Abstract Coal is heterogeneous in nature, and thus the characterization of coal is essential before its use for a specific purpose. Thus, the current study aims to develop a machine vision system for automated coal characterizations. The model was calibrated using 80 image samples that are captured for different coal samples in different angles. All the images were captured in RGB color space and converted into five other color spaces (HSI, CMYK, Lab, xyz, Gray) for feature extraction. The intensity component image of HSI color space was further transformed into four frequency components (discrete cosine transform, discrete wavelet transform, discrete Fourier transform, and Gabor filter) for the texture features extraction. A total of 280 image features was extracted and optimized using a step-wise linear regression-based algorithm for model development. The datasets of the optimized features were used as an input for the model, and their respective coal characteristics (analyzed in the laboratory) were used as outputs of the model. The R-squared values were found to be 0.89, 0.92, 0.92, and 0.84, respectively, for fixed carbon, ash content, volatile matter, and moisture content. The performance of the proposed artificial neural network model was also compared with the performances of performances of Gaussian process regression, support vector regression, and radial basis neural network models. The study demonstrates the potential of the machine vision system in automated coal characterization.

Machining of hardened steel at high cutting speeds produces high temperatures in the cutting zone, which affects the surface quality and cutting tool life. Thus, predicting the temperature in early stage becomes utmost importance. This research presents a neural network model for predicting the cutting temperature in the CNC end milling process. The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was applied as an effective tool for modeling and predicting the cutting temperature. A set of sparse experimental data for finish end milling on AISI H13 at hardness of 48 HRC have been conducted to measure the cutting temperature. The artificial neural network (ANN) was applied to predict the cutting temperature. Twenty hidden layer has been used with feed forward back propagation hierarchical neural networks were designed with Matlab2009b Neural Network Toolbox. The results show a high correlation between the predicted and the observed temperature which indicates the validity of the models.

Surface roughness is important for evaluating the machined surface quality. In this work, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) surface roughness prediction model was developed by coupling it with Response Surface Methodology (RSM). For this interpretation, advantages of statistical experimental design techniques, experimental measurements, and artificial neural network were exploited in an integrated manner. Cutting experiments were designed based on small centre composite design technique to develop a RSM model. The input cutting parameters were: cutting speed, feed, and axial depth of cut, and the output parameter was surface roughness. The predictive model was created using a feed-forward back-propagation neural network exploiting the experimental data. The network was trained with pairs of inputs/outputs datasets generated by end milling medium carbon steel with TiN coated carbide inserts. The model can be used for the analysis and prediction of the complex relationships between cutting conditions and surface roughness, in metal-cutting operations, with the ultimate goal of efficient production. The ANN model was verified with the optimized parameters predicted by a coupled genetic algorithm (GA) and RSM technique also developed by the authors.

Abstract Intelligent welding parameter control is fast becoming a key instrument for attaining quality consistency in automated welding. Recent scientific breakthroughs in intelligent systems have turned the focus of adaptive welding control to artificial intelligence-based welding parameter control. The aim of this study is to combine artificial neural network (ANN) decision-making software and a machine vision system to develop an adaptive artificial intelligence (AI)-based gas metal arc welding (GMAW) parameter control system. The machine vision system uses a laser sensor to scan the upcoming seam and gather seam profile data. Based on further processing of the seam profile data, welding parameters are optimized by the decision-making system. In this work, the developed system is tested in a multivariable welding condition environment and its performance is evaluated. The quality of the welds was consistent and surpassed the required quality level. Additionally, the heat-affected zone (HAZ) was evaluated by microscopy, X-ray, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging. It is concluded that the developed ANN system is suitable for implementation in automated applications, can improve quality consistency and cost efficiency, and reduce required workpiece preparation and handling.
