Research on anti-clogging of ore conveyor belt with static image based on improved Fast-SCNN and U-Net

This paper presents an improved Fast-Segmentation Convolutional Neural Network (Fast-SCNN) and U-Net networks based on the channel attention mechanism. While ensuring the speed of network detection, the accuracy of image segmentation is also considered. The experimental results show that the accuracy rate of improved Fast-SCNN based on the channel attention mechanism is greatly improved compared with the original Fast-SCNN, reaching 88.056%, and the mean intersection over union is also improved to a certain extent, reaching 81.087%, and the detection speed is better than the original Fast-SCNN network. The accuracy of improved U-Net network based on the channel attention mechanism is 0.91805, which is better than the original U-Net network. In terms of detection speed, the improved U-Net network based on channel attention mechanism has greatly improved compared with the original U-Net network, reaching 24.02 frames per second. In addition, a method of preventing clogging of ore conveyor belts based on static image detection is proposed in this paper. By judging and predicting the blockage of the ore conveyor belt. When the conveyor belt is about to be blocked or has been blocked, the fuzzy algorithm is used to control the ore conveyor belt to slow down and stop, to improve the safety and efficiency of the conveyor belt.
