基于点云分割的输送带散料堆积角与粒径分布测量方法

Measurement for Angle of Repose and Particle Size Distribution of Bulk Materials on Conveyor Belts Based on Point Cloud Segmentation

  • 摘要: 输送带散料堆积角与粒径分布是保障带式输送机连续运输安全与效率的核心参数。针对输送带复杂槽形与垂曲形变导致点云分割困难,以及颗粒遮挡粘连影响测量精度等问题,本文提出一种基于点云分割的输送带散料堆积角与粒径分布测量方法。为实现散料高保真分割,本文构建双三次多项式曲面模型,通过加权最小二乘法自适应拟合输送带真实形变曲面,精准实现纯净散料点云分割。在此基础上,采用点云等距切片结合霍夫变换提取轮廓直线特征,消除局部大颗粒凸起干扰,实现局部动堆积角的精确测量;同时,构建模拟堆积形态的三维深度场,结合三维分水岭算法完成散料颗粒分割,并求取散料中值粒径。实验结果表明,所提自适应曲面拟合分割算法的平均交并比达95.84%;局部动堆积角测量的绝对误差控制在±1.35°以内,平均绝对误差仅为0.66°;粒径分布测量有效克服了散料堆叠遮挡带来的统计偏差,修正后的中值粒径准确落入标准机械筛分法的基准区间。本文所提方法显著提升了复杂工况下散料状态参数的测量精度与鲁棒性,为散料输送系统的智能化监测提供了可靠的技术支撑。

     

    Abstract: The angle of repose and particle size distribution of bulk materials are core parameters for ensuring the safety and efficiency of continuous transportation in belt conveyors. To address the difficulties in point cloud segmentation caused by the complex trough shape and sag deformation of conveyor belts, as well as the reduced measurement accuracy due to particle occlusion and adhesion, this paper proposes a measurement method for the angle of repose and particle size distribution of bulk materials based on point cloud segmentation. To achieve high-fidelity segmentation of bulk materials, a bicubic polynomial surface model is constructed to adaptively fit the actual deformed surface of the conveyor belt using the weighted least squares method, thereby accurately extracting the pure point cloud of the bulk materials. On this basis, equidistant point cloud slicing combined with the Hough transform is employed to extract contour line features, which eliminates the interference from local large particle protrusions and enables accurate measurement of the local dynamic angle of repose. Simultaneously, a 3D depth field simulating the stacking morphology is constructed, and a 3D watershed algorithm is applied to accomplish the segmentation of bulk particles and calculate the median particle size. Experimental results demonstrate that the mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) of the proposed adaptive surface fitting segmentation algorithm reaches 95.84%. The absolute error of the local dynamic angle of repose measurement is controlled within ±1.35°, with a mean absolute error of only 0.66°. Furthermore, the particle size distribution measurement effectively overcomes the statistical bias caused by particle stacking and occlusion, and the corrected median particle size accurately falls within the benchmark interval of the standard mechanical sieving method. The proposed method significantly improves the measurement accuracy and robustness of bulk material state parameters under complex working conditions, providing reliable technical support for the intelligent monitoring of bulk material conveying systems.
