Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of image enhancement technology under low illumination, and relates to a method for enhancing images of power transmission lines under low illumination based on generative adversarial networks. Background Technology

[0002] In my country, most major power transmission lines with voltage levels above 220kV have been equipped with image-processing-based online monitoring equipment. Cameras mounted on high-voltage transmission towers collect images of the transmission lines and their surroundings, allowing for the analysis of issues such as broken strands, hanging foreign objects, icing, external damage, and the condition of transmission equipment. This enables timely detection and handling of potential hazards. However, on cloudy days with low light levels, the images captured are unclear and cannot effectively reflect the actual conditions of the transmission lines, affecting online monitoring. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the clarity of online monitoring images of transmission lines under low light conditions, thereby improving the accuracy of online monitoring in such environments.

[0003] Image enhancement methods for transmission lines under low illumination can be divided into two categories: traditional methods and learning-based methods. Traditional methods can be further divided into histogram equalization (HEM) and Retinex-based image enhancement methods. Histogram equalization-based methods, while enhancing the image, also introduce background noise and are prone to local oversaturation and significant loss of local information. Retinex-based methods produce halos in areas with large brightness differences, affecting the visual quality. Furthermore, they suffer from insufficient edge sharpening, abrupt shadow boundaries, color distortion, and unclear textures. While traditional image enhancement methods are relatively simple and fast, they do not consider contextual information within the image, resulting in less than ideal enhanced image quality.

[0004] With the development of deep learning technology, deep learning-based methods for enhancing low-light images of power transmission lines have been proposed. These methods use paired (low-light image and original high-resolution image) or unpaired power transmission line images to train networks and obtain models that can be used for low-light image enhancement of power transmission lines. Although deep learning-based methods for enhancing low-light images of power transmission lines generally produce higher-quality enhanced images compared to traditional image enhancement methods, artifacts and significant loss of detail still exist to some extent, affecting the quality of the enhanced images and consequently the accuracy of AI-based online monitoring of power transmission lines in low-light environments. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a method for enhancing transmission line images under low illumination based on generative adversarial networks, which can effectively enhance a single transmission line image under low illumination, avoid artifacts in the enhanced image, retain more image detail information, and improve the quality of the enhanced transmission line image.

[0006] The solution to the technical problem of this invention is: to provide an image enhancement method for transmission lines under low illumination based on generative adversarial networks, characterized by the following specific steps:

[0007] 1) Constructing the dataset

[0008] By selecting low-light and normal-light images with different backgrounds from the power transmission line video monitoring system and processing them, an unpaired sample training set and a paired sample test set were constructed.

[0009] 2) Constructing a generative network
