Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power transmission line defect detection, and in particular to a power transmission line defect identification method and terminal. Background Art

[0002] Transmission lines provide a steady supply of electricity for people's work and life. Therefore, transmission lines are widely used in modern society. However, with the transmission lines themselves and with their use in different environments, especially harsh environments, some defects will appear in the transmission lines. These defects will affect the normal power supply. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the defects of the transmission lines in time.

[0003] At present, in the identification of defects in power transmission lines, the more conventional method is to use manual methods. Specifically, experienced staff are dispatched to inspect the power transmission lines on the spot with the naked eye, or to view pictures of the power transmission lines on a display to manually detect whether there are defects. However, this method is inefficient and requires a lot of manpower. At present, the number of transmission lines is huge, and the manual method cannot effectively cope with the identification needs of such a large number of transmission lines. At present, there are also methods of identification through drone photography, such as the Chinese patent with publication number CN109544501A and publication date 2019.3.29 - A method for detecting defects in power transmission equipment based on multi-source image feature matching of drones. This patent uses drones to take pictures and directly analyze and identify the pictures. Although no manpower is required, the recognition accuracy is not high and the efficiency is low. For this reason, a better solution is currently needed to identify power transmission lines. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention proposes a transmission line defect recognition method and terminal, which realizes rapid and automatic recognition of defects in the transmission line in an automated image recognition manner, thereby improving efficiency and reducing costs.

[0009] Based on the trained deep convolutional neural network classifier and image detection algorithm, the candidate areas are classified and detected to distinguish between background areas, normal areas and defect areas.

[0010] In a specific embodiment, the preset feature extraction algorithm is obtained through artificial experience knowledge and based on a color space decomposition method.

[0011] In a specific embodiment, the area suspected of having defects is any combination of one or more of the following: an area with conductor strand breakage ablation features, an area with insulator porcelain bottle lightning ablation features, an area with damaged geometric features, an area with specific color features, an area with specific texture features, and an area with specific shape features.

[0012] In a specific embodiment, it also includes:

[0013] Acquire a sample image of the power transmission line; wherein the sample image includes a forward sample image in which defects are identified and a reverse sample image in which defects are determined not to exist;

[0014] The forward sample image and the reverse sample image are trained in a deep convolutional neural network to obtain a trained deep convolutional neural network classifier.

[0015] In a specific embodiment, the number of positive sample images is greater than the number of negative sample images.

[0016] In a specific embodiment, the ratio of the number of positive sample images to the number of negative sample images is 4:1.

[0017] In a specific embodiment, the specific process of classifying and detecting the candidate areas based on the trained deep convolutional neural network classifier and the image detection algorithm to distinguish the background area, the normal area and the defect area includes:

[0020] In a specific embodiment, the image detection algorithm includes: an image detection method based on a BP neural network or an image detection method based on a SVM.

[0021] In a specific embodiment, the SVM-based image detection method detects defects in a power transmission line, specifically including:

[0022] Respectively intercepting a plurality of broken strand images and a plurality of non-broken strand images of a transmission line of a preset length;

[0023] After extracting features from the broken strand images and the non-broken strand images, the SVM algorithm is used for training to obtain the SVM recognition model;

[0024] The image of the transmission line to be identified is pre-processed and then input into the SVM recognition model to compare and determine the image area of ​​the transmission line of the preset length in the identification image;

[0025] If the image area is smaller than the image area of ​​the preset length of a normal transmission line, it is determined that the transmission line corresponding to the image to be identified is a broken transmission line; wherein, the image area of ​​the preset length of a normal transmission line is obtained based on feature extraction of the non-broken image and training using the SVM algorithm.

As long as the image to be identified is input, batch and rapid recognition can be performed. Compared with manual recognition, rapid and automatic recognition of defects in power transmission lines is realized, thereby improving efficiency and reducing costs.

As used herein, the singular form is intended to also include the plural form, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] A multi-load data fusion method for transmission line defect identification, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0041] Step 101: obtaining an image of a power transmission line to be identified;

[0042] Specifically, the image to be identified may be obtained by photographing a power transmission line.

[0043] Step 102: input the image to be identified into a preset feature extraction algorithm, and set the area suspected of having defects as a candidate area;

[0044] Specifically, the preset feature extraction algorithm is obtained through artificial experience knowledge and based on the color space decomposition method, and the suspected defective area is any combination of one or more of the following: an area with ablation features of loose wire strands, an area with ablation features of insulator porcelain bottles due to lightning strikes, an area with damaged geometric features, an area with specific color features, an area with specific texture features, and an area with specific shape features. Through step 102, the candidate area can be determined to reduce the subsequent processing pressure and improve the processing efficiency.

[0045] Step 103: Classify and detect the candidate areas based on the trained deep convolutional neural network classifier and image detection algorithm to distinguish between background areas, normal areas and defective areas.

[0046] In this embodiment, a sample image of the power transmission line is obtained; wherein the sample image includes a forward sample image in which defects are marked and a reverse sample image in which defects are determined not to exist;

[0047] By training the forward sample images and the reverse sample images in the deep convolutional neural network, a trained deep convolutional neural network classifier is obtained.

[0048] In this way, the trained deep convolutional neural network classifier can well identify the defects of the transmission line;

[0049] In order to further improve the recognition accuracy and improve the training efficiency, the number of positive sample images is greater than the number of negative sample images. Preferably, the ratio of the number of positive sample images to the number of negative sample images is 4:1. Practice has proved that the ratio of the number of positive sample images to the number of negative sample images is 4:1, which can comprehensively improve the training efficiency and the number of samples, and can achieve a good training effect.

[0050] In this embodiment, step 103 specifically includes:

[0051] The candidate region is processed by a trained deep convolutional neural network classifier, and feature data of the penultimate layer of the deep neural network in the deep convolutional neural network classifier is extracted;

[0052] The feature data is classified and detected through the image detection algorithm to distinguish the background area, normal area and defect area.

[0053] In this embodiment, the image detection algorithm includes: an image detection method based on a BP neural network or an image detection method based on an SVM. For example, a support vector machine (SVM) is used to map feature vectors to a high-dimensional space for classification.

[0054] In this embodiment, a deep neural network is used to extract target features in the candidate area in an all-round way. In most cases, the integrity and effectiveness of the features obtained are better than those extracted manually. However, considering that the last layer of the deep neural network is usually in the form of a fully connected layer of a traditional neural network, classification is performed through Softmax, which is easy to generate or fit when the number of training samples is small.

[0055] Taking this into consideration, in this solution, the feature data of the penultimate layer of the deep neural network is extracted, and then the conventional image detection algorithm is used to classify and detect the feature data to distinguish between background areas, normal areas and defective areas (in this regard, it should be noted that the extraction of the feature data of the penultimate layer of the deep neural network is one of the important technical innovations of this embodiment, which selects and optimizes the source of the feature data, so it has important technical significance for subsequent identification). This can fully utilize the advantages of traditional methods in feature classification, and combine the advantages of deep neural networks in image feature extraction to realize the automatic identification of typical power transmission defects that integrates traditional means and modern technologies, and improve the accuracy of typical power transmission defect identification.

[0056] Therefore, the present invention studies the differentiated characteristics of different processing stages such as image segmentation, feature extraction, and defect recognition of typical wire defects based on traditional methods (such as BP neural network, support vector machine SVM, etc.) and deep neural network method (convolutional neural network CNN), and studies a multi-technology fusion recognition scheme for wire defects such as broken strands, loose strands, and ablation, giving full play to the advantages of traditional methods and deep neural network methods in each stage of image recognition, and improving the recognition accuracy of different defect types.

[0057] The following is a further description of the SVM algorithm used in this embodiment to realize defect recognition of typical defect images of conductors: The SVM-based image detection method detects defects in transmission lines, specifically including:

[0058] Respectively intercepting a plurality of broken strand images and a plurality of non-broken strand images of a transmission line of a preset length;

[0059] After extracting features from the broken strand image and the non-broken strand image, training is performed using an SVM algorithm to obtain an SVM recognition model;

[0060] The image of the transmission line to be identified is pre-processed and then input into the SVM recognition model to compare and determine the image area of ​​the transmission line of the preset length in the identification image;

[0061] If the image area is smaller than the image area of ​​the preset length of a normal transmission line, it is determined that the transmission line corresponding to the image to be identified is a broken transmission line; wherein, the image area of ​​the preset length of a normal transmission line is obtained based on feature extraction of the non-broken image and training using the SVM algorithm.

[0062] The defect area can be obtained through the above step 103; the specific process of identifying the broken strands of the wire segment in the present embodiment of step 103 is exemplified as follows:

[0063] Research has found that the image area of ​​a wire with a broken strand will become smaller for a predetermined length; however, the normal length-width area of ​​a wire with a preset length is a fixed value, and there is a minimum domain threshold. This minimum domain threshold can be obtained through a large amount of data training; the SVM algorithm can then be used to obtain the wire image area with broken strands. The specific operation method is as follows:

[0064] First, construct the SVM algorithm recognition training set and test set and perform training. Take m images of broken strands with a preset length of A×A pixels and n images of non-broken strands with a preset length to form the test set. Then, extract features from the intercepted images. Then, use the SVM algorithm for training to determine the SVM recognition model.

[0065] Then the image to be identified is preprocessed (the image to be identified is input into the SVM recognition model as a test set), the preprocessed image is segmented, and the rectangular area to be identified is determined to accurately determine the position of the wire;

[0066] Finally, the broken strand image and image background of the wire image of the preset length are separated; finally, the SVM algorithm recognition model is used to identify the broken strand anomaly of the preset length. If it is found that the current wire image successfully matches the image in the standard data set, it can be judged as a broken strand wire (that is, the current wire image that successfully matches a series of typical defect images below the minimum domain threshold can be judged as a broken strand wire).

[0067] It should be specially noted that the preprocessing of the image to be identified includes: using the background difference method to remove the background of the broken strand image to obtain a primary filtered image; performing threshold segmentation on the primary filtered image to obtain a secondary filtered image; counting the area size of each connected region of the pixels in the secondary filtered image, estimating the area of ​​the wire region of a preset length, and extracting the small area (i.e. extracting a series of images of typical defects below the minimum domain threshold and using them as the final standard data set of typical defective wires).

Optionally, the touch panel may include two parts: a touch detection terminal and a touch controller.

In addition, the touch panel can be implemented using multiple types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic waves. In addition to the touch panel, the input unit may also include other input devices.

It provides users with wireless broadband Internet access.
