Abstract
Flame temperature field measurement has always been a key topic in combustion research, which is of great significance for combustion state diagnosis and fuel combustion optimization. Deep learning technology exploits its superior nonlinear ability to rapidly reconstruct the three-dimensional (3D) temperature field of flames from flame light-field images. However, existing algorithms have problems with complex networks, poor noise resistance and low reconstruction accuracy. This paper proposes a lightweight 3D flame temperature field reconstruction algorithm based on an improved MobileNet that combines residuals and spatial attention mechanisms. This method basically achieves a balance between low complexity and high accuracy and has good noise resistance performance. Simulation results show that the average relative error of temperature field reconstruction on the noise-free unimodal flame dataset is only 0.022%, and its computational complexity is only one-tenth of the existing CNN. The noise simulation experiment shows that this method has good noise resistance performance. The maximum relative error and the average relative error at Gaussian white noise standard deviation σ = 0.15 are only 2.91% and 0.27%, respectively.
