Robust Monitoring of Arc Welding Processes: A Generalizable Framework with DVAE and Particle Filter
- 用动态变分自编码器+粒子滤波,从焊池图像中学特征并追踪状态。
- 在GTAW和GMAW上均实现稳定监测,无需针对工艺调整模型。
- 适合工业界做焊接质量实时监控,尤其适用于复杂干扰场景。
弧焊是连续制造的关键工艺,但易受扰动影响,导致焊缝质量下降,因此实时监控至关重要却面临挑战——视觉模式复杂且动态非线性、时变。深度学习虽有潜力,但受限于大规模标注数据依赖与应用定制化需求,难以规模化。本文探索是否可通过统一方法,在不同应用场景下表征主要弧焊过程,并提升可扩展性。提出一种鲁棒且通用的弧焊监控框架:结合无监督深度隐表示学习(从焊池图像提取紧凑特征)与贝叶斯滤波,以应对弧光辐射、镜面反射等持续性与波动性干扰。具体而言,动态变分自编码器(DVAE)由基于CNN的编码器-解码器与基于LSTM的状态转移模型构成,联合学习隐变量及其在控制输入下的演化规律。为实现鲁棒实时推断,设计专用粒子滤波器(PF),传播隐变量与LSTM隐藏状态,保留过程历史同时抑制传感器噪声。该设计契合焊接过程慢速惯性特性。在GTAW与GMAW上未进行工艺特异性调优的验证表明,该框架具有强泛化能力与鲁棒性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Arc welding processes are essential for continuous fabrication but prone to disturbances that impair weld quality, making real-time monitoring critical yet difficult due to complex visual patterns and nonlinear, time-varying dynamics. Deep learning shows promise but faces scalability limits because of its dependence on large labeled datasets and application-specific tuning. We explore whether a unified approach can characterize major arc welding processes across applications and improve scalability through consistent state monitoring. This paper introduces a robust and generalizable monitoring framework for arc welding. It combines unsupervised deep latent representation learning, which extracts compact features from weld pool images, with Bayesian filtering to handle persistent and fluctuating disturbances such as arc radiation and specular reflections. Specifically, a Dynamic Variational Autoencoder (DVAE), consisting of a CNN-based encoder-decoder and an LSTM-based transition model, jointly learns latent representations and their evolution under control inputs. For robust real-time inference, a specialized Particle Filter (PF) propagates the latent and LSTM hidden states, preserving process history while suppressing sensor noise. This design is well suited to welding's slow and inertial dynamics. Validation on GTAW and GMAW without process-specific tuning demonstrates the framework's generalizability and robustness.
