, and an axial bending phenomenon exists, so that certain influence is brought to the measurement accuracy.

when the proximity switch 9 detects that the sectional material to be straightened is carried to the material loading position of the cooling bed, the industrial personal computer starts to control the second mobile depth camera and the first mobile depth camera to acquire and shoot images near two ends of the sectional material to be straightened in real time; the profile end part on one side of the first mobile depth camera can be always in the visual field of the lens, the profile end part can be directly detected, the position of the end part on the other side of the profile needs to be detected along with the movement of the trolley on one side of the second mobile depth camera, and the trolley stops moving when the end part is detected.
The second mobile depth camera is arranged on one side of the second mobile stretching trolley close to the first mobile depth camera, the second mobile depth camera moves along with the second mobile stretching trolley 2, the first mobile depth camera is positioned right above the end part of the section bar to be straightened, in the moving process of the second moving stretching trolley, the moving distance X6 between the second moving stretching trolley and the second reference position is acquired in real time through the absolute encoder, the industrial personal computer is communicated with the PLC immediately, the data of the absolute encoder 4, namely X6, is read, and the distance X1 between the end part of the section bar to be straightened, which is close to one end of the second movable stretching trolley, and the second movable stretching trolley is obtained through the analysis and the processing of the image collected and shot by the second movable depth camera, acquiring a distance X3 between one end part of the section to be straightened, which is close to the first movable stretching trolley, and the first movable stretching trolley by a first movable depth camera in real time and carrying out image analysis processing on the acquired and shot images;
and finally, obtaining the length L of the section bar to be straightened through formula processing as follows:
L=X0-X2-X3-X1-X5-X6。
the second moving depth camera and the first moving depth camera are used for shooting a plurality of images of the end part, close to one end of the second moving depth camera and the first moving depth camera, of the section to be straightened, the second moving depth camera and the first moving depth camera are used for shooting images downwards, the images comprise RGB (red, green and blue) frames, the images shot by the first moving depth camera are subjected to image analysis processing to position the end part of the section to be straightened, the second moving depth camera moves along with a second moving stretching trolley, the second moving depth camera moves along the length direction of the section to be straightened, shoots the images in real time while moving along the track in the direction parallel to the length direction of the section to be straightened, and carries out real-time image analysis processing to track and position the end part of the section to be straightened.
Traversing the depth frame pixels of the image shot by the first mobile depth camera after background removal and interference removal, finding out the pixel coordinates of the end part of the profile to be straightened, and converting the pixel coordinates into camera coordinates by using the distortion parameters and conversion parameters of the RGB lens to complete positioning.
The image analysis processing process specifically comprises the following steps:
firstly, carrying out coordinate alignment on a depth frame and an RGB frame;
secondly, identifying and positioning the profile to be straightened which is firstly extruded on the cooling bed, intercepting the depth frame which comprises the profile to be straightened and the areas on the two sides of the profile to be straightened which are parallel to the direction of the profile to be straightened, and acquiring a detection area corresponding to the profile to be straightened so as to avoid the interference of other profiles to be straightened;
then, background removal is carried out by utilizing the depth frame information, and then interference is removed;
and finally, identifying and positioning the end part of the sectional material to be straightened, and converting the pixel coordinates of the end part of the sectional material to be straightened in the image into the coordinates of the camera taking the camera as a space origin by using the distortion parameters and the coordinate conversion parameters corresponding to RGB inside the camera.
When the image shot by the second mobile depth camera is subjected to background removal, the method specifically comprises the following steps:
in a depth frame of the second mobile depth camera, only pixels with pixel values within a range of (D-delta, D + beta) are reserved, wherein D represents the distance between a camera lens and a cooling bed surface, delta is a parameter value larger than the maximum thickness of the section bar to be straightened, and beta is a section bar droop reference threshold to be straightened, and the threshold is set by considering the hanging droop of the end part of the section bar to be straightened, so that the end part of the section bar to be straightened can be detected; the depth frame is binarized accordingly, and the result of binarization is dot-multiplied with the RGB frame to remove most of the background.
When the image shot by the first mobile depth camera is subjected to background removal, the method specifically comprises the following steps:
invalid pixels in a detection area of a depth frame are removed, namely, a multiple N is preset, pixel values of pixels with original pixel values of 0 are changed into values which are larger than the distance D between a camera lens and a cold bed surface by traversing the pixels, and therefore the minimum value in the valid pixel values is highlighted.
Traversing the pixels again, and finding out the minimum value S of the effective pixel values;
traversing the pixels again, screening and reserving the pixels with the pixel values being (S, S + delta + beta), wherein the pixel values of the rest pixels are all changed into 0, delta is a parameter value larger than the maximum thickness of the section bar to be straightened, and beta is a droop reference threshold of the section bar to be straightened, and the droop reference threshold is a threshold set by considering the end part of the section bar to be straightened hanging and drooping, so that the end part of the section bar to be straightened can be detected; the depth frame is binarized accordingly and the result of binarization is multiplied by the RGB frame points (pixels corresponding to coordinate positions) to remove most of the background.
The interference elimination is to eliminate the interference of the random-in object and the noise interference by a method of eliminating a small connected domain and a method of Gaussian filtering, mean filtering and the like when the interference elimination is to be carried out on the depth frame.
The interference removal of the second mobile depth camera specifically comprises:
removing small-area connected regions, namely, firstly performing image segmentation, removing a part of small-area connected regions in an image by using geometrical characteristics (area), and simultaneously obtaining the external rectangles of each residual connected region to obtain the pixel width of the y-direction connected regions parallel to the length direction of the sectional material to be straightened;
and then converting the pixel width into a camera coordinate through the distortion parameter and the coordinate conversion parameter of the RGB frame to obtain the actual width of a communication area, and removing the communication area with the actual width of the communication area smaller than epsilon times of the width of the cooling bed, wherein epsilon is a safety factor to ensure that the interference can be completely removed, and the value of epsilon can be between (1.5 and 2).
In this way, the interference caused by the cooling bed when the section bar is not in the visual field of the second mobile depth camera can be removed aiming at the second mobile depth camera.
If there is still a communication zone left after the above operation, i.e. indicating that the profile 6 is already in view, it is very likely that the cooling bed 5 and the profile 6 form a large communication zone, which is detrimental to the reading of the pixel coordinates of the end position of the profile 6. Therefore, the pixel width of the x direction of the connected domain is detected firstly, the side length of the circumscribed rectangle in the x direction can be calculated, and if the pixel width is smaller than the width of the x direction of the A region, only the section bar in the visual field is indicated. If the number of the aluminum profile 6 and the number of the cooling bed 5 are equal, the interference of the cooling bed 5 needs to be removed in the visual field at the same time, and the aluminum profile 6 is silvery white, and the cooling bed surface is dark gray, so the RGB graph processed to be the last in the claim 9 is converted into a gray graph and subjected to histogram equalization, and the binarization is performed by adopting the maximum inter-class variance method, and the interference of the cooling bed 5 can be removed according to the brightness characteristic at this time.
The image shot by the second mobile depth camera is subjected to image analysis, processing, tracking and positioning in the end part of the profile to be straightened:
if the sectional material to be straightened does not exist in the detection area of the image at first, namely the pixels are all 0, the second movable stretching trolley is controlled to move on the track along the direction (the-y direction in figure 2) which is parallel to the sectional material to be straightened and is close to the rear end of the first movable depth camera until the pixel point of the sectional material to be straightened appears in the detection area, then the second movable stretching trolley is controlled to stop moving, the pixels in the image shot by the second movable depth camera are traversed, the pixel coordinate of the end part of the sectional material to be straightened is obtained and converted into the camera coordinate, and therefore the position of the end part of the sectional material to be straightened relative to the depth camera is obtained, and positioning is completed;
if the profile to be straightened is present in the detection region of the initial image, but the end of the profile to be straightened coincides with the boundary of the detection region of the depth frame (fig. 3), this means that the profile to be straightened has spread over the entire monitoring region in the y-direction,
and controlling the second movable stretching trolley to move on the track along the direction (the + y direction in the figure 2) parallel to the profile to be aligned and the rear end of the first movable depth camera in principle until the end of the profile to be aligned is positioned in the boundary of the detection area, which represents that the end of the profile to be aligned is positioned in the detection area, controlling the second movable stretching trolley to stop moving, starting traversing pixels in an image shot by the second movable depth camera, obtaining the pixel coordinates of the end of the profile to be aligned and converting the pixel coordinates into camera coordinates, thereby obtaining the position of the end of the profile to be aligned relative to the depth camera and completing the positioning.
The two depth cameras can detect the pixel coordinates of the end parts at the two sides in the camera vision field, and the pixel coordinates are converted into the camera coordinates through the distortion parameters and the coordinate conversion parameters of the cameras, so that the position of the end part of the profile relative to the cameras is obtained. Each dimension will form a closed loop so that the length of the profile can be obtained by distance calculation.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
the invention can preliminarily measure the original length of the profile, is a key step of the design of an automatic production line for stretching and straightening the profile, can quickly measure the length of the profile to be straightened in real time, and can quantitatively measure the stretching degree of stretching and straightening.
