Research on CNN-based intelligent recognition method for negative images of weld defects

Abstract

The existing technology of automatic classification and recognition of welding negative images by computer is difficult to achieve a multiple classification defect recognition while maintaining a high recognition accuracy, and the developed automatic recognition model of negative image defect cannot meet the actual needs of the field. Therefore, the convolutional neural network (CNN)-based intelligent recognition algorithm for negative image of weld defects is proposed, and a B/S (Browser/Server) architecture of weld defect feature image database combined with CNN is established subsequently, which converted from the existing CNN by the migration learning method. It makes full use of the negative big data and simplifies the algorithm development process, so that the recognition algorithm has a better generalization ability and the training algorithm accuracy of 97.18% achieved after training. The results of the comparison experiments with traditional recognition algorithms show that the CNN-based intelligent recognition algorithm for defective weld negatives has an accuracy of 92.31% for dichotomous defects, which is significantly better than the traditional recognition algorithm, the established recognition algorithm effectively improving the recognition accuracy and achieving multi-category defect recognition. At the same time, the CNN-based defect recognition method was established by combining the image segmentation algorithm and the defect intelligent recognition algorithm, which was applied to the actual negative images in the field with good results, further verifying the feasibility of CNN-based intelligent recognition algorithm in the field of defect recognition of welding negative images.
