Abstract

Feature extraction is an important part for coal and gangue recognition, which has direct impact on accuracy of recognition. However, the existing feature extraction methods for coal and gangue are not ideal, and so a feature extraction method with multi-fractal is proposed based on energy field normalization for target recognition of coal and gangue in this paper. In the method, the concept of target energy field is established based on 3D grey surface, and the normalized target energy is calculated by using pixels. Then, after analysis of the feature extraction process, a feature extraction algorithm with multi-fractal is proposed based on energy field, in which 3D grey surface is divided by different grid forms, and the pixels in grid are counted to obtain the probability density distribution matrix of pixels. The results of multiple feature extraction is observed visually from probability density distribution, spatial feature distribution, and multi-fractal spectrum to illustrate the measurability of the method for target textures, which is the quantitative attribute of feature extraction. In the experiment, this method is used to quantitatively measure grey texture, and the effectiveness of measured features in coal and gangue recognition is compared with other methods. The experiment results show that the method can achieve effective quantitative measurement for coal and gangue texture, and the recognition accuracy is higher than other methods.
