[0069] To further illustrate each embodiment, the present invention provides drawings, which are part of the disclosure of the present invention and are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, ordinary technicians in the field should be able to understand other possible implementations and advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0070] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method and system for adaptive inspection of power transmission drones based on AI-assisted photography are provided.

[0071] The present invention is further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Figure 1 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a power transmission drone adaptive inspection method based on AI-assisted photography is provided, and the power transmission drone adaptive inspection method based on AI-assisted photography includes the following steps:

[0072] S1. Obtain historical inspection photos and annotation information (category and location of equipment and defects), and collect the original location information (GPS data) and actual shooting point information (corrected location information) corresponding to the historical inspection photos.

[0073] In a further embodiment, obtaining the actual shooting point information includes the following steps:

[0074] Preprocess historical inspection photos and use edge detection algorithms to detect the contours of target devices in historical inspection photos.

[0075] Feature extraction algorithms (such as SIFT, SURF, ORB) are used to extract key points and feature descriptors of the target device.

[0076] The feature descriptors are matched with the features in the database, and reliable feature pairs are screened out through the matching results, and a preliminary estimate of the target device location is calculated.

[0077] The process of matching the feature descriptor with the features in the database and selecting reliable feature pairs through the matching results is as follows:

[0078] For each historical inspection photo, a feature extraction algorithm (such as SIFT, SURF, ORB) is used to extract the feature descriptor set {d i}, where d irepresents the i-th feature descriptor in the feature descriptor set, and the matching feature set in the database is {D j}, where D j Represents the jth matching feature descriptor in the matching feature set in the database.

[0079] All feature descriptors are preliminarily classified by the locality sensitive hashing (LSH) method. The LSH function h(·) maps the feature descriptors to a low-dimensional space: h(d i )=hash(d i ), h(D j )=hash(D j ), construct feature descriptors with the same hash value into feature descriptor pairs (d i , D j ).

[0080] For feature descriptor pairs with the same hash value, calculate their cosine similarity:

[0081]

[0082] In the formula, ts(d i , D j ) is the cosine similarity of the feature descriptor pair.

[0083] Select the feature pair with the largest cosine similarity as the preliminary matching result. For the preliminary matching results, further calculate their angular distance:

[0084]

[0085] In the formula, θ(d i , D j ) is the angular distance.

[0086] The feature pair with the smallest angular distance is selected as the final matching result.

[0087] For each final matched feature pair, the matching reliability metric R(d i , D j ):

[0088]

[0089] Where α is the weight factor of the cosine similarity stored in the database, and β is the weight factor of the angular distance stored in the database.

[0090] For the weight factors α and β stored in the database, cross-validation is performed through grid search: first prepare a training data set containing labeled feature descriptor pairs, define the search range of α and β (such as [0, 1]), then use k-fold cross-validation to split the data, train the model in turn and evaluate the performance of each combination of α and β, and finally select the weight coefficient combination that makes the model perform best on the validation set.

[0091] Using the LSH method for preliminary classification helps to quickly screen out possible matching feature descriptor pairs and reduce the amount of calculation. Combining cosine similarity and angular distance can more comprehensively measure the matching degree of feature descriptors and improve matching accuracy. By calculating the reliability measure of the matching, reliable feature pairs can be effectively screened out, further improving the credibility of the matching results. Through a multi-step matching process, the most suitable feature pairs can be gradually screened out, reducing the probability of mismatching.

[0092] According to the matching results and original position information, the actual shooting point is calculated based on the least squares method.

[0093] In addition, visualization tools (such as maps and 3D models) are used to show the changes in location information before and after correction. The least squares method is used to solve a function to minimize the sum of squared deviations of the data points. Specifically, it is used to correct the original GPS location information and estimate a more accurate shooting point based on the image feature matching results.

[0094] S2. Use historical inspection photos and annotation information to train the AI ​​image recognition model, and use historical inspection photos, original location information and actual shooting point information to train the position deviation correction model. The AI ​​image recognition model identifies target equipment and defects such as poles, insulators, and conductors. The position deviation correction model can predict and correct shooting point deviations caused by weak positioning signals.

[0095] In a further embodiment, training an AI image recognition model using historical inspection photos and annotation information includes the following steps:

[0096] Build a deep learning model; divide historical inspection photos and annotation information into training set, validation set and test set according to pre-set ratios.

[0097] Use the training set data to train the deep learning model, use the performance of the validation set to adjust hyperparameters such as learning rate and batch size, and use the test set to evaluate the performance of the deep learning model and make necessary adjustments.

[0098] In a further embodiment, building a deep learning model comprises the following steps:

[0099] Select a basic model architecture for image recognition, such as ResNet, Inception, or VGG, and design several convolutional layers to extract image features. Each convolutional layer is followed by an activation function. At the same time, pooling layers are added between convolutional layers to reduce the spatial dimension of the features and increase the invariance to image displacement.

[0100] Use the target detection algorithm (such as RPN, SSD or YOLO) to generate target candidate regions and adjust the candidate regions of different sizes to a uniform size.

[0101] Construct several fully connected layers, followed by activation functions, to classify the candidate regions.

[0102] Construct a network structure for bounding box regression, which usually includes several fully connected layers to predict the position and size of the bounding box, and define the classification loss function and regression loss function.

[0103] In a further embodiment, training the position deviation correction model using historical inspection photos, original position information, and actual shooting point information includes the following steps:

[0104] Get image features from historical inspection photos.

[0105] Extract position deviation information from the original position information and the actual shooting point information.

[0106] The image features are matched with the position deviation information to form training samples, and each sample contains the image features and the corresponding position deviation label.

[0107] Initialize the support vector machine model and set the penalty factor and kernel function parameters.

[0108] Search for the optimal combination of penalty factor and kernel function parameters based on the optimization algorithm.

[0109] The support vector machine model is set using the optimized parameter combination and trained using training samples so that the model can learn the relationship between image features and position deviations, and the support vector machine model is cross-validated.

[0110] Specifically, a cross-validation method was used to evaluate the stability and accuracy of the model. The model parameters were adjusted until satisfactory performance was obtained on an independent validation set.

[0111] In a further embodiment, searching for an optimal combination of penalty factor and kernel function parameters based on an optimization algorithm comprises the following steps:

[0112] Set the optimization algorithm parameters such as population size, number of iterations, and step size.

[0113] Define the fitness function, determine the search range of the penalty factor and kernel function parameters, and create the initial population.

[0114] For each individual, the current penalty factor and kernel function parameters are used to train and validate the support vector machine model, and the fitness function value is calculated.

[0115] The position of the individual is updated according to the fitness value, so that the individual moves to a position where the error is less than a preset threshold or away from a position where the error is greater than a preset threshold.

[0116] Enable individuals to perform global search and local search.

[0117] The position where the error is less than the preset threshold or the position where the error is greater than the preset threshold is updated according to the fitness value.

[0118] Repeat the iteration until the stopping condition is met, such as reaching the maximum number of iterations or the fitness is no longer significantly improved, and select the penalty factor and kernel function parameters corresponding to the individual with the best fitness value as the optimal solution.

[0119] In a further embodiment, the formula of the fitness function is:

[0120]

[0121] In the formula, F represents the fitness value; N represents the total number of samples; Y i Represents the actual position deviation of the i-th sample; Represents the predicted position deviation of the i-th sample.

[0122] S3. Based on the scheduled route inspection, the position deviation correction model is used to correct the shooting points of the drone.

[0123] In a further embodiment, based on the scheduled route inspection, correcting the shooting position of the drone using the position deviation correction model includes the following steps:

[0124] S31. Use geographic information system (GIS) to plan routes and set the navigation path of the drone to ensure coverage of all inspection areas.

[0125] S32. Use enhanced global positioning systems (such as RTK-GPS) to improve positioning accuracy.

[0126] S33. Using the position deviation correction model, the shooting position of the drone is corrected in real time, and the shooting position is accurately aligned with the target device.

[0127] Among them, the GIS is a system used to capture, store, analyze and manage geospatial data. It combines computer hardware, software and spatial data to solve complex planning and management problems. The Enhanced Global Positioning System is a system that improves the positioning accuracy of the Global Positioning System through external information sources (such as ground reference stations and communication networks). The positioning accuracy is improved by using differential technology.

[0128] S4. Based on the AI ​​image recognition model, adjust the angle and position of the drone during shooting to ensure that the target device is in the center of the picture and shoot from multiple angles.

[0129] In a further embodiment, based on the AI ​​image recognition model, adjusting the angle and position of the drone during shooting to ensure that the target device is in the center of the picture and performing multi-angle shooting includes the following steps:

[0130] S41. Use AI image recognition models to identify target equipment in transmission lines, such as towers and insulators, in real time, and use target tracking algorithms to track the location and movement trajectory of target equipment.

[0131] S42. Automatically adjust the shooting angle and position of the drone according to the position and movement trajectory of the target device, ensure that the target device is located in the center of the picture, and perform multi-angle shooting.

[0132] S5. Obtain inspection images and location information of target equipment taken from multiple angles, and use the trained AI image recognition model to automatically detect defects in the image and mark them. The specific steps include:

[0133] Use the trained AI image recognition model to analyze the features in the inspection images of the target equipment to detect defects in the images.

[0134] If a defect is detected, the location of the defect is determined and marked on the image, usually including the defect type, size, location and other relevant information.

[0135] The process of determining the defect type is as follows:

[0136] The defect feature vector set extracted from the image is F = [f 1 , f 2 , ..., f a , ..., f m ], f a is the ath defect feature vector in the defect feature vector set, a=1,2,3,...,m, m is the total number of defect feature vectors, and each defect feature vector has a different weight w a .

[0137] Get the feature vector set of the b-th defect stored in the database as Gb =[g b1 , g b2 , ..., g bc , ..., g bN ],g bc is the cth defect feature vector in the feature vector set of the bth defect stored in the database, c=1,2,3,...N, N is the total number of defect feature vectors, where c corresponds to a, and m=N.

[0138]

[0139] In the formula, σ a is the scale parameter for normalizing the distance, which can be determined using the standard deviation of each feature component in the training data set, and e is a natural constant.

[0140] The defect type with the highest similarity is taken as the final judgment result:

[0141]

[0142] Where haty is the defect type with the highest similarity score.
