A real-time prediction method of carbon content in converter steelmaking based on QCN flame image feature extraction

The carbon content of molten steel is the main factor that affects the tapping quality and the smelting efficiency, and realizing continuous real-time prediction of carbon content is the key and difficulty to the endpoint control of steelmaking. Aiming at the problem of the highly similar random natural textures in flame images corresponding to different carbon contents, and according to the unique multi-directional and multi-scale irregular characteristics of the furnace mouth flame texture, the quaternion complex network (QCN) algorithm for image color texture feature extraction is proposed. Firstly, using the quaternion equidistant mapping to fuse the color channel information of the flame image, andusing the amplitude spectrum and the secondary-quantized phase spectrum to describe the mapped spectrum to enhance the color information description. Secondly, using a complex networks method, a weighted formula of network connection that with phase and amplitude information is constructed, and construct a complex network model of the multi-scale irregular color texture of the furnace mouth flame image amplitude spectrum and finally, the topological feature degree and clustering coefficient of the complex network is calculated, the complex network topology connection mode is quantified with related features, the furnace mouth flame QCN feature is constructed, and the end carbon content is predicted by the KNN regression model. The results show that the prediction accuracy rate of carbon content within the ± 0.01% error range is85.65% and the prediction accuracy rate reaches 91.83% within the ± 0.02% error range, and the proposed algorithm meets the real-time requirements.
