Abstract
Description
本揭露是關於接鋼桶辨識系統與方法,特別是用熱影像來判斷接鋼桶中的元件是否異常。The present disclosure relates to a system and method for identifying steel drums, especially using thermal images to determine whether the components in the steel drums are abnormal.
在煉鋼的製程中,轉爐倒出的鋼液會倒進接鋼桶,接鋼桶中有攪拌磚與出鋼孔。攪拌磚用以噴出氣體來攪拌鋼液。出鋼孔在倒入鋼液之前會設置填充砂,填充砂會在出鋼口凝結成塊以阻塞出鋼孔,使鋼液倒入時不會直接洩出。接鋼桶中的鋼液會進行精煉程序,待精煉程序結束到下一個製程(連鑄區)時會拉開底部滑板,利用鋼液壓力衝破凝結塊,完成出鋼。如果攪拌磚沒有正常通氣,則會嚴重影響精煉程序,在習知技術中是以氣壓/氣流計的方式進行判斷或是以目視方式判斷鋼液是否有被攪動。要判斷出鋼孔是否異常,則需要判斷鋼液是否順利流出,如果發生阻塞,則需要由人員進行吹氣將凝結塊熔穿以後才能進行出鋼。因此,上述關於攪拌磚與出鋼孔的辨識方式都仰賴人力且屬於被動方式,必須等到製程有錯誤時才能知道有異常,如何提出一種主動的辨識方式,為此領域技術人員所關心的議題。In the process of steelmaking, the molten steel poured from the converter will be poured into the receiving drum, and there are stirring bricks and tapping holes in the receiving drum. The stirring brick is used to spray gas to stir the molten steel. The tapping hole will be filled with sand before pouring the molten steel. The filling sand will condense into a block at the tapping hole to block the tapping hole, so that the molten steel will not leak out directly. The molten steel in the steel drum will undergo a refining process. When the refining process ends to the next process (continuous casting area), the bottom slide plate will be pulled open, and the liquid steel pressure will be used to break through the coagulation block to complete the tapping. If the stirring brick is not properly ventilated, it will seriously affect the refining process. In the prior art, it is judged by means of air pressure/air flow meter or whether the molten steel is agitated by visual means. To judge whether the tapping hole is abnormal, it is necessary to judge whether the molten steel flows out smoothly. Therefore, the above identification methods for mixing bricks and tapping holes all rely on manpower and are passive methods. It is necessary to wait until there is an error in the process to know that there is an abnormality. How to propose an active identification method is a topic of concern to those skilled in the art.
本發明的實施例提出一種接鋼桶辨識系統,包括接鋼桶、熱感測器與電腦系統。接鋼桶包括攪拌磚與出鋼孔。熱感測器用以拍攝接鋼桶以產生熱影像。電腦系統通訊連接至熱感測器以取得熱影像,判斷熱影像屬於第一溫度類別或第二溫度類別。若熱影像屬於第一溫度類別,將熱影像輸入至第一機器學習模型以偵測攪拌磚與出鋼孔,並判斷攪拌磚與出鋼孔是否異常。若熱影像屬於第二溫度類別,將熱影像輸入至第二機器學習模型以偵測攪拌磚與出鋼孔,並判斷攪拌磚與出鋼孔是否異常。An embodiment of the present invention provides a system for identifying a connected steel drum, which includes a connected steel drum, a thermal sensor and a computer system. The connecting drum includes mixing bricks and tapping holes. The thermal sensor is used to photograph the steel drum to generate thermal images. The computer system is communicatively connected to the thermal sensor to obtain thermal images, and determine whether the thermal images belong to the first temperature category or the second temperature category. If the thermal image belongs to the first temperature category, the thermal image is input to the first machine learning model to detect the stirring brick and the tapping hole, and determine whether the stirring brick and the tapping hole are abnormal. If the thermal image belongs to the second temperature category, the thermal image is input to the second machine learning model to detect the stirring brick and the tapping hole, and determine whether the stirring brick and the tapping hole are abnormal.
在一些實施例中,上述的第一溫度類別為高溫類別,第二溫度類別為低溫類別。In some embodiments, the above-mentioned first temperature category is a high temperature category, and the second temperature category is a low temperature category.
在一些實施例中,電腦系統還用以將熱影像中的每個像素分類為多個顏色的其中之一,這些顏色包括多個高溫顏色與多個低溫顏色。如果具有最多像素的顏色屬於高溫顏色,判斷熱影像屬於高溫類別。如果具有最多像素的顏色屬於低溫顏色,判斷熱影像屬於低溫類別。In some embodiments, the computer system is further configured to classify each pixel in the thermal image as one of a plurality of colors, including a plurality of high temperature colors and a plurality of low temperature colors. If the color with the most pixels belongs to the high temperature color, the thermal image is judged to be in the high temperature category. If the color with the most pixels is a low temperature color, the thermal image is judged to be in the low temperature category.
在一些實施例中,熱影像包括多個像素,每個像素對應至一溫度值,電腦系統還用以計算這些溫度值的平均值。如果平均值大於一臨界值,電腦系統用以判斷熱影像屬於高溫類別。如果平均值小於等於臨界值,電腦系統用以判斷熱影像屬於低溫類別。In some embodiments, the thermal image includes a plurality of pixels, each pixel corresponds to a temperature value, and the computer system is further used to calculate the average value of the temperature values. If the average value is greater than a critical value, the computer system determines that the thermal image belongs to the high temperature category. If the average value is less than or equal to the critical value, the computer system is used to determine that the thermal image belongs to the low temperature category.
在一些實施例中,出鋼孔與攪拌磚位於接鋼桶的底部。In some embodiments, the tapping holes and the stirring bricks are located at the bottom of the connecting drum.
以另一個角度來說,本發明的實施例提出一種接鋼桶辨識方法,由電腦系統執行。接鋼桶包括攪拌磚與出鋼孔,接鋼桶辨識方法包括:透過熱感測器拍攝接鋼桶以產生熱影像;判斷熱影像屬於第一溫度類別或第二溫度類別;若熱影像屬於第一溫度類別,將熱影像輸入至第一機器學習模型以偵測攪拌磚與出鋼孔,並判斷攪拌磚與出鋼孔是否異常;以及若熱影像屬於第二溫度類別,將熱影像輸入至第二機器學習模型以偵測攪拌磚與出鋼孔,並判斷攪拌磚與出鋼孔是否異常。From another perspective, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for identifying a steel drum, which is executed by a computer system.

關於本文中所使用之「第一」、「第二」等,並非特別指次序或順位的意思,其僅為了區別以相同技術用語描述的元件或操作。The terms "first", "second", etc. used in this document do not mean a particular order or order, but are only used to distinguish elements or operations described in the same technical terms.
圖1是根據一實施例繪示接鋼桶辨識系統的示意圖。請參照圖1,接鋼桶辨識系統100包括接鋼桶110、熱感測器120與電腦系統130。接鋼桶110包括攪拌磚111與出鋼孔112,攪拌磚111與出鋼孔112設置在接鋼桶110的底部。熱感測器120例如為紅外線攝影機,用以朝接鋼桶110的內部拍攝熱影像,熱影像包括多個像素,每個像素的顏色反應對應位置的溫度,熱感測器120也可以取得每個像素對應的溫度值。熱感測器120是通訊連接至電腦系統130,在此通訊連接可以用任意有線、無線或用互聯網的方式來達成,電腦系統130可以是工業電腦、雲端伺服器、個人電腦、或任意具有計算能力的電子裝置。熱感測器120所取得的熱影像以及溫度值會傳送至電腦系統130,電腦系統130會根據此熱影像來辨識攪拌磚111與出鋼孔112是否異常。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a steel drum identification system according to an embodiment. Referring to FIG. 1 , the
具體來說,首先判斷熱影像屬於哪一個溫度類別,在此實施例中設定了兩個溫度類別,分別是高溫類別與低溫類別。由於熱影像中每個像素的顏色都反應一個溫度值,因此可以根據像素的顏色來判斷熱影像屬於高溫類別或是低溫類別。在一些實施例中可以將熱影像中的每個像素分類為多個顏色的其中之一,這些顏色例如為紅色、橘色、黃色、綠色、青色(cyan)與藍色。這些顏色中有些是高溫顏色,有些是低溫顏色,例如紅色、橘色與黃色屬於高溫顏色,而綠色、青色與藍色屬於低溫顏色。在此實施例中熱影像中的每個像素都有三個灰階值,分別是紅色、藍色與綠色,而上述每個顏色都有預設的灰階值範圍,根據這些灰階值範圍可以將像素分類。在把像素分類完以後,如果有最多像素的顏色屬於高溫顏色,則判斷熱影像屬於高溫類別;如果有最多像素的顏色屬於低溫顏色,判斷熱影像屬於低溫類別。Specifically, it is first determined which temperature category the thermal image belongs to. In this embodiment, two temperature categories are set, namely, a high temperature category and a low temperature category. Since the color of each pixel in the thermal image reflects a temperature value, it can be judged whether the thermal image belongs to the high temperature category or the low temperature category according to the color of the pixel. In some embodiments, each pixel in the thermal image may be classified as one of a number of colors, such as red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, and blue. Some of these colors are high temperature colors and some are low temperature colors, such as red, orange and yellow are high temperature colors, while green, cyan and blue are low temperature colors. In this embodiment, each pixel in the thermal image has three grayscale values, namely red, blue and green, and each of the above-mentioned colors has a preset grayscale value range. Classify pixels. After classifying the pixels, if the color with the most pixels belongs to the high temperature color, the thermal image is judged to belong to the high temperature category; if the color with the most pixels belongs to the low temperature color, the thermal image is judged to belong to the low temperature category.
在一些實施例中,也可以根據熱影像對應的溫度值來判斷熱影像屬於哪一個溫度類別。舉例來說,可以將熱影像中所有像素所對應的溫度值平均起來成為一個平均值,如果此平均值大於一臨界值則判斷熱影像屬於高溫類別,反之如果平均值小於等於臨界值,則判斷熱影像屬於低溫類別。本領域具有通常知識者當可將上述內容稍加潤飾,本揭露並不限制如何判斷熱影像屬於哪一個溫度類別。此外,在上述的實施例中共設定兩個溫度類別,但在其他實施例中也可以設定更多溫度類別,本揭露並不在此限。In some embodiments, which temperature category the thermal image belongs to can also be determined according to the temperature value corresponding to the thermal image. For example, the temperature values corresponding to all the pixels in the thermal image can be averaged to form an average value. If the average value is greater than a threshold value, it is determined that the thermal image belongs to the high temperature category. On the contrary, if the average value is less than or equal to the threshold value, it is determined Thermal images fall into the low temperature category. Those with ordinary knowledge in the art can modify the above content slightly, but the present disclosure does not limit how to determine which temperature category the thermal image belongs to. In addition, two temperature categories are set in the above-mentioned embodiments, but more temperature categories can be set in other embodiments, which is not limited in the present disclosure.
如果熱影像屬於高溫類別,則將熱影像輸入至第一機器學習模型以偵測攪拌磚111與出鋼孔112的位置,並判斷攪拌磚111與出鋼孔112是否異常。如果熱影像屬於低溫類別,將熱影像輸入至第二機器學習模型以偵測攪拌磚111與出鋼孔112的位置,並判斷攪拌磚111與出鋼孔112是否異常。上述的第一機器學習模型與第二機器學習模型例如為卷積神經網路、支持向量機等等,本揭露並不在此限。值得注意的是,第一機器學習模型與第二機器學習模型是使用不同的訓練集(training set)來訓練,第一機器學習模型是根據高溫類別的熱影像來訓練,而第二機器學習模型是根據低溫類別的熱影像來訓練,而攪拌磚111與出鋼孔112的位置以及是否異常則是仰賴人工標記。圖2是根據一實施例繪示辨識結果的示意圖。請參照圖2,高溫類別影像210是輸入至第一機器學習模型以辨識出攪拌磚211、出鋼孔212、衝擊區213以及其他區域,而低溫類別影像220是輸入至第二機器學習模型以辨識出攪拌磚221、出鋼孔222、衝擊區223以及其他區域。在其他實施例中,上述的機器學習模型也可以辨識接鋼桶中的其他元件。If the thermal image belongs to the high temperature category, the thermal image is input to the first machine learning model to detect the positions of the
從圖2可以看出高溫類別影像210與低溫類別影像220的顏色基本上不相同。在習知技術中是以可見光來拍攝接鋼桶110,然而由於接鋼桶110在使用過後桶內會有許多殘鋼,這些殘鋼的分佈、紋理、形狀等特徵每次使用後都不一樣,此外填充砂丟擲的位置也可能不一樣,攪拌磚清洗的清潔度也可能不同,這些都會影響接鋼桶的影像,因此用可見光來辨識攪拌磚與出鋼孔的效果並不夠好。接鋼桶110如果使用完放置許久則溫度會下降,如果連續使用則在拍攝熱影像時溫度較高,在此實施例中對於不同的溫度採用不同的機器學習模型,可以提升準確度。實驗數據如以下表一所示。
從表一可以看出,當採用高低雙模型架構,在高溫時保留了單溫模型架構的準確度(accuracy),但在低溫時卻大幅度提升了準確度。對照實際生產狀態,低溫狀態的接鋼桶比例為67%,高溫狀態的接鋼桶比例為33%。這樣一來本揭露提出的高低溫雙模型架構對於出現次數較多的低溫接鋼桶可以得到更好的準確度。As can be seen from Table 1, when the high-low dual-model architecture is used, the accuracy of the single-temperature model architecture is retained at high temperature, but the accuracy is greatly improved at low temperature. Compared with the actual production state, the proportion of steel drums in low temperature state is 67%, and the proportion of steel drums in high temperature state is 33%. In this way, the high-low temperature dual-model architecture proposed in the present disclosure can achieve better accuracy for low-temperature steel drums that appear frequently.
圖3是根據一實施例繪示接鋼桶辨識方法的流程圖。請參照圖3,在步驟301,透過熱感測器拍攝接鋼桶以產生熱影像。在步驟302,判斷熱影像的溫度類別。如果熱影像屬於第一溫度類別,在步驟303,將熱影像輸入至第一機器學習模型以偵測攪拌磚與出鋼孔並判斷攪拌磚與出鋼孔是否異常。如果熱影像屬於第二溫度類別,在步驟304,熱影像輸入至第二機器學習模型以偵測攪拌磚與出鋼孔並判斷攪拌磚與出鋼孔是否異常。然而,圖3中各步驟已詳細說明如上,在此便不再贅述。值得注意的是,圖3中各步驟可以實作為多個程式碼或是電路,本發明並不在此限。此外,圖3的方法可以搭配以上實施例使用,也可以單獨使用。換言之,圖3的各步驟之間也可以加入其他的步驟。FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a method for identifying a steel drum according to an embodiment.

Anyone with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, The protection scope of the present invention shall be determined by the scope of the appended patent application.
