Abstract

The internal crack defect is prone to appear in the inner part of casting products during the production process due to the influence of casting craft and on-site environment. In order to ensure the internal quality of the casting products, nondestructive examination and defect detection technology should be used to detect the internal crack of the casting product. The existing defect detection technologies have some problems such as poor generalization and low accuracy. Therefore, an internal crack defect detection method based on the Relief algorithm and Adaboost-SVM is proposed in this paper. Firstly, casting image is preprocessed by grayscale transformation, bilateral filtering, and adaptive image segmentation. Secondly, HOG feature, invariant moment feature, and LBP feature are extracted, and sensitive feature set is selected by Relief algorithm. Finally, the Adaboost-SVM is used to construct the internal crack detection model to realize the crack detection with high generalization and accuracy. The effectiveness of the method is verified by the casting image dataset collected in the actual industrial field. The experimental result reveals that the proposed method could not only extract sensitive feature set but also has better classification performance and generalization ability than other common classifiers.
