The transformer-based feature extraction module (TFEM) integrates multi-head attention mechanism and multi-layer perceptron to capture global contextual crack semantic features. The incoherent segmentation masks (ISM) employs a binary classifier to predict the coarsest irrelevant mask and further performs up-sampling fusion of higher-resolution features.

In this paper, a deep learning coupled Bayesian inverse approach is proposed for measuring the elastoplastic parameters of SS400 steel welds by nanoindentation experiment. The nanoindentation experiments were performed on the SS400 steel welds, including base metal (BM), weld zone (WZ), and heat affected zone (HAZ), and the experiment load–displacement (<em>P-h</em>) curves were obtained. The hyper-parameters tunable artificial neural network (ANN) was established to correlate elastoplastic parameters with indentation <em>P-h</em> curves. Based on Bayesian inference theory, the posterior density function for estimating the unknown material parameters was established. Transitional Markov chain Monte Carlo was used for sampling from the posterior density function, and the elastoplastic properties in different regions of SS400 steel welds were identified. The advantage of the established measuring method is that the hyper-parameters optimized ANN model can provide the very accurate forward relationship between material properties and indentation <em>P-h</em> curves. Besides, the inverse Bayesian framework can quantify the potential uncertainty of the identified elastoplastic parameters. The measured elastoplastic properties of the base metal of SS400 steel show good agreement with tensile experiment data, of which the maximum measuring error is less than 12%. The measured elastoplastic properties in WZ and HAZ are also proved to be effective.

The limitation to its widespread application lies in the accuracy of measurement, prompting the proposal of an error compensation method to address the measurement error within the implemented blade on-machine measurement system. To address the pre-travel error in the measuring device of the on-machine measurement system, an analysis of the factors influencing the pre-travel error of the contact probe is conducted. Subsequently, pre-travel error data is gathered utilizing the experimental calibration method involving a standard ball, and a prediction model employing the bilinear interpolation algorithm is established to facilitate error compensation. Employing pre-travel error compensation for the analysis of the operating body error in the on-machine measurement system, a spherical center distance constraint error model is derived through closed-loop kinematic calibration of the six-degrees-of-freedom industrial robot. Kinematic parameter error identification is conducted using a hybrid algorithm combining the L-M algorithm and the adaptive factor double-variable DE algorithm. This approach diminishes the spherical center distance measurement error, reducing it from 0.081 mm to 0.016 mm. Subsequently, experiment is conducted to measure blade machining allowances using an on-machine robotic measurement system, comparing the obtained data with measurement from a blue light scanner and a coordinate measuring machine (CMM).
