Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fully automatic verification production lines for electricity meters, and particularly to an intelligent vision detection method and system for electricity meters. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing, the production and quality inspection of electricity meters are gradually shifting towards intelligence and automation. Traditional electricity meters usually rely on manual inspection, and the inspection process is not only cumbersome but also easily affected by human factors, resulting in a decline in detection efficiency and result quality. In recent years, intelligent detection methods for electricity meters based on computer vision and machine learning technologies have gradually been applied, realizing the integration of functions such as image recognition and data analysis. These technologies automatically detect the appearance and character information of electricity meters through a multi-camera system and a deep learning model, greatly improving production efficiency and detection accuracy. However, there are still some deficiencies in the existing technologies in practical applications. For example, when facing complex environments and diverse electricity meter shapes, traditional detection systems have insufficient accurate positioning and recognition capabilities, easily resulting in misjudgments and missed detections, leading to the outflow of qualified products. In addition, it is not closely combined with the electrical testing of electricity meters, often causing information barriers in the inspection link, unable to achieve a comprehensive assessment of the state of electricity meters, and increasing the difficulty of subsequent maintenance.
[0003] In addition, most existing intelligent vision detection systems lack real-time dynamic adjustment capabilities, making it difficult to respond promptly when changes occur during the detection process. For the positioning and height adjustment of trays, although some systems have introduced laser sensors, they still face problems such as inaccurate ranging and data processing delays in complex production environments, resulting in an extended detection cycle. More importantly, the current detection methods for electricity meters often collect and process data independently, lacking an effective self-check mechanism and unable to quickly discover potential problems within the system, reducing the reliability and flexibility of the production system. These deficiencies significantly affect the production quality and efficiency of electricity meters, and there is an urgent need for a new detection method to achieve more efficient and accurate detection of electricity meters.

[0055] Example 1, referring to Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an intelligent vision detection method for an electric energy meter, including:
[0056] S1: Monitor the in-place status of the fully compatible tray in real time and automatically adjust it to the optimal recognition height.
[0057] Furthermore, when the tray enters the detection area, the laser sensor starts to scan the height of the tray and transmits the real-time data to the control system. The control system processes the data to determine whether the tray has reached the preset height. If not, the cylinder is automatically adjusted to gradually raise the tray, and the scanning is repeated until the standard height is reached.
[0058] After the laser sensor confirms that the tray has reached the target height, it takes a real-time image of the current tray through the multi-dimensional vision-guided camera and compares it with the preset template, calculates the displacement vector of the tray in real time, and controls the servo motor to automatically adjust the position of the tray until it is completely aligned with the target position.
[0059] S2: Use a high-precision positioning device to accurately position the tray; the control system starts the compatible wire connecting and disconnecting mechanism, completes the wiring with the electricity meter, and triggers the electro-measurement system to power on the electricity meter and light up the liquid crystal display screen.
[0060] Furthermore, after the wiring is completed, monitor the current passing through the connecting wire, analyze the current waveform in real time, and compare it with the current waveform in the normal working state; if the current is abnormal, the system automatically triggers an alarm and displays the corresponding fault information through the visual interface.
[0061] In the power-on process, an intelligent sequence control mechanism is adopted to power on step by step according to the predetermined sequence. First, connect the power supply and monitor the voltage stability, then connect each functional module in turn. The power-on time interval is automatically adjusted by the system. After the wiring is completed, the control system first starts the preliminary detection program to judge the wiring status and confirm or correct any abnormalities. After all modules are successfully started, an overall self-check is performed to ensure there are no errors.
[0062] S3: Introduce a spatial attention mechanism to perform automatic text box recognition. Detect the acquired image through the detection model and compare it with the standard template to judge the qualification of the electricity meter.
[0063] Furthermore, collect the image data of the electricity meter and label the text box area.
[0064] Using the optimized CRAFT model, the output layer only contains a heat map H, and the generation of the heat map H is expressed as:
[0065] H = f CRAFT (I)
[0066] where I is the input image, and f CRAFT represents the modified CRAFT model.
[0067] For the heat map H, threshold segmentation is used to obtain potential text regions and a binary mask M is output:
[0068]
[0069] where T is the set threshold.
[0070] A spatial attention mechanism SA is introduced, and its calculation is weighted according to the heat map, enabling the model to focus on key regions. The spatial attention output can be expressed as:
[0071] SA = σ(W sa ·H)
[0072] where, W sa is a learning parameter, and σ represents the Sigmoid activation function.
[0073] In addition, subsequent traditional image processing is optimized, and a region area screening mechanism is added. The entire model is fine-tuned on the PyTorch framework to train a model with better performance. Inference is performed using C++ and deployed on-site to improve the efficiency of the inference process.
[0074] Furthermore, a multi-camera system is used to capture the full-tray image of the electricity meter, obtaining an image containing multiple electricity meters. For each electricity meter, pixel distribution analysis is used to determine the region bounding box R(x, y, w, h), where x and y are the upper-left coordinates, w is the width, and h is the height. The cropped electricity meter image E i is:
[0075] E i = I[x:x+w, y:y+h]
[0076] where, I[x:x+w, y:y+h] is the region extracted from the input image I through the bounding box.
[0077] Each cropped image E i is processed using the trained detection model, and the heat map H i of the detection result is output:
[0078] H i = f detect (E i )
[0079] where, f detect is the trained detection model;
[0080] For the heat map H i , the existence of characters is determined through the threshold T i :
[0081]
[0082] Among them, C i,j is the character identifier detected at a certain coordinate.
[0083] Furthermore, through the detection by the detection model, when there is a situation of character loss or character omission, it automatically identifies and determines that the electric energy meter is unqualified; when all characters are recognized as qualified, it will judge that the electric meter is qualified;
[0084] Statistical character recognition results to obtain the quantity of the character area R c :
[0085]
[0086] During the process of the system determining unqualified, there are the following bases:
[0087] Judge whether the recognized characters meet the quantity requirement N min :
[0088] if R c <N min : Marked as unqualified
[0089] According to the integrity of the characters, if it is judged that there is a missing or incomplete drawing based on the output result of the heat map, it is determined as unqualified;
[0090] By synthesizing the results of the above detection models, the final determination is obtained:
[0091]
[0092] S4: The electrical measurement system is powered off and self - tested, the tray is reset and released, and the appearance inspection of the electric energy meter is completed.
[0093] Furthermore, after receiving the signal of completing the task, start the power - off program. First, cut off the non - critical load, and then gradually cut off the power of the critical module after the current is stable. After all modules are powered off, the system enters the self - test state:
[0094] Detect the integrity of the circuit through the firmware to confirm that no short - circuit or other problems occur.
[0095] Record the state before power - off, ensure that relevant data is automatically recorded, including any error codes or status information. Generate a self - test report and display the report to the operator through the control panel or system interface. If a critical error is found, trigger an alarm and stop the subsequent process.
[0096] After the self-check report confirms that everything is normal, a reset command is sent, and the tray automatically descends to the initial position through the servo motor system. Once the tray is in place, the control system locks the current position. After the reset is completed, a command is sent to the release control unit to confirm the tray that needs to be released for operation.
[0097] After the tray is released, the system generates an appearance inspection report, including the status analysis of each electricity meter, and at the same time records the image for archiving.
