Moreover, due to the limitations of testing frequency, quality variable data are too scarce. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a sintering quality prediction model based on multi-source data fusion and introduces video data collected by industrial cameras. Firstly, video information of the end of the sintering machine is obtained via the keyframe extraction method based on the feature height. Secondly, using the shallow layer feature construction method based on sinter stratification and the deep layer feature extraction method based on ResNet, the feature information of the image is extracted at multi-scale of the deep layer and the shallow layer. Then, combining industrial time series data, a sintering quality soft sensor model based on multi-source data fusion is proposed, which makes full use of multi-source data from various sources. The experimental results show that the method effectively improves the accuracy of the sinter quality prediction model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23104954","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,22]],"date-time":"2023-05-22T02:28:42Z","timestamp":1684722522000},"page":"4954","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["A Soft Sensor Model of Sintering Process Quality Index Based on Multi-Source Data Fusion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0116-6630","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuxuan","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hikvision Research Institute, Hangzhou 310051, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Industrial Control Technology, College of Control Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China"}]},{"given":"Weihao","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hikvision Research Institute, Hangzhou 310051, China"}]},{"given":"Zhihui","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hikvision Research Institute, Hangzhou 310051, China"}]},{"given":"Chunjie","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Industrial Control Technology, College of Control Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5","DOI":"10.1016\/S1006-706X(11)60056-3","article-title":"Influence of Iron Ore Characteristics on FeO Formation during Sintering","volume":"18","author":"Wu","year":"2011","journal-title":"J.
