Problems solved by technology

In August 2003, a large-scale power outage in the United States and Canada was caused by the failure to trim branches near the power line and fault handling. In September 2003, a power outage in most parts of the country in Italy The incident was also caused by the fact that a large tree in Switzerland was blown down by the wind and hit the high-voltage power line leading to Italy, causing the line to be interrupted and causing a major power outage in Italy that

Abstract

The invention discloses a rapid image-recognizing method of a power line profile. The method comprises the following steps: (1) conversing a shot color image into a grey image by brightness calculation and extracting the border profile of the image; (2) adopting an improved probability Hough transformation method to make self-adaptive adjustment of a line segment length and a statistics number obtained from the image in a known region; (3) adopting fitting of a line and a direction template for the two-dimensional fitting of a direction pixel template and a distance pixel template with linear characteristics and realizing linear fitting by deriving sumi rho(ri); and (4) calibrating and outputting power line pixels by storing and displaying the finally detected and calibrated linear pixels in a polar coordinate mode or a rectangular coordinate mode. Aiming at the concrete requirements of helicopters or robots for inspecting transmission lines, the invention precisely extracts the transmission lines in real time, provides a solid foundation for the subsequent zoom-in shooting of a camera and the defect detection of parts hereafter and has favorable theoretical and application prospects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fast image recognition method of electric power line contour. Background technique [0002] For a long time, most of the work of installation, operation, maintenance and overhaul of transmission lines in my country has been mainly done by manpower, and the level of mechanization is far behind the international advanced level. With the emergence of high-voltage, high-power, and long-distance transmission lines, the transmission lines are getting farther and farther away from cities and main traffic roads, making their construction, operation and maintenance more and more difficult. The development of modern aviation industry and automation technology provides new technical methods and means for the construction and operation and maintenance of transmission lines. Automated inspection of areas that are difficult to reach by manpower by means of helicopters or robots has become a research hotspot in the field of power line insp...
