    Automatic recognition algorithm and software implementation of quartz fluid inclusions based on color space thresholding segmentation

    • 摘要: 高纯石英作为半导体、光纤通信和激光技术等高科技产业的关键原材料,其品质直接决定了石英制品的性能和应用效果。其中,石英颗粒内部的微米级流体包裹体不仅影响原料的纯度等级,还对材料熔制过程中产生气泡缺陷具有显著影响。然而,传统方法在量化石英颗粒包裹体含量方面存在效率低、精度不足等问题,难以满足高纯石英原料大规模筛选和精细化评价的需求。为解决上述问题,本研究设计了一种基于颜色空间阈值分割的自动识别算法。通过偏光显微镜捕捉同一视场下石英包裹体油浸片的偏光暗场和透光亮场图片,利用偏光暗场图片中的YCbCr颜色通道范围分割并提取石英颗粒。随后,将透光亮场图片与分割结果叠加,用于识别石英颗粒内部的流体包裹体,并统计其面积占比,实现包裹体特征的量化分析。基于该算法,开发了一套采用B/S架构的软件系统,集成了石英颗粒特征参数提取、流体包裹体占比计算及数据可视化等功能。为验证软件和算法的有效性,本研究设计了不同样本容量下的计算时间和结果稳定性评估实验。结果显示,计算时间随样本容量呈线性增长,样本容量越大,计算时间的波动越明显。在稳定性方面,以石英颗粒像素面积为参考指标,当样本容量超过30组时,粒度分布曲线的中位数和偏度值逐渐趋于收敛。此外,通过对两组包裹体含量差异显著的石英样品进行验证,结果表明,本方法能够准确识别和量化石英内部包裹体的面积占比,与人工观察结果高度一致。本研究为高纯石英的精细化评价与筛选提供了高效、精准的技术解决方案,同时也为其他矿物材料中包裹体的识别与定量分析提供了借鉴。未来工作将结合深度学习技术,进一步提升算法的鲁棒性和泛化能力。

       

      Abstract: High-purity quartz is a critical raw material for high-tech industries such as semiconductors, optical fiber communication, and laser technology. Its quality directly determines the performance and application efficiency of quartz-based products. Among the factors influencing its quality, submicron fluid inclusions within quartz particles not only affect the purity grade but also significantly contribute to bubble defects during material melting. However, traditional methods for quantifying fluid inclusions in quartz particles are limited by low efficiency and insufficient accuracy, making them inadequate for large-scale screening and precise evaluation of high-purity quartz raw materials. To address these challenges, this study proposes an automated identification algorithm based on color-space threshold segmentation. By capturing polarized dark-field and transmitted bright-field images of fluid inclusion slides under a polarizing microscope, the proposed method uses the YCbCr color channels of the polarized dark-field images to segment and extract quartz particles. Subsequently, the segmented results are overlaid with transmitted bright-field images to identify fluid inclusions within quartz particles and calculate their area ratio, enabling quantitative analysis of inclusion characteristics. Based on this algorithm, a software system with a B/S architecture is developed, integrating functionalities such as quartz particle feature extraction, fluid inclusion ratio calculation, and data visualization. To evaluate the performance of the software and algorithm, experiments are conducted to assess computation time and result stability under different sample capacities. The results show that computation time increases linearly with sample size, with larger sample capacities exhibiting greater fluctuations in computation time. Regarding stability, the pixel area of quartz particles is used as a reference metric. When the sample capacity exceeds 30 groups, the median and skewness of the particle size distribution curve tend to converge. In addition, validation experiments are conducted on two quartz samples with significantly different inclusion contents. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can accurately identify and quantify the area ratio of fluid inclusions within quartz particles, showing a high degree of consistency with manual observations. This study provides an efficient and accurate technical solution for the refined evaluation and screening of high-purity quartz, and it offers insights for the identification and quantitative analysis of inclusions in other mineral materials. Future work will focus on incorporating deep learning techniques to enhance the algorithm’s robustness and generalization ability.
