| Summary: | Automatic coal-rock recognition is one of the critical technologies for intelligent coal mining and processing. Most existing coal-rock recognition methods have some defects, such as unsatisfactory performance and low robustness. To solve these problems, and taking distinctive visual features of coal and rock into consideration, the multi-scale feature fusion coal-rock recognition (MFFCRR) model based on a multi-scale Completed Local Binary Pattern (CLBP) and a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the multi-scale CLBP features are extracted from coal-rock image samples in the Texture Feature Extraction (TFE) sub-model, which represents texture information of the coal-rock image. Secondly, the high-level deep features are extracted from coal-rock image samples in the Deep Feature Extraction (DFE) sub-model, which represents macroscopic information of the coal-rock image. The texture information and macroscopic information are acquired based on information theory. Thirdly, the multi-scale feature vector is generated by fusing the multi-scale CLBP feature vector and deep feature vector. Finally, multi-scale feature vectors are input to the nearest neighbor classifier with the chi-square distance to realize coal-rock recognition. Experimental results show the coal-rock image recognition accuracy of the proposed MFFCRR model reaches 97.9167%, which increased by 2%−3% compared with state-of-the-art coal-rock recognition methods.
