[0047] Embodiment 1

[0048] Referring to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a three-dimensional visualization method for multi-source heterogeneous data of power equipment,

[0049] including,

[0050] 1) Reconstructing the three-dimensional mesh model of the equipment from the multi-view pictures of the power equipment taken by the visible light camera:

[0051] Automatically matching the images from the visible light image sequence by using the monocular visible light three-dimensional reconstruction technology, calculating the pose of the camera shooting and the spatial position of the equipment, and reconstructing the three-dimensional mesh model of the equipment. The three-dimensional mesh model of the equipment is the model basis for the three-dimensional visualization of the equipment status data.

[0052] The specific steps are as follows:

[0056] 2) Registering and transforming the data by using the spatial correlation relationship of the multi-band images:

[0057] Based on visible light image data, traverse and register other heterogeneous data with it in two-dimensional space using heterologous image registration. The other heterogeneous data includes infrared temperature measurement data and ultraviolet detection data, obtain the spatial transformation relationship between the visible light image and images of other bands. The images of other bands include infrared images and ultraviolet images, and combine data decision methods to obtain one-to-one matching relationships between heterogeneous data.

[0058] The steps of heterologous image registration are as follows:

[0059] Extract feature points on the device contour in the heterologous images, calculate the main directions of the feature points, then extract improved SIFT feature descriptors at multiple heterologous image scales, obtain initial matching points and perform iterative screening on them to get a matching result without incorrect matching points, solve the perspective transformation relationship matrix between the images of other bands and the visible light image from the matching point pairs, and interpolate and transform the original detection data corresponding to the images of other bands to the same scale and perspective as the visible light image to establish a spatial association relationship between heterogeneous data.

[0060] The data decision method is based on the sum of index ratios and is used to select the optimal single image to establish a one-to-one matching relationship when the registration of a single image with multiple homologous images is successful.

[0061] The decision-making process of the data decision method is as follows:

[0065] Calculate the weighted ratio sum of indicators for each image in the set of homologous or heterologous images according to the weights of the registration error value, information entropy value, and proportion of valid data, and take the image with the largest weighted ratio sum of indicators in the set of homologous or heterologous images as the optimal matching image of the single image.

[0066] 3) Use texture mapping methods and the device three-dimensional grid model to perform three-dimensional visualization on the transformed heterologous and homologous data:

[0067] Using the texture mapping relationship between the three-dimensional mesh model of the device and the visible light image, the spatial correlation relationship between heterogeneous images, and combining the UV coordinate texture mapping method, the transformed heterogeneous and homologous data are automatically mapped into the three-dimensional mesh model of the device, and multi-source texture mapping is performed on the three-dimensional mesh model of the device to endow the three-dimensional mesh model of the device with visual texture information, so as to obtain a multi-source texture model with three-dimensional visualization.

[0068] This method uses a monocular visible light three-dimensional reconstruction method to recover the spatial position of the device and the three-dimensional mesh model of the device from the visible light image of the device, and then uses the homologous and heterogeneous image registration methods to establish the spatial correlation relationship between the homologous and heterogeneous state data respectively, and selects the optimal matching data to solve the data decision problem in the one-to-many matching relationship existing between multi-source heterogeneous data, and based on the three-dimensional mesh model of the device, endows the registered multi-source heterogeneous data visualization texture for the mesh model, completes the three-dimensional visualization of the device state data, and this method improves the efficiency of device state evaluation, the processing efficiency of monitoring data, the intuitiveness and integrity of monitoring data, and the reliability of device state simulation results.

[0069] Example 2

[0070] Refer to Figures 2 - 5 , this embodiment provides a three-dimensional visualization method for heterogeneous data of power equipment. To verify the applicability and effectiveness of this method, GIS, bushing and suspension insulator are selected as experimental objects, and visible light images and infrared temperature measurement data of 3 types of power transmission and transformation equipment are collected for three-dimensional visualization display experiments.

[0071] The main hardware and software parameters of the experimental platform are as follows:

[0072] Power equipment: GIS, suspension insulator equipment not in operation in the laboratory, local thermoelectric simulation equipment for bushing;

[0073] Visible light monocular camera: Model is SAMSUNG SM-G9980, resolution is 4000×3000;

[0074] Infrared thermal imager: Model is FLIR T1040, resolution is 1024×768;

[0075] Computing host: CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900X@3.70GHz, GPU is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 208-Ti O11G;

[0076] Application: It is written based on the open-source C++ language 3D reconstruction libraries openMVG and openMVS, the open-source Matlab language heterologous image registration library CAO-C2F, and the open-source software MashLab. This application only requires the user to input multi-source heterogeneous data, and the program will automatically run according to default parameters or custom parameters. Finally, it outputs a 3D mesh model file of a single device and multiple source texture map images and conducts visual display.

[0077] I. GIS Experimental Results

[0078] Experimental tests were carried out on 11 GIS visible light images, 35 infrared temperature measurement images at two rounds with a temperature measurement interval of 24 hours, and 11 ultraviolet detection simulation images. The simulation method of the ultraviolet detection images is to overlay a blue device simulated discharge distribution map on the visible light images. The simulated ultraviolet image detection effect is as Figure 2 shown.

[0079] First, use the visible light images to reconstruct the 3D mesh model of the device and assign the visible light image texture to it to obtain the GIS visible light 3D texture model; then register the first-round infrared temperature measurement and visible light images to obtain the correlation between the infrared image and the visible light image, and assign the infrared temperature data to the 3D mesh model of the device to obtain the temperature measurement texture model; then perform homologous image registration on the second-round and first-round infrared temperature measurement images to indirectly obtain the texture mapping relationship between the second-round infrared image and the 3D mesh model of the device, and finally obtain the second-round infrared temperature measurement 3D model; finally, register the visible light and ultraviolet images to indirectly obtain the texture mapping relationship between the ultraviolet image and the 3D mesh model of the device to obtain the simulated ultraviolet detection texture model. The total running time of the program is 26 min 28 s, and the average running time for processing a single image is 27.86 s. The test results are as Figure 3 shown. The irrelevant background has been removed from the model diagram for easy observation and analysis.

[0080] It can be seen from the results that the fully automated processing method proposed in this paper uses heterologous image registration technology to establish the spatial correlation between heterogeneous data; at the same time, it uses homologous image registration technology to establish the matching relationship of device state data at different times. After reconstructing the visible light 3D model by the method in this paper, the infrared temperature measurement and ultraviolet simulation data can be three-dimensionally visualized with the same fineness as the visible light model, and it also provides an intuitive comparison of the device state at different times, greatly improving the intuitiveness of the data and reducing the workload of staff evaluating the device state from a large amount of two-dimensional data, verifying the applicability and effectiveness of the 3D visualization method in this paper for multi-source heterogeneous data of large power equipment.

[0081] II. Bushing Experimental Results

[0082] Twenty visible light images of the bushing, forty infrared temperature measurement images at two different times with an 8-hour temperature measurement interval, and twenty ultraviolet detection simulation images were collected for experimental testing. The ultraviolet detection image simulation method is the same as that of GIS. The first round of infrared temperature measurement has two local simulated hot spots, and the second round has four local simulated hot spots. The temperature difference between the hot spots and the environment is about 1.5°C. The test process is the same as that of the GIS device. The total running time of the program is 34 minutes and 43 seconds, and the average processing time for a single image is 26.04 seconds. The test results are as Figure 4 shown.

[0083] Similar to the GIS experimental results, the method in this paper successfully synthesized the visible light images of the bushing, infrared temperature measurement, and ultraviolet detection information into the same 3D model for 3D visualization. Different simulated hot spots in the two rounds of temperature measurement were accurately and clearly restored to the device model, verifying that the method in this paper can effectively restore the abnormal state information of the device. This information can not only be provided to the staff for condition assessment but also be used for later device state simulation to predict the future state of the device, upgrading the traditional point or surface measurement method to a future volume measurement diagnosis method, further verifying the applicability and effectiveness of the 3D visualization method in this paper for multi-source heterogeneous data of small power equipment.

[0084] III. Experimental Results of Insulators

[0085] Fourteen visible light images of suspension insulators, thirty infrared temperature measurement images at two different times with a 3-hour temperature measurement interval, and fourteen ultraviolet detection simulation images were collected for experimental testing. The test process is the same as that of GIS and bushing devices. The total running time of the program is 23 minutes and 50 seconds, and the average processing time for a single image is 22.93 seconds. The test results are as Figure 5 shown.

[0086] As can be seen from the results, the method in this paper can recover the fine grid model and multi-source heterogeneous texture model of suspension insulators from a large amount of visible light, infrared temperature measurement, and ultraviolet image information. Considering the time-consuming of single-image processing of GIS, bushings, and insulators, the data synthesis time of the method in this paper is stable and efficient, and it can quickly perform spatial synthesis on a large amount of multi-source heterogeneous data, solving the problem of easy fatigue in manual labor such as manual texturing. Considering that the current condition monitoring of power equipment on transmission lines mainly detects equipment images or videos and multi-band images through digital cameras and drones, the method in this paper can reconstruct the device model from its detected images or videos and synthesize multi-band information into the device model, verifying the applicability and effectiveness of the 3D visualization method in this paper for multi-source heterogeneous data of transmission equipment.

[0087] The fully automated 3D visualization method framework proposed in this paper is effective and general for the 3D visualization of multi-source heterogeneous data of power equipment. This method can stably and quickly recover the fine 3D mesh model information of the equipment from a large amount of multi-source heterogeneous data of power equipment, and establish the spatial correlation relationship between multi-source heterogeneous data, so that heterogeneous data with different resolutions can be mapped into a consistent model for three-dimensional display. The method in this paper synthesizes the 2D state data of power equipment in space and displays it in 3D form, which not only improves the integrity and three-dimensionality of viewing the multi-source heterogeneous state data of the equipment, but also provides a method reference for equipment state simulation analysis and prediction based on multi-source heterogeneous data in digital twin technology.
