[0002] Currently, the recognition accuracy of meter readings of photovoltaic booster station equipment is insufficient, and the recognition accuracy of most meter readings is lower than 80%.

[0003] Due to insufficient training samples, as well as the influence of the booster station environment, such as insufficient lighting, the shooting angle of inspection robots, overexposure and other problems, the quality of the captured photos is poor, which affects the recognition accuracy of meter readings.

[0004] In addition, the meter readings of different booster station equipment are diverse. Usually, a specific model needs to be designed for a specific type of meter (digital display screen), and the model is iteratively updated offline. The degree of popularization and application is limited.

[0005] Existing implementation technologies: Chinese patent applications with application numbers CN202011364877.0 and CN202111223903.2 can only realize the recognition of meter readings in a single scenario. For the recognition of meter readings in a new scenario, a sufficient amount of labeled pictures need to be obtained to reconstruct the model. This reconstruction method is time-consuming. It is impossible to obtain a sufficient amount of labeled pictures in the early stage, and the newly constructed model in the new scenario has problems of insufficient generalization ability and poor accuracy.

[0011] Step 4) Based on the fusion scenario meter reading recognition model, realize the recognition of meter readings including the source domain and the target domain.

[0012] Preferably, the method includes, before step 1), training the established meter recognition model in the source domain with a large number of labeled pictures in the source domain to obtain a trained established meter recognition model.

[0013] Preferably, the large number of labeled pictures in the source domain is at least two orders of magnitude more than the small number of labeled pictures in the target domain.

[0014] Preferably, the method further includes:

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0023] The present invention can realize the transfer and expansion ability of the source domain model, and avoid the problems that the model cannot be constructed due to the lack of labeled data in the target domain or the poor accuracy of the newly built model.

[0026] The ability to enhance meter reading recognition by the transfer learning technology of the present invention is a method that uses the mature meter recognition ability and knowledge of the "source field" (established meter reading recognition scenarios with a large number of labeled pictures) to help the "target field" (newly added meter reading recognition scenarios with a small number of labeled pictures) learn internal scene features, as well as the similarity and correlation features between the source field and the target field, and constructs a meter reading recognition model for the new scene to achieve accurate recognition of meter readings in the new scene.

[0027] The method of the present invention includes:

[0028] Step 0) Training the established meter recognition model in the source field with a large number of labeled pictures in the source field to obtain a trained established meter recognition model.

[0029] Step 1) Based on the established meter recognition model in the source field, using the transfer learning method, training the newly built meter recognition model in the target field with a small number of labeled pictures in the target field;

[0030] Step 2) Inputting pictures in the target field into the newly built meter recognition model to obtain newly recognized labeled pictures, and then performing enhanced training on the newly built meter recognition model to obtain an enhanced newly built meter recognition model;

[0031] Step 3) Using the transfer learning method, training the integrated scene meter reading recognition model with the scene labeled pictures in the source field and the target field;

[0032] Step 4) Based on the integrated scene meter reading recognition model, realizing the recognition of meter readings including those in the source field and the target field.

[0033] The large number of labeled pictures in the source field mentioned above includes at least more than 1000 in quantity. The small number of labeled pictures in the target field refers to a scenario with less than 10 or almost none, and the two differ by at least more than 2 orders of magnitude.

[0034] The system consists of an image receiving module, a meter reading recognition module, and a result display module. The specific structure is as Figure 1 shown.

[0035] (1) The image receiving module mainly realizes the reception of meter reading pictures.

[0037] The training process includes:

[0039] B. Train and construct a meter reading recognition model for the fusion scenario

[0040] C. Train and construct a meter reading recognition model for the new scenario.

[0041] Referring to the above figure, the specific process is described as follows:

[0042] ·a. In the source domain, based on a large number of labeled images in different scenarios, use the established meter reading recognition model to implement the transfer learning method.

[0043] ·b. In the target domain, select 1 new meter (digital display screen) reading recognition scenario. Based on a small number of labeled images, use the transfer learning method to expand the training of the established model to achieve the training and construction of the new meter reading recognition model. It mainly includes: based on the limited labeled meter reading images in the new scenario, use the transfer learning method to extract the source domain features and the transfer features of the target domain, and measure the similarity relationship between the source scenario and the new scenario, and fine-tune the training to obtain a new meter reading recognition model.

[0044] ·c. Based on the scenario images in the source domain and the target domain, use the transfer learning method to achieve the training and construction of the meter reading recognition model for the fusion scenario. The new transfer learning model supports the recognition of the meter reading model in the new scenario.

[0045] ·d. In the target domain scenario, the target domain images can be input, and the meter reading of the target domain images can be recognized using the newly established meter reading recognition model.

[0046] ·e. During the application process in the target domain scenario, new images can be recognized and labeled through the new transfer learning model. The new images can be used to enhance the training of the newly established meter reading recognition model, improve the recognition accuracy of the transfer learning model for the meter reading images in the target domain, achieve the scenario transfer of the source model, and weaken the problem of insufficient labeled samples in the new scenario.

[0047] ·f. In the new scenario transfer learning, based on the established meter reading recognition model for the fusion scenario, referring to steps a, b, and c, use the transfer learning method to achieve the training and construction of the meter reading recognition model for the new scenario.

[0048] (3) The result shows that the model realizes the display of the labeled images for meter reading recognition.
