Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of physical models and imaging systems of solid-liquid two-phase flow, in particular to a backlight imaging system and method capable of simultaneously measuring particle size and volume concentration of particles.
Background
Meanwhile, the technology for measuring the particle size and the volume concentration of various particles is of great importance to natural environment protection and industrial production safety, and is mainly applied to the fields of sediment transport and the like.
At present, various non-invasive measuring devices have been applied to the above scenes in succession and have been moderately popularized. For example, acoustic inversion measurements enable the conversion of backscatter intensity to concentration signals based on known particle sizes. Although the technology of multi-frequency particle size and concentration acquisition of an acoustic wave device has made great progress, the systematic error caused by the uncertainty of the inversion process and the need of an independent calibration flow are the non-negligible bottleneck of the acoustic inversion device. The other is measurement equipment and technology based on optical principles, including optical backscattering and transmission of infrared or visible light, laser phase doppler shift, laser diffraction and direct imaging methods. The optical device is mostly dependent on the back-scattered intensity as well as the refractive index and the transmission of the particle size. In contrast, devices based on laser means provide more reliable statistics on particle size, but are generally limited to spherical particles; direct imaging systems and methods are advantageous in measuring irregular size, shape, density, and spatial distribution of particles in stationary or steady flow systems. Direct imaging methods can be classified according to the direction of incident light (or scatter): front-lit (back-scattered), side-lit (side-scattered), and back-lit (forward-scattered). Front and side light methods need to solve the scattering problem of non-uniform light in order to estimate the particle size and shape characteristics. On the other hand, the back-light imaging method provides better contrast with black shadow images by particles under a white background. This technique is again innovative in order to obtain an accurate volume concentration, since the depth of field or the flake thickness affects the estimation of the particle concentration. In particular, using a fixed focus criterion for each particle size under the same optical conditions may result in a depth of field that increases with particle size, resulting in larger particle size errors and smaller volume concentration estimates.
To address the effect of depth of field on particle size and concentration estimation, many devices and techniques identify focused particles by using parameters such as threshold gray scale, halo width, maximum normalized contrast, diffraction fringes, empirical or critical gradient indicators, and ratio of maximum intensity gradient to average intensity gradient. However, it is not clear whether different optical conditions (e.g. light intensity, magnification), particle shape and overlap effects will affect the above-mentioned focusing parameters. In addition, the above devices and techniques are mostly suitable for two-phase liquid/gas scenarios, but have poor applicability to solid/liquid scenarios. The invention provides a system and a method capable of simultaneously measuring particle size and volume concentration based on a backlight imaging technology, which are expected to be widely applied to the related field.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the existing equipment and technology, the invention provides a backlight imaging system and method for simultaneously measuring the particle size and the volume concentration of opaque particles in a water body environment.
