Laser Cleaning Surface Roughness Estimation Using Enhanced GLCM Feature and IPSO-SVR

Abstract

In order to evaluate the effect of laser cleaning, a new method of workpiece surface roughness estimation is proposed. First, a Cartesian robot and visible-light camera are used to collect a large number of surface images of a workpiece after laser cleaning. Second, various features including the Tamura coarseness, Alexnet abstract depth, single blind/referenceless image spatial quality evaluator (BRISQUE), and enhanced gray level co-occurrence matrix (EGLCM) are computed from the images above. Third, the improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) is used to improve the training parameters of support vector regression (SVR). The learning factor of SVR adopts the strategy of dynamic nonlinear asynchronous adaptive adjustment to improve its optimization-processing ability. Finally, both the image features and the IPSO-SVR are considered for the surface roughness estimation. Extensive experiment results show that the accuracy of the IPSO-SVR surface roughness estimation model can reach 92.0%.
