[0064] The present invention is further configured that step S2 specifically includes:

[0065] The edge features and structural features of the power equipment are extracted from the input image data through a deep feature detection algorithm, wherein the edge features E are extracted through the shallow convolution layer of the deep convolution network, and the structural features S are extracted through the deep convolution layer; specifically, the edge features and structural features of the image are extracted through the different hierarchical features of the deep convolutional neural network (CNN), respectively, in order to achieve a comprehensive description and accurate detection of the power equipment. The shallow convolution layer focuses on low-level visual features, including edges, corners and textures, which are particularly critical for capturing the contours or boundaries of the equipment. The deep convolution layer focuses on high-level semantic information, including complex shapes, patterns or textures, which are used to describe the internal structure or surface characteristics of the power equipment. The convolution kernel slides on the image, and specific low-level features are extracted by calculating the dot product between the convolution kernel and the local area of ​​the image. The subsequent layers of the deep convolution network learn more complex semantic information through more convolution operations based on the shallow features. The edge features extracted through the shallow convolution layer can effectively capture the geometric contours of the power equipment, providing a basis for the target positioning and detection of the equipment. By extracting structural features through deep convolutional layers, the complex texture and semantic information of the device surface can be accurately described, providing support for subsequent defect detection and classification.

[0066] The edge feature E is optimized based on the gradient direction to obtain an enhanced edge feature E′; the present invention is further configured to optimize the edge feature E based on the gradient direction, and the optimization logic is: Among them, α is the enhancement coefficient, which is used to control the degree of enhancement of edge features by gradient optimization. is the synergistic variation term of image gradient and edge feature; specifically, the edge feature E is enhanced by optimizing the gradient direction to generate a more significant edge feature E′.

The enhancement coefficient α is used to control the enhancement amplitude of the gradient optimization, and its value range is [0.1, 2.0]. By enhancing the edge features through gradient optimization, the boundary is made more significant in a complex background, thereby improving the accuracy of device detection.

[0067] According to the enhanced edge feature E′ and the structural feature S, the global feature G of the power equipment is generated by the feature joint optimization formula; the feature joint optimization formula is: G = γ·E′ + ∫ Ω β(x,y)·Sdxdy, where γ is the weight coefficient of the edge feature, Ω is the spatial area of ​​the image data, and β(x,y) is the spatial distribution weight of the structural feature S. is the gradient of the structural feature S at the coordinate (x, y); specifically, the weight coefficient γ of the edge feature is used to reflect the importance of the edge feature in the global feature, and its value range is [0.5, 2.0]. Ω β(x,y)·Sdxdy performs weighted accumulation on the spatial distribution of the structural feature S. By regional weighting, important areas are highlighted, including areas with device defects or high texture intensity, and irrelevant areas are reduced. By fusing edge features and structural features, the global features can accurately describe the geometric contour of the device and reflect the surface texture characteristics of the device.

[0068] The closed area formed by the edge feature E is set as the target area of ​​the power equipment.

The adaptive feature matrix clusters the pixels in the target area and divides the feature values ​​of the target area into multiple categories. Each pixel is assigned a weight according to its similarity with the feature center of each category, thereby generating a feature matrix containing spatial weight information, ∥F surface (x,y)-μ k ∥ 2 is the Euclidean distance between the pixel value and the feature center, indicating the similarity between the pixel and the category, π k(x, y) represents the weight of a pixel belonging to a certain category. The sum of all category weights is 1. The weight of each pixel is calculated based on the distance between its eigenvalue and the K feature centers. The closer the distance, the greater the weight. The adaptive feature matrix combines the feature center of each category with the corresponding weight through weighted summation.

T To optimize the operation, we search for a transformation matrix that can minimize the difference in feature matrices. Through alignment operations, we eliminate the effects of displacement and rotation in the image data, so that global features at different time periods can be compared in a unified reference coordinate system.
