[0031] The acquisition, storage, and application of ground location and other information involved in the technical solutions of this invention comply with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations and do not violate public order and good morals.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a substation equipment inspection method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the inspection of substation equipment. The method can be executed by a substation equipment inspection device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and specifically configured in an electronic device, such as a server.

[0034] See Figure 1 The inspection methods for substation equipment shown include:

[0035] S101. In the substation cloud model, obtain the ground location of each point in at least one substation equipment sub-model, as well as the camera parameters of the inspection equipment and the scale of the substation cloud model.

[0036] In this embodiment, the substation site cloud model can be a point cloud model of the substation. The substation equipment sub-model can be a model of the substation equipment in the substation corresponding to the substation site cloud model. The ground position of each point in the substation equipment sub-model can be the position of each point in the substation equipment sub-model projected onto the ground. The position can be represented in coordinate form. The inspection equipment can be a device that inspects the substation equipment. The camera parameters can be the inherent parameters of the camera in the inspection equipment, and the camera parameters can include, but are not limited to, the number of pixels and the aperture size, etc.

[0037] S102. For each substation equipment sub-model, determine the model inspection location of the substation equipment sub-model based on the ground location of each point in the substation equipment sub-model.

[0038] In this embodiment, the model inspection location can be the location where the inspection equipment inspects the substation equipment sub-model within the substation site cloud model. Specifically, a certain algorithm can be used to determine the model inspection location within the substation equipment sub-model based on the ground location of each point in the substation equipment sub-model.

[0039] Optionally, based on the ground positions of each point in the substation equipment sub-model, the model inspection positions of the substation equipment sub-model are determined, including: determining the average ground position of each point in the substation equipment sub-model as the center point ground position of the substation equipment sub-model; dividing the ground projection area of ​​the substation equipment sub-model into at least two model regions; for each model region, determining the ground distance between the ground position of each point in the model region and the ground position of the center point; determining the point with the largest ground distance as the endpoint in the model region; and determining the model inspection positions of the substation equipment sub-model on the extension line from the ground position of the center point to the ground position of the endpoint.

[0040] The ground location of the center point can be the ground location of the center point of the substation equipment sub-model.

[0041] Specifically, the average of the abscissas of the ground positions of each point in the substation equipment sub-model is determined as the abscissa of the center point of the substation equipment sub-model; the average of the ordinates of the ground positions of each point in the substation equipment sub-model is determined as the ordinate of the center point of the substation equipment sub-model, thus obtaining the ground position of the center point of the substation equipment sub-model; the ground projection area of ​​the substation equipment sub-model is divided into at least two model regions; for each model region, the ground distance between the ground position of each point in the model region and the ground position of the center point of the substation equipment sub-model is determined; the point with the largest ground distance is determined as the endpoint in the model region; a preset number of model inspection positions of the substation equipment sub-model are selected on the extension line from the ground position of the center point to the ground position of each endpoint. The preset number can be set independently by technical personnel based on actual needs or practical experience, and this invention does not limit this. In one specific embodiment, the preset number is one.

[0042] It is understandable that by adopting the above technical solution, the model inspection position of the substation equipment sub-model can be determined on the extension line from the center point ground position to the end point ground position. This allows the inspection equipment to collect inspection images containing at least two surfaces of the substation equipment sub-model at the model inspection position, thereby increasing the amount of information contained in the inspection images and thus improving the accuracy of the inspection by the inspection equipment.

[0043] S103. Based on the ground location of each point in the substation equipment sub-model, the model inspection location, and the camera parameters, determine the model inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection location.

[0044] In this embodiment, the model inspection height can be the inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection position in the substation cloud model. Specifically, a certain algorithm can be used to determine the model inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection position based on the ground position of each point in the substation equipment sub-model, the model inspection position, and camera parameters.

[0045] S104. Based on the inspection positions of each model and the inspection height of the inspection equipment at each model inspection position, the model inspection path of the inspection equipment is obtained by fitting.

[0046] In this embodiment, the model inspection path can be the path taken by the inspection equipment to inspect the substation equipment sub-models in the substation cloud model. Specifically, at least one existing technology can be used to fit the model inspection path of the inspection equipment based on the inspection positions of each model and the model inspection height of the inspection equipment at each inspection position. This invention does not limit this approach.

[0047] S105. Based on the scale of the substation cloud model, convert the model inspection path into a real inspection path so that the inspection equipment can inspect the substation equipment corresponding to each substation equipment sub-model according to the real inspection path.

[0048] In this embodiment, the actual inspection path can be the path taken by the inspection equipment to inspect the substation equipment. Specifically, the model inspection path is proportionally converted according to the scale of the substation cloud model to obtain the actual inspection path.

[0049] In one optional embodiment, the inspection equipment is controlled to inspect the substation equipment according to the inspection path to obtain inspection images of each substation equipment; for each substation equipment, the inspection images of the substation equipment are subjected to target detection of defect features to obtain target detection results; if the target detection results include defect features, it is determined that there is an anomaly in the substation equipment.

[0050] The inspection images can be images of substation equipment collected by inspection equipment, and the types of inspection images can include, but are not limited to, visible light images and infrared images. Defect features can be the characteristics of defects in substation equipment, and defect features can include, but are not limited to, crack features, rust features, and abnormal heating features.

[0051] It is understandable that by adopting the above technical solution, defect features can be detected in the inspection images of substation equipment; based on whether the target detection results include defect features, it can be determined whether the substation equipment is abnormal. Compared with the existing method of manually inspecting inspection images, this improves the efficiency of anomaly detection in substation equipment.

[0052] In this embodiment of the invention, the ground positions of each point in at least one substation equipment sub-model are obtained within a substation site cloud model, along with the camera parameters of the inspection equipment and the scale of the substation site cloud model. For each substation equipment sub-model, the model inspection position is determined based on the ground positions of each point within the substation equipment sub-model. The model inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection position is determined based on the ground positions, model inspection positions, and camera parameters. The model inspection path of the inspection equipment is fitted based on each model inspection position and the model inspection height of the inspection equipment at each model inspection position. Finally, the model inspection path is converted into a real inspection path according to the scale of the substation site cloud model, enabling the inspection equipment to inspect the substation equipment corresponding to each substation equipment sub-model according to the real inspection path. The technical solution of this invention, compared with the existing method of manually controlling the inspection equipment in real time, avoids the defect of poor inspection accuracy caused by manual control of the inspection equipment, and realizes the automatic generation of the inspection path, so that the inspection equipment can automatically perform inspection according to the inspection path. Compared with the method of manually controlling the inspection equipment, the inspection cost is reduced.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a substation equipment inspection method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Based on the technical solution of the above embodiments, the present invention optimizes and improves the method for determining the model inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection position.

[0055] Furthermore, the step of "determining the model inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection position based on the ground position of each point in the substation equipment sub-model, the model inspection position, and the camera parameters" is refined into "determining the shortest distance between the model inspection position and the ground position of each point in the substation equipment sub-model; determining the model inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection position based on the shortest distance and the camera parameters of the inspection equipment," in order to improve the operation of determining the model inspection height.

[0056] It should be noted that for any parts not described in detail in the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to the description in the foregoing embodiments.

[0057] See Figure 2 The inspection methods for substation equipment shown include:

[0058] S201. In the substation cloud model, obtain the ground location of each point in at least one substation equipment sub-model, as well as the camera parameters of the inspection equipment and the scale of the substation cloud model.

[0059] S202. For each substation equipment sub-model, determine the model inspection location of the substation equipment sub-model based on the ground location of each point in the substation equipment sub-model.

[0060] S203. Determine the shortest distance between the model inspection location and the ground location of each point in the substation equipment sub-model.

[0061] Specifically, for each point in the substation equipment sub-model, the Euclidean distance between the model inspection location and the ground location of that point in the substation equipment sub-model is determined; the minimum Euclidean distance is determined as the shortest distance between the model inspection location and the ground location of each point in the substation equipment sub-model.

[0062] S204. Based on the shortest distance and the camera parameters of the inspection equipment, determine the model inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection position.

[0063] Specifically, a certain algorithm is used to determine the model inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection position based on the shortest distance and the camera parameters of the inspection equipment.

[0064] Optionally, the camera parameters include the camera focal length and the camera target size; based on the shortest distance and the camera parameters of the inspection equipment, the model inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection position is determined, including: determining the product between the camera target size and the shortest distance; and determining the ratio between the product and the camera focal length as the model inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection position.

[0065] Understandably, by adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to improve the accuracy of the size of the substation equipment sub-model in the inspection image while ensuring that the inspection equipment can collect an inspection image containing the entire substation equipment sub-model at the model inspection height at the model inspection position. This avoids invalid inspections due to image distortion, improves the effectiveness of the inspection equipment in inspecting the substation equipment according to the actual inspection path, and enhances the accuracy of the inspection images.

[0066] Optionally, after determining the model inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection location based on the shortest distance and the camera parameters of the inspection equipment, the method further includes: obtaining the maximum height of each point in the substation equipment sub-model and the camera pixel size of the inspection equipment; determining the auxiliary inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection location based on the maximum height and the camera pixel size; verifying whether the model inspection height is equal to the auxiliary inspection height; if the model inspection height is not equal to the auxiliary inspection height, updating the model inspection height to the preset safety height.

[0067] The preset safety height can be the height at which the inspection equipment is in a safe state, i.e., a height that will not collide with external components. This preset safety height can be set independently by technicians based on actual needs or practical experience. Specifically, a certain algorithm is used to determine the auxiliary inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model's inspection position based on the maximum height and the camera pixel size.

[0068] Understandably, by adopting the above technical solution, an auxiliary inspection height is determined, and the model inspection height is verified using the auxiliary inspection height to ensure the accuracy of the model inspection height data. This ensures that the inspection equipment can acquire inspection images containing the entire substation equipment sub-model at the model inspection location, and improves the accuracy of the substation equipment sub-model dimensions in the inspection images. Furthermore, when the model inspection height is not equal to the auxiliary inspection height, a preset safety height is used as the model inspection height to avoid collisions between the inspection equipment and the outside world, thereby ensuring the safety of the inspection equipment and extending its service life.

[0069] Optionally, the auxiliary inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection position is determined based on the maximum height and the camera pixel size, including: determining the ratio between the maximum height and the camera pixel size as the auxiliary inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection position.

[0070] It is understandable that by adopting the above technical solution, the obtained auxiliary inspection height can ensure that the inspection equipment can collect an inspection image containing the entire substation equipment sub-model at the auxiliary inspection height of the model inspection position, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the size of the substation equipment sub-model in the inspection image, and thus improving the effectiveness of using the auxiliary inspection height to verify the model inspection height and the accuracy of the model inspection height.

[0071] S205. Based on the inspection positions of each model and the inspection height of the inspection equipment at each model inspection position, the model inspection path of the inspection equipment is obtained by fitting.

[0072] S206. Based on the scale of the substation cloud model, convert the model inspection path into a real inspection path so that the inspection equipment can inspect the substation equipment corresponding to each substation equipment sub-model according to the real inspection path.

[0073] This invention determines the shortest distance between the model inspection location and the ground positions of various points in the substation equipment sub-model; based on the shortest distance and the camera parameters of the inspection equipment, it determines the model inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection location. This technical solution, by determining the model inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection location based on the shortest distance and the camera parameters of the inspection equipment, improves the accuracy of the substation equipment sub-model dimensions in the inspection image, avoids a high error rate due to deformation of the substation equipment sub-model in the inspection image, and thus improves the effectiveness of the inspection equipment in inspecting the substation equipment according to the actual inspection path, as well as the accuracy of the inspection images of the substation equipment acquired by the inspection equipment.

[0074] Example 3

[0075] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a substation equipment inspection device provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. This embodiment of the invention is applicable to the inspection of substation equipment. The device can execute substation equipment inspection methods and can be implemented in hardware and / or software. The device can be configured in electronic equipment, such as a server.

[0081] The real path determination module 305 is used to convert the model inspection path into a real inspection path according to the scale of the substation cloud model, so that the inspection equipment can inspect the substation equipment corresponding to each substation equipment sub-model according to the real inspection path.

[0082] This invention employs a ground location acquisition module to acquire the ground locations of points in at least one substation equipment sub-model within a substation site cloud model, as well as the camera parameters of the inspection equipment and the scale of the substation site cloud model. An inspection location determination module determines the model inspection location for each substation equipment sub-model based on the ground locations of its points. An inspection height determination module determines the model inspection height of the inspection equipment at the model inspection location based on the ground locations, model inspection locations, and camera parameters.

Finally, a real path determination module converts the model inspection path into a real inspection path based on the scale of the substation site cloud model, enabling the inspection equipment to inspect the substation equipment corresponding to each substation equipment sub-model according to the real inspection path. The technical solution of this invention, compared with the existing method of manually controlling the inspection equipment in real time, avoids the defect of poor inspection accuracy caused by manual control of the inspection equipment, and realizes the automatic generation of the inspection path, so that the inspection equipment can automatically perform inspection according to the inspection path. Compared with the method of manually controlling the inspection equipment, the inspection cost is reduced.
