[0091] The preprocessed image is input into the power equipment recognition model; the model performs convolution operations on the image layer by layer to extract different levels of features from low-level to high-level;

[0092] Based on feature extraction, the model performs weighted summation and activation operations on these features, and finally outputs a probability distribution vector, which indicates the probability that the input image belongs to each type of power equipment. By comparing the size of these probability values, the type of power equipment in the input image can be determined.

[0093] The type of power equipment identified by the model is used as the output result for subsequent equipment temperature database query and status analysis;

[0094] The structure of the electric power equipment identification model includes:

[0102] In this step, the model performs layer-by-layer convolution operations on the image, which can effectively extract different levels of features from low-level to high-level, which helps to improve the accuracy of recognition; at the same time, the weighted summation and activation operations within the model further enhance the expressiveness of the features, making the final output probability distribution vector more reliable; image preprocessing can significantly improve image quality and reduce the impact of noise and interference on the recognition results, thereby enhancing the robustness of the model; this enables the model to maintain good recognition effects under different lighting conditions, shooting angles and equipment states; compared with traditional manual inspection methods, the power equipment detection method based on image recognition has achieved automation and greatly improved work efficiency; drones can quickly collect a large amount of image data, and the model can complete the processing and recognition of these images in a short time, greatly shortening the detection cycle; the type of power equipment identified by the model as the output result can not only be directly used for fault warning and maintenance guidance, but also as an important basis for subsequent equipment temperature database query and status analysis; this helps to achieve comprehensive monitoring and refined management of the operating status of power equipment.

[0103] S3, using the power equipment type as a filtering condition, traversing the pre-built equipment temperature database to obtain a focus position set and a focus position threshold temperature set corresponding to the power equipment type; wherein the focus position set includes all focus positions that need to be focused on for the power equipment type, and the focus position temperature threshold set includes the temperature threshold corresponding to each focus position;

[0104] Use the power equipment type as a query index and initiate a query request to the pre-built equipment temperature database;

[0105] The database system retrieves a focus position set and a corresponding focus position temperature threshold set matching the type of the electric power equipment according to the query request;

[0106] Verify the retrieved focus position and temperature threshold data to ensure the accuracy, timeliness and completeness of the data;

[0107] The verified focus position set and focus position temperature threshold set are used as output results and passed to the subsequent steps for extracting the temperature value of the corresponding position on the device infrared image and performing over-temperature analysis;

[0108] The method for constructing the device temperature database comprises:

[0119] Calibrate the infrared images collected by the drone to ensure that the temperature information in the image is accurate; this includes adjusting the brightness and contrast of the image and performing necessary radiation correction to eliminate the impact of environmental factors on the infrared image;

[0120] Through feature point matching and image transformation technology, the device appearance image and the infrared image are registered to ensure that the same device position in the two images can be accurately aligned;

[0121] Based on the focus position set, use image processing technology to accurately find each focus position on the infrared image; help identify the corresponding hot spots or temperature abnormality areas in the device infrared image;

[0122] In an infrared image, each pixel corresponds to a temperature value; based on the precise positioning of the focus position, the temperature data of the pixels corresponding to these positions are read;

[0123] Further correction and smoothing of the read temperature data helps to improve the accuracy and stability of the temperature data;

[0124] The temperature values ​​corresponding to each focal position are sorted into a real-time temperature set; this set will be used for subsequent over-temperature analysis.

[0125] In this step, the influence of environmental factors on the infrared image is effectively eliminated by carefully calibrating the infrared image of the equipment collected by the drone, thereby improving the accuracy of the temperature information in the image; the equipment appearance image and the infrared image are accurately registered by using feature point matching and image transformation technology; the accurate alignment of the same equipment position in the two images is ensured, which provides a solid foundation for the subsequent accurate positioning of the focus position on the infrared image; based on the focus position set, each focus position is accurately found on the infrared image through image processing technology, and the corresponding hot spot or temperature abnormality area is successfully identified, making the temperature monitoring of key parts of the power equipment more accurate and reliable; the read focus position temperature data is further corrected and smoothed, effectively reducing the influence of noise and error on the data, and improving the stability and reliability of the data; by sorting out the temperature values ​​corresponding to each focus position, a real-time temperature set is formed; this set not only contains rich temperature information, but also has high accuracy and stability, which provides strong data support for subsequent over-temperature analysis, power equipment status assessment and fault diagnosis; this step realizes the accurate extraction and sorting of the focus position temperature in the infrared image of the power equipment through fine operation and processing, providing important data support for the entire power equipment detection process.

[0128] For each temperature value in the focus position real-time temperature set, find the temperature threshold value of the corresponding focus position in the focus position temperature threshold set for comparison;

[0129] If the real-time temperature is within the normal temperature range, the current state of the focus position is considered normal and no further processing is required;

[0130] If the real-time temperature exceeds the warning temperature threshold but does not reach the severe over-temperature threshold, the focus position is considered to be in a warning state and requires further monitoring and preventive maintenance measures;

[0131] If the real-time temperature exceeds the severe over-temperature threshold, it is considered that there is a severe over-temperature problem at the focus position, and immediate intervention measures are required to prevent equipment damage or accidents;

[0132] For the comparison result of each focal position, record its temperature status, wherein the temperature status includes a normal status, a warning status and a serious over-temperature status;

[0133] The states of all focal positions are arranged in order to form an over-temperature state vector; the over-temperature state vector intuitively reflects the over-temperature conditions of each focal position of the power equipment at present.

[0134] In this step, the temperature of each focal position of the power equipment can be monitored and compared in real time to ensure timely detection of over-temperature conditions, thereby improving the accuracy and timeliness of detection; temperature monitoring and comparison are carried out for each key focal position of the power equipment to ensure the comprehensiveness of the detection; at the same time, by setting temperature thresholds of different levels, the degree of over-temperature at each focal position can be carefully evaluated, providing a more accurate basis for subsequent maintenance decisions; for the warning state and serious over-temperature state found, the corresponding alarm mechanism can be triggered immediately to notify the operation and maintenance personnel to handle it; it is helpful to take preventive maintenance measures or emergency intervention measures in a timely manner to prevent equipment damage or accidents, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system; the construction of the over-temperature state vector provides the operation and maintenance personnel with intuitive and visual equipment status information; by viewing the over-temperature state vector, the operation and maintenance personnel can quickly understand the overall over-temperature situation of the power equipment, providing strong support for the formulation of maintenance plans and decisions.

[0136] Encode the over-temperature state vector of the power equipment to ensure that its format matches the requirements of the model input layer;

[0137] Once the over-temperature state vector is input into the power equipment state analysis model, the model will perform inference calculations based on the learned mapping relationship, extract useful information from the input data and predict the real-time fault type of the power equipment;

[0138] After the model reasoning is completed, the prediction results are output, indicating the real-time fault type of the power equipment;

[0145] Mechanical failure: damage to mechanical parts due to wear, corrosion, vibration, etc.;

[0146] Cooling system failure: cooling medium circulation is not smooth or cooling capacity is reduced.

[0147] In this step, through the automated image recognition and state analysis model, the fault detection of power equipment can be carried out quickly, thus improving work efficiency; the state analysis model based on image recognition and machine learning can make objective and accurate judgments based on pre-learned knowledge and rules, thus reducing errors caused by human factors; by using remote acquisition equipment such as drones, the appearance and infrared images of the power equipment can be obtained in real time without direct contact with the equipment, and then the state analysis can be carried out; this not only reduces the safety risks of inspection personnel, but also makes monitoring possible in complex terrain or severe weather conditions; the model can identify various types of faults through in-depth analysis of the over-temperature state vector, which helps to detect problems in a timely manner and take corresponding measures to prevent the fault from expanding or causing more serious consequences; by timely detecting and handling potential faults of power equipment, it can effectively reduce power outages caused by equipment failures, thereby improving the reliability and stability of power supply.

[0148] Furthermore, in the subsequent inspection operation, it is necessary to conduct secondary inspection on multiple power equipment in the inspection area that have not been found to have faults. When conducting the secondary inspection, the method for setting the UAV inspection route includes:

[0149] Step T1, collecting power equipment over-temperature state vectors of multiple power equipments that have not been found to have faults; the power equipment over-temperature state vector is obtained by performing over-temperature analysis on the infrared image of the power equipment in the previous step, reflects the real-time temperature state of the power equipment, and is an important basis for evaluating whether the equipment may fail;

[0150] Step T2: For each power equipment over-temperature state vector of the power equipment that has not been found to have a fault, an over-temperature statistical analysis is performed to obtain the over-temperature state index of the power equipment; the higher the over-temperature state index, the more likely the power equipment is to fail; including statistically analyzing the temperature state in the over-temperature state vector of each device, and calculating the over-temperature state index of each device based on the statistical results, the higher the over-temperature state index, the more likely the power equipment is to fail; the specific calculation method of the over-temperature state index is as follows: each element in the over-temperature state vector represents the temperature state of a focal position, and the over-temperature state index is quantified by assigning weights or scores to different states. temperature state; for example, the normal state is assigned the lowest score, the warning state is assigned the middle score, and the over-temperature state is assigned the highest score; the quantified results of each focal position are weighted averaged or otherwise comprehensively calculated to obtain an overall over-temperature state index; the selection of weights is determined based on the importance of the focal position or the degree of its impact on the overall operation of the power equipment; in order to facilitate comparison of the over-temperature states of different power equipment, the calculated over-temperature state index is standardized so that it falls within a fixed range, such as between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates that there is no over-temperature at all and 1 indicates that all focal positions are in a serious over-temperature state;

[0151] Step T3: Based on the over-temperature status index of the power equipment, multiple power equipments that have not been found to have a fault are sorted from high to low to obtain a power equipment status sequence; the power equipment status sequence is a priority ranking of the power equipment according to its potential fault risk;

[0152] Step T4: Generate the detection route of the drone according to the power equipment status sequence. In the power equipment status sequence, the power equipment that is closer to the front will be detected first. Plan the detection route of the drone according to the equipment status sequence, and give priority to checking those power equipment with higher over-temperature status index, that is, more prone to problems, to ensure that the equipment most likely to fail is checked first, so as to discover and solve the problem in time.

[0153] In the above process, by calculating the over-temperature status index, the power equipment with higher potential failure risks can be quickly identified, so that detection can be prioritized, unnecessary inspection time can be reduced, and overall detection efficiency can be improved; by analyzing the over-temperature status of power equipment, it can be predicted which equipment is more likely to fail, thereby achieving early warning and preventive maintenance and reducing the probability of failure; by planning the inspection route according to the status sequence of power equipment, drones and human resources can be reasonably allocated, giving priority to equipment with higher risks and achieving optimal resource allocation.

[0155] Image acquisition module, using drones to collect real-time appearance images and infrared images of power equipment;

[0156] The device identification module uses the pre-built power device identification model to perform feature recognition on the device appearance image to obtain the type of power device;

[0157] The temperature database query module uses the power equipment type as a filtering condition, traverses the pre-built equipment temperature database, and obtains a focus position set and a focus position threshold temperature set corresponding to the power equipment type; wherein the focus position set includes all focus positions that need to be focused on for the power equipment type, and the focus position temperature threshold set includes the temperature threshold corresponding to each focus position;

[0158] The infrared image temperature extraction module extracts the temperature value of the corresponding position on the infrared image of the device based on the focus position set, and generates a real-time temperature set of the focus position;

[0159] An over-temperature analysis module performs over-temperature analysis on the focus position real-time temperature set and the focus position temperature threshold set to obtain an over-temperature state vector of the power equipment;

[0160] The fault analysis module inputs the over-temperature state vector of the power equipment into the power equipment state analysis model to obtain the real-time fault type of the power equipment.

[0161] The system realizes the automation of the whole process from image acquisition to fault analysis, greatly reducing manual intervention and improving the intelligent level of detection. The image acquisition by drone avoids the tediousness and danger of manual inspection.

[0162] The system not only collects images of the equipment's appearance, but also uses infrared images for temperature detection, which can comprehensively monitor the operating status of power equipment. Through the pre-built power equipment recognition model and temperature database, the system can accurately identify the equipment type and obtain the corresponding focus position and temperature threshold, thereby performing precise temperature analysis and fault diagnosis.

[0163] The system can collect and process image data in real time, quickly generate over-temperature state vectors of power equipment, and input them into the fault analysis model to obtain real-time fault types, which can effectively avoid the occurrence of power accidents.

[0164] Compared with the traditional manual inspection method, the system reduces the impact of the inspection personnel's experience, skills and subjective judgment on the inspection results, and reduces human errors; at the same time, the system processes and analyzes data through algorithms and models, which has higher objectivity and accuracy; the system can detect the status of multiple power equipment at the same time, greatly improving the inspection efficiency; in addition, the speed of drone image acquisition is also faster than manual inspection, further shortening the inspection cycle; the system has good scalability and flexibility, and can update and optimize the inspection model, database and algorithm according to actual needs;

[0165] In summary, the power equipment detection system based on image recognition not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of detection, but also enhances the comprehensiveness of monitoring and early fault diagnosis capabilities, which helps to achieve safe and stable operation of the power system.
