The three-dimensional reconstruction of high-gloss/reflection and low-texture objects (e.g., oil casing threads) is a complex task. In this paper, we present a novel approach that combines convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and multi-layer perception (MLP) with traditional three-dimensional reconstruction methods, thereby enhancing the detection efficiency. Our method utilizes a dataset of 800 samples that includes a variety of thread defects to train a U-net-like model as a three-dimensional reconstructor. Then, an MLP model is proposed to improve the accuracy of the three-dimensional reconstructed thread profile to the level of three-coordinate measurements through a regression analysis. The experimental results demonstrate that the method can effectively detect the black-crested threads of oil casing threads and quantify their proportions in the entire sample for accurate quality assessment. The method is easy to operate and can detect black threads effectively, providing a powerful tool for oil companies to ensure exploration benefits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
