An industrial camera to which the present invention is applied will be briefly described below.
Industrial cameras have been widely used as core components of machine vision, and are different from ordinary cameras in that the industrial cameras have higher performance and more reliable stability. In particular, the compact structure of industrial cameras gives them the advantages of being sturdy, not fragile and easy to install, and of having a long continuous working time, and of being usable in poor environments, which are not comparable to ordinary cameras. Further, the frame rate of the industrial camera is far higher than that of a common camera, ten to hundreds of pictures can be shot per second, the common camera can only shoot 2-3 images, and the difference between the two images is large. In addition, the industrial camera outputs naked data, and the spectral range of the naked data is often wider, so that the image information shot by the industrial camera is more suitable for being processed by a high-quality image processing algorithm. In contrast, pictures taken by a common camera have a spectral range suitable only for human vision, and the pictures are usually subjected to MGPEG compression, which has poor image quality and is therefore not conducive to further analysis.

Preferably, a photoelectric sensor may be mounted at a side of the rail and in front of the industrial camera in a direction of belt advance so as to sense the moving pig carcass in advance. Further, the photoelectric sensor can be composed of a light source, an optical circuit and a photoelectric element. In the work, when the pig carcass passes through, photoelectric sensor passes through the light signal change of optical circuit perception pig carcass to light signal with this change passes through photoelectric element and converts the signal of telecommunication into, and then passes through the wire with this signal of telecommunication and convey industry camera, thereby trigger industry camera work, and then shoot the pig carcass.
In one embodiment, the apparatus of the present invention may further comprise an industrial personal computer 207 electrically connected to the industrial camera for analyzing and processing the image information of the pig carcass acquired by the industrial camera. Specifically, the industrial personal computer may be installed at a lower portion of the conveyor belt guide, and electrically connected with the industrial camera through a twisted pair. In addition, the industrial personal computer can be also provided with various external interfaces, for example, the interfaces can comprise interfaces such as USB, HDMI, VGA, RJ-45 and the like, so that the communication with external equipment can be realized through the interfaces. In an application scene, the industrial personal computer can be externally connected with a display screen so as to observe and control the cutting process of the device for the pig carcass through the display screen.
Further, the above industrial personal computer may analyze and process the pig carcass image information collected by the industrial camera, and may include: determining the posterior segment cutting position of the pig carcass by the analysis processing and/or determining the anterior segment cutting position of the pig carcass by the analysis processing. Specifically, on one hand, in the process of determining the rear section cutting position of the pig carcass, the industrial personal computer firstly calculates the actual length of the pig carcass; then, determining the positions of inflection points on the left side and the right side of the pig carcass; and finally, determining the back-end cutting position of the pig carcass based on the actual length of the pig carcass, the inflection point positions of the left side and the right side of the pig carcass and the plane calibration conversion coefficient of the industrial camera. On the other hand, in the process of determining the front section cutting position of the pig carcass, the industrial personal computer firstly uses a pre-labeled pig carcass quality data set to carry out learning training on the deep learning algorithm model; and then, acquiring the front section cutting position information of the pig carcass based on a deep learning algorithm model after learning training.
In one embodiment, the tool controller 208 of the present invention may comprise: a PLC ("programmable logic controller") module, a mechanical structure, and a servo motor. Further, the PLC module can be electrically connected with the industrial personal computer and is used for receiving front-section cutting position information and rear-section cutting position information which are sent by the industrial personal computer and positioned by the industrial personal computer, so that the cutting tool is controlled to move according to the cutting position information. The mechanical structure is connected with the PLC module and is used for moving the cutter to the front and rear section cutting positions under the control of the PLC module. The servo motor is electrically connected with the PLC module and operates according to the instructions of the PLC module so as to drive the cutter to execute the cutting operation on the pig carcass along the front and rear cutting positions.
In another embodiment, the apparatus of the present invention may further comprise a connecting shaft 210 fixedly connected to the cutter 209.

Fig. 3 is a flow diagram 300 illustrating the working principle of an apparatus for automatically cutting a hog carcass according to an embodiment of the present invention. The working principle of the device of the utility model is described in detail below with reference to fig. 2 and 3.
As shown in fig. 3, when the apparatus for automatically cutting a pig carcass according to the present invention is activated, the process 300 starts at step S301. At this step, the pig carcass horizontal pose moves with the line. It will be appreciated that the apparatus of the utility model is located in the middle of a pig slaughtering line. After the live pigs are subjected to the processes of pre-slaughter quarantine, cleaning, stunning, licking and bloodletting, scalding and unhairing, head and hoof unloading, chamber opening and cleaning, carcass inspection and processing and the like, the pig carcasses are placed on a transmission belt and are transmitted to the position of the photoelectric sensor of the utility model along with the transmission belt. Next, the flow 300 executes step S302. At this step, the photosensor triggers the industrial camera. Specifically, photoelectric sensor senses the light signal of the pig carcass that conveys to convert this light signal into the signal of telecommunication, and then send this signal of telecommunication to industrial camera, thereby trigger industrial camera work.
Next, after the industrial camera receives the trigger signal transmitted from the photosensor, the flow 300 proceeds to step S303. At this step, the industrial camera performs image acquisition. Specifically, the industrial camera performs clear image acquisition on the pig carcass under the irradiation of the light source, and can photograph or make a video recording of the pig carcass in different directions, so as to acquire an image or image information of the pig carcass. It should be noted that, before image acquisition, the industrial camera first performs a solution (or linear calibration/one-dimensional calibration) of the scaling coefficient of the physical size/number of pixels. Specifically, under the condition that the relative position of the camera and the target object is fixed, the camera is used for collecting the image of the target object, the actual length of the target object corresponding to each pixel value in the image can be obtained through calculation processing, and the conversion coefficient is defined as K. Based on this, the actual size of the target, that is, the target image pixel value K, can be obtained.
Subsequently, the industrial camera sends the image or video information of the pig carcass acquired by the industrial camera to the industrial personal computer, and based on this, the process 300 executes step S304. At this step, the industrial personal computer performs a threshold segmentation operation on the image acquisition information so as to acquire contour information of the pig carcass. The threshold segmentation is a common image segmentation technology based on regions, has the characteristics of simple realization, small calculated amount, stable and reliable performance and the like, and is based on the principle that image pixel points are divided into a plurality of classes by setting different characteristic thresholds, and then the outline boundary of the pig carcass on a conveyor belt is extracted. Further, at step S305, the industrial personal computer calculates the actual length of the pig carcass according to the correlation algorithm. Specifically, the industrial personal computer obtains the minimum vertical rectangle of the pig carcass boundary through a boundingRec () algorithm, and the length of the rectangle is multiplied by an industrial camera hand-eye calibration conversion coefficient K to obtain the actual length H of the pig carcass.
After obtaining the profile information of the pig carcass, the process 300 executes step S306. At this step, the front leg side inflection point and the pre-opening edge cutting position positioning detection are performed. Specifically, the industrial personal computer extracts the pig carcass edge information through a findContours () algorithm and stores the edge information in an ordered pixel point coordinate set. And then, traversing left and right boundary pixel points of the binary image of the pig carcass respectively, and storing pixel coordinates of row-column coordinate information of edge positions of pixel points on two sides of the pig carcass from 0 to 255 in a set A (front leg side) and a set B (backfat side) respectively.
Then, continuously taking 3 points with interval step length i in the set A and the set B respectively (wherein the interval step length i can be freely changed according to the characteristic concave-convex degree): ck+i、Ck、Ck-iThe corresponding coordinates are respectively M (X)k+i,Yk+i)、N(Xk,Yk)、G(Xk-i,Yk-i) In which C iskThe extreme value at the inflection point of the point is: | actan ((Y)k+i-Yk)/(Xk+i-Xk))/actan((Yk-Yk-i)/(Xk-Xk-i) ) |. Furthermore, according to the above calculation method, extreme values at each point on the left and right sides of the pig carcass can be respectively obtained, wherein the maximum extreme point is the inflection point position, and the maximum extreme point is respectively defined as NA(Xk,Yk)、 NB(Xk,Yk)。
After step S306 is performed, the flow 300 proceeds to step S307. At this step, the industrial personal computer positions the carcass front and rear segment dividing positions. In particular, under the condition that the relative position of the industrial camera and the target object is fixed, the actual length H of the carcasses in the same batch has little difference,therefore, the difference between the rear cutting position and the ordinate of the inflection point on both sides of the carcass can be calculated, and the difference is defined as an approximate fixed deviation Y. Further, the actual carcass length H, the pixel size conversion coefficient K, and the inflection point positions N on the left and right sides of the carcass calculated based on the above step S305 are calculatedA(Xk,Yk)、NB(Xk,Yk) And a fixed deviation Y, and the actual cutting position of the rear section can be calculated to be [ N ]B(Yk)-NA(Yk)+Y]*K。
Further, for the positioning of the front-end segmentation position, the deep learning algorithm model can be trained and learned by using a pre-labeled carcass quality data set based on the deep learning algorithm model. Specifically, in the training and learning process, the segmentation position between the third rib and the fourth rib which are positioned to be visible to the naked eye is obtained by acquiring the information characteristics of the ribs in the chest of the pig carcass and marking the acquired seam information characteristics. It should be noted that the algorithm here may be implemented by using a deep learning algorithm, but is not limited to this method.
After the pig carcass front and rear segment splitting positions are located, the process 300 proceeds to step S308 and step S309. At these two steps, first, the industrial personal computer sends the division position information to the tool controller. Next, the tool is moved from the origin to be collinear with the split position under the control of the tool controller. Specifically, a PLC module in the cutter controller receives front-section cutting position information and rear-section cutting position information sent by the industrial personal computer. And then, according to the position information, the PLC controls the mechanical structure to move, and further drives the cutter connected with the mechanical structure to move from the original position to a position collinear with the segmentation position.
Finally, the process 300 ends at step S310. At this step, the cutter performs a cutting operation under the drive of the servo motor. Specifically, when the cutter is moved to a position collinear with the dividing position, the PLC transmits a start cutting instruction to the servo motor. After receiving the instruction, the servo motor starts to rotate and drives the disc sawtooth cutter connected with the shaft of the servo motor to rotate, so that the pig carcass cutting operation is completed. Further, after the cutting operation is completed, the disc-shaped cutter is restored and moved to the original position by the mechanical structure under the control of the PLC so as to wait for the next cutting operation to be performed.
Based on the above description, it can be seen that the device for automatically cutting a pig carcass according to the present invention can accurately and quickly locate the cutting position by training and learning a plurality of detection models during the process of determining the cutting position of the pig carcass. Meanwhile, the cutting device can realize automation of the cutting process, so that the defects of inaccurate manual alignment position, easy fatigue of workers and increased labor cost in the traditional cutting mode are overcome. In addition, the cutting device also has the advantages of simple design, easy realization, lower cost and the like.
