Abstract

The invention discloses a fast image recognition method of an insulator contour, comprising the following steps: (1) transforming a taken color image to a gray image through brightness calculation and extracting the edge contour of the image, and obtaining the shape of a known region after the extraction; (2) carrying out ellipse fitting on the edge contour of the known region, utilizing hough transform to detect a boundary curve and obtain each parameter of a prolate axis, a minor axis and a central point of an ellipse; (3) carrying out threshold processing on contour area, and setting a proper area threshold according to the contour area; (4) carrying out linear fitting on the center of the ellipse, and fitting a line through a two-dimensional point set by seeking sumi rho(ri); and (5) demarcating and outputting insulator pixels. The invention aims at specific requirements of patrol and examination of a helicopter or a robot to an electric transmission line, realizes real-time and precise extraction of the insulator, provides solid foundation for realizing close shot and part defect diagnosis of a follow-up camera, and has favorable theory and application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fast image recognition method for the outline of an insulator. Background technique [0002] For a long time, due to the limitation of geographical environment and other factors, the work of transmission line inspection mainly relies on manual visual observation. This traditional working method can only find some defects on the ground, the bottom of the tower, and some relatively simple and easy-to-see problems such as the self-explosion of glass insulators. defects, lower work efficiency. With the emergence of high-voltage, high-power, and long-distance transmission lines, the geographical environment traversed by transmission lines has become increasingly complex, which has brought many difficulties to line inspections. Automatic inspections of transmission lines using helicopters or robots have become an important part of power development. the trend of. [0003] Helicopter or robot inspections generally record infrared ...
