- Abstract
- Curved hull plate forming, the process of forming a flat plate into a curved surface that can fit into the outer shell of a ship's hull, can be achieved through either cold or thermal forming processes, with the latter processes further subcategorizable into line or triangle heating. The appropriate forming process is determined from the plate shape and surface classification, which must be determined in advance to establish a precise production plan. In this study, an algorithm to extract two-dimensional features of constant size from three-dimensional design information was developed to enable the application of machine and deep learning technologies to hull plates with arbitrary polygonal shapes. Several candidate classifiers were implemented by applying learning algorithms to datasets comprising calculated features and labels corresponding to various hull plate types, with the performance of each classifier evaluated using cross-validation. A classifier applying a convolution neural network as a deep learning technology was found to have the highest prediction accuracy, which exceeded the accuracies obtained in previous hull plate classification studies. The results of this study demonstrate that it is possible to automatically classify hull plates with high accuracy using deep learning technologies and that a perfect level of classification accuracy can be approached by obtaining further plate data.
