Abstract: Precise determination of hot rolling work roll surface wear conditions is critical for optimizing mill performance. To address the imaging challenges posed by large-sized roll surfaces, a vision acquisition system integrating dual line-scan cameras with customized linear light sources was designed, allowing roll surface images to be reliably captured during the roll changing process. A template matching algorithm based on Constrained Dynamic Time Warping is proposed to achieve automated image acquisition. Wear conditions are effectively characterized by a four-dimensional Tamura texture feature vector consisting of coarseness, contrast, linearity, and regularity. Furthermore, the classification of typical wear morphologies is achieved with 95% accuracy by employing an extremely randomized trees ensemble learning model. Finally, an intelligent roll surface wear detection platform was developed, providing a novel approach for the intelligent maintenance and process optimization of hot rolling work rolls.
