Abstract:
      In the field of flotation optimization control, the research on froth image acquisition and processing has been widely used. Most of the existing research focuses on the image data collected from the surface of the froth phase of the flotation machine. For the pulp phase, due to the harsh environment, extremely poor light transmittance, and corrosiveness, it is difficult to obtain internal bubble images, thus affecting the development of technology. For this problem, this paper designs a new bubble image acquisition system, which can directly collect image data in situ in the pulp phase, and proposes to use a deep learning semantic segmentation model to achieve accurate segmentation of the pulp phase bubble image. The experimental results show that this system can collect clear pulp phase bubble images in the laboratory environment. The pre-trained model is used for transfer learning based on small samples, and the bubble segmentation accuracy of the validation set is 0.943, which has important research and application value.
