Design of coal mine drilling detection model combining improved YOLOv5 and Gaussian filtering

Coal is currently the most important energy source in most countries. With the advent of information intelligence, more and more intelligent technologies are being applied in coal mine detection. A new model for coal mine drilling detection, which combines improved YOLOv5 and Gaussian filtering, is proposed to address the low efficiency and poor accuracy in manual detection of coal mine drilling. This new model incorporates attention mechanism and multi-object detection model on the basis of traditional YOLOv5. Due to factors such as equipment vibration and electrical interference in drilling detection, random noise is often mixed into the image signal data obtained. In order to effectively reduce the impact of noise on data and improve signal-to-noise ratio, Gaussian filtering method is studied for data denoising. This new model’s border regression loss value was 0.004 lower than the YOLOv5 loss value. This new optimization method’s accuracy was improved from 0.966 to 0.982. This new model improved the detection accuracy of small cracks by about 0.05. The detection depth of the coal seam in this new model was 9.54 m, which was closer to the true value than other methods. Therefore, using the new model to detect coal mine boreholes can effectively improve the accuracy of borehole detection images, which has a good effect on the analysis of coal mine rock layers. This new model has a good guiding role in the detection images and rock analysis research of future coal mine boreholes. The research has good research value in oil drilling inspection, natural gas pipeline monitoring, and quality inspection of industrial automation systems. This provides important technical support for future coal mine drilling image detection and rock analysis research.
