Research on the application of lidar void rate features and deep learning in complex coal–gangue separation
Coal–gangue identification is essential for ensuring the efficiency and stability of coal production
yet conventional sensing methods often show limited robustness in complex mining environments. This study aims to enhance identification performance by exploring void rate features in LiDAR data and evaluating their effectiveness in deep learning–based classification. First
the formation mechanism of laser-echo loss in LiDAR acquisition is analyzed
and the effects of scanning angle and material moisture on the spatial distribution of void rate characteristics are investigated. Large-scale LiDAR point-cloud data are then converted into pseudo-color images
from which void rate features are extracted through preprocessing and segmentation. These features are incorporated into a DenseNet-based classification framework. Comparative experiments are conducted to evaluate the contribution of void rate information against conventional single-channel inputs. The results demonstrate that void rate features provide a stable and discriminative representation of material differences between coal and gangue. Incorporating void rate information significantly improves classification accuracy and robustness under varying operating conditions. The findings confirm that void rate is an effective engineering feature with strong practical value and offer new insights into the application of LiDAR technology for intelligent mineral separation in complex industrial environments.
