/ Program 45th Annual Icaleo Laser Materials Macroprocessing TBD Full-surface 3D Profiling and Multi-dimensional Feature Extraction Method For Intelligent Prediction of Weld Quality In Laser Welding
Description

The precise characterization of surface morphology is essential for predicting the joints quality. Compared to the conventional two-dimensional profiling, the full-surface 3D profiling captures more comprehensive spatial data which is high related to the joints mechanical performances. Therefore, a method for full-surface 3D profiling and multi-dimensional feature extraction is proposed for the intelligent prediction of weld quality in laser welding. A high-precision 3D model of the entire weld surface without geometric blind spots is efficiently reconstructed utilizing a multi-view vision acquisition system and point cloud registration. Multi-dimensional geometric features are quantitatively extracted from the full-surface 3D profile of weld. It is demonstrated that the complex weld features can be captured by the full-surface profiling method effectively. Furthermore, the intrinsic relationship between the multi-dimensional weld features and the mechanical performance is accurately established by the intelligent algorithm. The results indicate that the identified key weld features facilitate the construction of a highly robust intelligent prediction model. The extracted weld features from multi-dimensions reveal spatial variation patterns of the weld which are extremely difficult to be analyzed using traditional two-dimensional profiles. Therefore, the proposed full-surface 3D profiling and multi-dimensional feature extraction method is of great importance for quantitatively characterizing the weld morphology and realizing the intelligent prediction of laser weld quality.
