[0002] Transmission line inspection refers to regular or irregular inspections of transmission lines to ensure the safe and stable operation of transmission lines. Transmission lines are the key link in the power system that connects power plants and power loads, and their operating status directly affects the reliability and safety of power supply. With the continuous growth of electricity demand in modern society, the safety and reliability of transmission lines have become key factors in the development of the power industry. With the rapid development of the power industry, the safety and reliability of transmission lines have become increasingly important. The traditional transmission line inspection method relies on manual inspections, which is not only inefficient but also poses safety risks. In order to improve the operation and maintenance efficiency and safety of transmission lines, in recent years, transmission line field data acquisition systems based on drone vision have been widely used.

[0069] 1. In the present invention, by using CNN to extract features of visual images and infrared images respectively, and using 3D-CNN to process lidar data, the system can capture various information about the transmission line. Data of different modes can provide information about the state of the transmission line from different angles. The fusion of such multimodal data helps to improve the accuracy and robustness of fault detection. By using LSTM network to process time series data, the system can better understand the changes of data over time. LSTM can process sequence data and capture the changing trend of faults over time, so as to more accurately predict and diagnose faults.

[0070] 2. In the present invention, the weights of different modal data are determined by a single-layer perceptron, and the system can automatically learn the importance of each modal data to the final fault detection. This ability to automatically adjust weights helps to improve the adaptability and flexibility of the system, enabling it to adjust its behavior according to different data quality and input conditions. After processing the time series feature vector, the system maps the last hidden state of the LSTM to the fault category and uses the cross-entropy loss function to measure the difference between the predicted label and the true label. This method helps the system to continuously adjust its weights during the learning process to reduce prediction errors, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of fault detection.

[0071] 3. In the present invention, the drone platform module can cover a wide range of power transmission line areas in a short time by carrying sensors such as high-definition cameras, infrared thermal imagers and lidars. The rapid movement capability of the drone enables the inspection work to be completed efficiently, saving a lot of manpower and time resources. The scalability of the drone platform module allows the system to add or replace different sensors as needed to adapt to different inspection tasks and environmental conditions. In addition, the flexibility of drones also enables them to perform tasks in hard-to-reach areas, such as high-altitude lines or areas with complex terrain, improving the comprehensiveness and coverage of inspections.

[0072] The ground control and display module provides the ability to monitor drone and sensor data in real time, allowing maintenance personnel to understand the inspection progress and line status in real time. This real-time monitoring helps to respond quickly to emergencies and take immediate action when problems arise.

[0073] Data analysis and report generation: The ground control and display module can process and analyze the data collected by the drone and generate detailed inspection reports. These reports not only include the location and type of faults, but also potential causes of faults and repair suggestions, providing important decision support for operation and maintenance personnel.

[0100] The data preprocessing submodule scales the temperature value to between 0 and 1. This step can make the infrared image data more standardized, which is helpful for subsequent feature extraction and analysis;

[0101] The multimodal deep learning fusion module uses CNN to extract features of visual images and infrared images respectively, then uses LSTM network to process time series data, and finally fuses the features of different modalities through a fusion layer for final fault detection;

[0102] The image features and infrared image features are extracted using multiple convolutional layers and pooling layers, and the extraction formula is:

[0103] F modal =CNN(I modal_norm );

[0104] Among them, F modal is the eigenvector, I modal_norm is the preprocessed image;

[0106] F LIDAR =3D-CNN(P LIDAR_norm ) where FLIDAR is the feature vector extracted from the point cloud data, P LIDAR_norm It is the preprocessed point cloud data.

[0107] In the weighted sum fusion process of the multimodal deep learning fusion module, the weights are first determined by a single-layer perceptron, including:

[0108] Forward propagation: Calculate the weighted input and output of the network:

[0109] net=wvisual·Fvisual+wthermal·Fthermal+wLIDAR·FLIDAR where net is the weighted input of the perceptron.

The model is trained using the labeled data set, and the detection accuracy of the model for transmission line targets is improved by adjusting the model parameters and optimizing the algorithm;

[0129] The target detection and recognition module improves the positioning accuracy of target detection and reduces missed detection and false detection by adjusting the size and position of the detection frame. It extracts attributes of the detected targets, such as the size of the insulator and the material of the hardware, to provide more information for subsequent fault diagnosis.

[0130] The report generation module first collects the results from the target detection and recognition module and the fault detection module, which include the location, category, attributes of the target and the type, location, severity of the fault, etc. Then, based on this information, the report generation module writes a detailed inspection report, which not only contains the basic information of the fault, but also includes the impact that the fault may have on the operation of the transmission line, as well as the recommended maintenance plan and preventive measures.
