摘要

The identification and parameter extraction of ore and rock particles pose challenges due to the complex characteristics of particles, aggregation issues, and poor image quality. Common instance segmentation methods often struggle with over-segmentation or under-segmentation at particle edges. To address these challenges, four leading instance segmentation networks were developed and evaluated based on convergence, accuracy, robustness, and generalization. The results of parameter extraction from each network were utilized to validate their performance. The research findings suggest that: (1) the you only look at coefficients (YOLACT) network has low completeness and segmentation effectiveness, while the segmenting objects by locations (SOLO) network tend to over-segment at particle edges. Conversely, the mask region-based convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN) network exhibits tendencies of both over-segmentation and under-segmentation at particle edges. In contrast, the masked-attention mask transformer (Mask2Former) network achieves detection and segmentation accuracies of 0.878 and 0.904, respectively, without notable issues of under-segmentation or over-segmentation. (2) The Mask2Former model demonstrates superior performance compared to other networks concerning convergence, accuracy, robustness, and generalization. Specifically, the Box_mAP metric exceeds that of other models by a margin ranging from 0.017 to 0.431, while the Segm_mAP metric shows an improvement of 0.039–0.408. (3) The Mask2Former model displays better consistency with actual data in detecting rock particles number and gradation statistics, with maximum error and average error in particle size proportions being 2.37% and 1.38%, respectively.
