    Design and application of a deep learning-based cross-scale recognition system for bubbles and particles in flotation froth

    • 摘要: 浮选效率与矿浆内部气泡-颗粒的相互作用机制密切相关。现有浮选过程视觉特征分析多聚焦于泡沫层,易受环境因素干扰,且对实际工业浮选过程中矿浆内部气泡-颗粒的跨尺度相互作用关注不足。针对上述问题,研发了一套基于深度学习的浮选矿浆内部气泡-颗粒跨尺度识别系统。该系统通过矿浆图像采集装置获取矿浆图像,构建标准数据集用于训练与评估;基于Mask R-CNN模型与特征金字塔网络实现实例分割与多尺度特征融合,并采用COCO评价指标对分割效果进行量化评估;对分割结果自动提取气泡与颗粒特征参数,并与人工标注结果对比实现检测误差的量化评估。在河北唐山一煤矿浮选车间浮选槽开展了系统工业验证。结果表明:该系统可稳定采集清晰的矿浆图像,精准识别大尺度气泡与小尺度矿物颗粒;模型整体实例分割平均精度(AP)达75.1%,大目标平均精度(APL)达78.8%,气泡等效直径测量相对误差仅0.299%,颗粒中值粒径相对误差为2.680%。该系统可实现矿浆内部气泡与颗粒的跨尺度精准分割与特征量化,为浮选过程的在线监测与智能优化提供可靠数据支撑,具有良好的工业应用前景。

       

      Abstract: Flotation efficiency is closely related to the interaction mechanism between bubbles and particles within the slurry. Existing visual feature analysis of the flotation process mostly focuses on the froth layer, which is susceptible to environmental interference and pays insufficient attention to the cross-scale interaction between bubbles and particles inside the slurry during actual industrial flotation. To address these issues, a deep learning-based cross-scale recognition system for bubbles and particles in flotation slurry was developed. The system acquires slurry images via a slurry image acquisition device and constructs a standard dataset for training and evaluation. Based on the Mask R-CNN model and Feature Pyramid Network (FPN), the system achieves instance segmentation and multi-scale feature fusion, and the COCO evaluation metrics are employed to quantitatively evaluate the segmentation performance. Feature parameters of bubbles and particles are automatically extracted from the segmentation results, and detection errors are quantitatively evaluated by comparing the results with manual annotations. Industrial verification was conducted in the flotation cells of a coal flotation workshop in Tangshan, Hebei. The results indicate that the system can stably capture clear slurry images and accurately identify large-scale bubbles and small-scale mineral particles. The overall average precision (AP) for instance segmentation reached 75.1%, the average precision for large objects(APL) reached 78.8%, the relative error for bubble equivalent diameter measurement was 0.299%, and the relative error for the median particle size was 2.680%. The system achieves precise cross-scale segmentation and feature quantification of bubbles and particles within the slurry, providing reliable data support for the online monitoring and intelligent optimization of the flotation process, which demonstrates promising prospects for industrial application.
