Article Preview

Abstract:

An image mapping algorithm is proposed to improve the precision of flexible roll forming. The mapping algorithm based on visual feedback and Image analysis technology. On-line detection device realizes image acquisition of cross-section profile. After processing and analysis, geometric feature is extracted by Hough transform in the image. Geometric feature is transformed to matrix which is built a mapping relation with the original matrix. The mapping algorithm describes the displacement and rotary error in the process of flexible roll forming. Closed loop control is realized by feeding back the error to the control system. Experiments results show that the mapping algorithm is a good algorithm for on-line dimensional precision detection in sheet metal forming.

(1) Line Detection with Hough Transform. Hough transform use the parametric equation of the straight line as Eq. 2. In the formula, represent straight line direction, 0≤θ<180, represent distance which is origin to the linear. Line of different points in the parameter plane ρ –θ is transformed for a bunch of intersection in a bit of sine curve. Obviously if this parameter plane of node is able to determine, line detection is realized. xcosθ+ysinθ=ρ. (2) The Algorithm Analysis and Comparison. Acquisition of the cross section profile image is extracted several straight line segment through a series of software process which are image preprocessing, image analysis and linear segment fitting. In the images the linear and angular point are extracted and fitted, and get the a few pieces of the main straight line segment characteristics in image through the conversion and calculation of coordinate system. Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 are extracting features of the image respectively based on the least squares and the Hough transformation. Least squares method in theory can obtain a given data set in the mean square error of the sense of absolute precision straight line, so as to reach a high precision. But least squares is very vulnerable to the effects of noise and breakpoint, as shown in Fig. 2, the line of web width is quasi synthesis for three straight line segment. And Hough transform has good robustness, can steadily and accurately detect the main straight line segment. The flexible section of roll forming product is not complex, and two kinds of algorithm are can satisfy the requirement of real-time. In order to ensure the reliability of the testing, the system's feature extraction algorithm uses Hough transform to detect. Fig. 2 Effect chart based on least squares Fig. 3 Effect chart based on Hough transform Matrix Mapping Analysis of Profile Image If the rotation and scaling are all present, its linear mapping relationship is indicated by Eq. 3. Deviation value for Angular and length are got by above formula, in order to the system controls motors to compensate the value in the next cycle of motion compensation. sigi'=μ(cosθsinθ-sinθcosθ)∙sigi. (3) Deviation value of sheet section angle and length can be expressed as Eq. 4. fμi, θi=μili+θiπD/360. (4) In Eq. 4, μi represents the line length scaling of profile section for the nth pass, θi represents the line angle scaling of profile section for the nth pass, li represents the line length of profile section for the nth pass, D represents the rotating diameter.
