[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power equipment inspection, and in particular to a power equipment inspection method and system. Background Art
[0002] Power equipment inspection is an important part of ensuring the safe operation of the power system. Traditional power inspection methods rely on manual inspection and conventional image acquisition equipment, such as ordinary cameras or single-spectrum cameras. These devices can usually only collect single-spectrum information, and have limited recognition effects on equipment surface faults (such as cracks, corrosion, deformation, etc.), and cannot fully and accurately detect multiple surface anomalies.
[0003] Most existing power inspection systems rely on a variety of sensor devices such as infrared thermal imagers and sound sensors to collect different types of inspection data. However, this multi-sensor combined inspection method has problems such as complex hardware, high power consumption, and high equipment maintenance costs, making it difficult to meet the needs of long-term, large-scale inspections. In addition, in terms of path planning, conventional inspection methods usually generate inspection paths based on the geographical location of the equipment, but lack an effective mechanism for planning paths based on the priority of equipment failures, making it difficult to ensure that inspection tasks respond quickly to high-priority failures.

For the purposes of this specification, "computer-readable medium" can be any device that can contain, store, communicate, propagate or transmit a program for use by an instruction execution system, device or apparatus, or in conjunction with such instruction execution systems, devices or apparatuses.

[0140] Example 4 is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a power inspection method. In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through economic benefit calculation and simulation experiments.
[0141] By comparing the performance of the method of the present invention with traditional method 1: UAV multi-device inspection system and traditional method 2: ground robot inspection system in terms of power consumption, abnormal area recognition accuracy and inspection path response time in power equipment inspection, the superiority of the power inspection method based on ULP camera of the present invention in terms of low power consumption, multi-spectral data acquisition, abnormal recognition accuracy and inspection responsiveness is verified.
[0142] The experiment was set up on an overhead power line support, where three groups of power equipment were installed. Each group of equipment contained preset surface defect areas (cracks, corrosion, and deformation). Three methods were used to inspect these devices and record various parameters.
[0143] Traditional method 1 uses drones equipped with visible light cameras and infrared thermal imagers to collect visible light images and infrared temperature data on the surface of power equipment, respectively. During the flight of the drone, visible light images are used to detect the color and brightness characteristics of the equipment surface, and the infrared thermal imager is used to identify abnormal temperature areas. During the inspection process, the drone flight needs to be managed, and the data is transmitted to the post-processing software for analysis to identify abnormal areas on the equipment surface. The flight of the drone and the operation of multiple devices result in high overall system power consumption.
[0144] Traditional method 2 uses a ground robot inspection system, which is equipped with a visible light camera, ultrasonic sensor, and lidar system. The visible light camera is used to collect images of the equipment surface, the ultrasonic sensor detects surface defects by measuring echoes, and the lidar is mainly used to generate a three-dimensional map of the inspection area. The system relies on a combination of multiple sensor modules to complete data collection, and the data fusion process is complex. Data comparison is mainly completed through manual intervention or preset software algorithms to determine the location and nature of abnormal areas. This multi-sensor inspection method consumes high power, and the inspection path generation depends on the path preset.
[0145] In the experiment, data collection and analysis were performed based on three comparison dimensions: power consumption, abnormal area recognition accuracy, and inspection path response time. The experimental results are shown in Table 1.
[0146] Table 1 Comparison of experimental results
[0147]
[0148] In the power consumption test, under the same inspection conditions, three methods were used to complete the surface data collection of power equipment and record the power consumption. The method of the present invention collects multi-spectral images through a single ULP camera device, which significantly reduces power consumption compared to traditional methods one and two. In traditional method one, the drone needs to maintain a flight state and carry a visible light camera and an infrared thermal imager at the same time, and the overall power consumption is relatively high. In traditional method two, the ground robot has high power consumption due to the combined operation of multiple sensors and navigation control, resulting in high overall power consumption of the inspection equipment. The low-power design of the present invention greatly reduces the energy consumption of the equipment, making it more suitable for long-term and large-scale inspection tasks.
[0149] The method of the present invention uses a ULP camera to independently complete the inspection task, and the power consumption is lower than the traditional multi-device combination solution. The drone of the traditional method one needs to maintain flight and carry multiple devices, and the overall power consumption is relatively high. The ground robot of the traditional method two is equipped with multiple sensor modules and self-navigation systems, which is complicated to operate and consumes a lot of power. The present invention realizes multi-spectral image acquisition of a single device based on the ULP camera, which greatly reduces the power consumption during the inspection process and reflects the advantages of the low-power inspection solution.
[0150] In terms of the accuracy of abnormal area recognition, the surfaces of the three groups of power equipment were preset with known abnormal areas (cracks, corrosion and deformation) to test the recognition of the three methods. The method of the present invention uses a ULP camera to collect visible light and near-infrared light images, and performs data analysis through multi-spectral fusion technology, which greatly improves the recognition accuracy. Traditional method 1 requires post-processing analysis of visible light and infrared thermal images, and is relatively sensitive to color and temperature changes, but due to the lack of multi-spectral fusion, it cannot capture subtle changes in surface structure. Traditional method 2 relies on ultrasonic sensors and lidar data, and has low recognition of structural anomalies, especially when detecting cracks and corrosion. The accuracy is insufficient.
[0151] The method of the present invention effectively improves the recognition accuracy of subtle surface defects such as cracks and corrosion by fusing visible light and near-infrared spectra. In contrast, although traditional method one has temperature information, it is slightly insufficient in the recognition of subtle structures. It mainly relies on temperature difference judgment and fails to effectively fuse spectral data. Although the ultrasonic sensor and lidar in traditional method two can detect surface distance and depth, their ability to recognize surface defects is insufficient, especially when detecting smaller surface anomalies, the accuracy is low. The method of the present invention achieves more comprehensive feature extraction based on multi-spectral data, significantly improving the recognition accuracy of abnormal areas.
[0152] In terms of inspection path response time, the method of the present invention directly uses the A* algorithm to generate the optimal inspection path based on the severity of the fault after the defect is detected. Thanks to the real-time processing and automated path planning of multispectral images, the method of the present invention does not require subsequent data fusion or manual intervention, significantly shortening the path response time. Traditional method one relies on drones and post-processing analysis software, which takes a long time in the data transmission and processing process. In traditional method two, the ground robot needs to complete the path preset first, and relies on the synchronous fusion of multi-sensor data, and the path generation time is relatively long. Overall, the solution of the present invention significantly improves the inspection response efficiency in path planning.
[0153] The A* algorithm is a heuristic search algorithm that combines the optimality guarantee of the Dijkstra algorithm with a heuristic estimation function. The heuristic estimation function is used to estimate the cost from the current node to the target node. In inspection path planning, this estimation function can take into account the severity of defects. For example, for inspection points with serious defects, the estimation function will give higher priority, making the algorithm more inclined to search towards these points during the search process. It maintains an open list and a closed list to record the nodes to be explored and the nodes that have been explored, and continuously selects the nodes in the open list with the minimum comprehensive cost (the actual cost from the starting node to the current node plus the estimated cost to the target node) for expansion.
[0154] For example, in a power inspection system, for power towers with fault alarms, the A* algorithm can use heuristic functions to estimate the priority of reaching these fault points based on the location of the power towers and the fault alarm information, and quickly generate an efficient inspection path passing through these fault points.
[0155] The present invention realizes automatic inspection path generation through the A* algorithm, combines multi-spectral data processing and defect severity classification to generate the optimal inspection path. Traditional method one relies on subsequent processing and analysis, and needs to wait for the drone data transmission to be completed, and the path generation response is slow. Traditional method two requires the completion of multi-sensor data fusion before generating according to the preset path, and the overall response speed is limited by data synchronization and transmission. In contrast, the solution of the present invention realizes the real-time generation of the inspection path, greatly reduces the response time, and demonstrates superior inspection efficiency.
[0156] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
