Abstract

Recently, accelerating the improvement in the level of iron ore mining has become extremely important for the sustainable development of the steel industry. Various foreign objects such as steel bars, wood, and plastic pipes easily appear on iron ore belt conveyors, which cause damage to equipment and harm the personal safety of mining workers. Accordingly, a lightweight detection model based on you only look once (YOLO)v3 is proposed in this study. This study first uses the median filter method to preprocess the belt foreign body image to remove the influence of dust and improve the clarity of ore edges. Second, we train the YOLOv3 belt foreign matter detection algorithm based on the selected data set to detect belt foreign matter and evaluate the model based on mean average precision (mAP) and other indicators. Finally, after implementing the sparse training based on the batch normalization (BN) layers, the channel-pruning and layer-pruning strategies are implemented to simplify the YOLOv3 model, followed by parameter fine-tuning. When the accuracy of the model is not affected, our model realizes smaller calculations, faster processing, and a smaller size compared to the original YOLOv3 model. Hence, the model effectively achieves real-time recognition of foreign matter on the ore conveyor belt.
