To ensure the reliability of the power grid, in the prior art, manual inspections, infrared thermal imaging detections, visible light image analyses, etc. are generally used to detect defects in main substation equipment.

[0042] For the convenience of understanding, the following explanations are made for the related concepts involved in the embodiments of the present application first:

[0043] Augmented Reality (AR): It is a technology that superimposes virtual information (such as images, sounds, texts, 3D models, etc.) on the environment and presents it to the user in real time through a device. In the embodiments of the present application, the AR technology is used to superimpose the defects of the main substation equipment on the 3D model of the main substation equipment and display the detected defects to the user in real time.

[0044] The above are some of the related concepts involved in the embodiments of this application.

[0045] In order to solve the problem that the existing technology relies on a single type of sensor or a simple image analysis algorithm for defect detection, and the recognition accuracy is low when there are small defects or hidden defects in the equipment, the present application proposes an image fusion defect detection method, which includes: the defect detection device collects multi-source image data and laser radar data of the substation main equipment through multiple sensors, and the multi-source image data contains the defect information of the substation main equipment; pre-processes the multi-source image data to enhance the defect information; fuses the pre-processed multi-source image data into a multi-source fusion image through an image fusion algorithm, and the multi-source fusion image is obtained by superimposing different images in the multi-source image data based on weights; analyzes the multi-source fusion image through a deep learning model to obtain the defect information; generates a three-dimensional model of the substation main equipment based on the multi-source image data and the laser radar data, and superimposes the defect information on the three-dimensional model based on augmented reality AR. Among them, through the combination of data collected by multiple sensors, the defect detection equipment can comprehensively detect the substation main equipment from different dimensions to ensure that no potential defects are missed.

[0046] The following describes the image fusion defect detection method, device and readable storage medium involved in the embodiments of the present application through Examples 1 to 3. Among them, Example 1 is used to describe the image fusion defect detection method; Example 2 is used to describe the image fusion defect detection device; Example 3 is used to describe the image fusion defect detection readable storage medium.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] For example, Figure 1 A method flow chart of a defect detection method is shown, which specifically includes:

[0049] S101. Collect data based on multiple sensors.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the defect detection device uses a variety of sensors to collect data from the main substation equipment at multiple angles and in multiple modes. The multiple sensors include, but are not limited to, high-definition cameras, infrared thermal imagers, depth cameras, and laser radars. The collected data include multi-source image data and laser radar data. The multi-source image data include visible light images, infrared thermal imaging images, and depth images. The multi-source image data contains defect information of the main substation equipment.

[0051] Exemplarily, multiple sensors in the defect detection device work simultaneously. Different types of sensors can capture different-dimensional information of the main power transformation equipment, providing a comprehensive information source. Specifically, a high-definition camera is used to capture visible light images on the surface of the main power transformation equipment to provide detailed information on the appearance of the main power transformation equipment; an infrared thermal imager is used to detect the surface temperature of the main power transformation equipment. Especially when the main power transformation equipment overheats due to a fault, the temperature on the surface of the main power transformation equipment has a significant anomaly; a depth camera and a lidar are used to obtain three-dimensional spatial data of the main power transformation equipment, and the three-dimensional spatial data is used to construct the shape and surface of the main power transformation equipment in the AR space.

[0052] It should be noted that this multi-source data acquisition method can obtain information on the main power transformation equipment from different dimensions and angles, avoiding the limitations of using only a single sensor. For example, by jointly using an infrared thermal imager and a high-definition camera, an infrared thermal image and a visible light image are obtained. Analyzing the combination of the infrared thermal image and the visible light image can effectively alleviate the adverse effects of different environmental conditions (such as low light or strong light) on the judgment of defects on the main power transformation equipment, improving the accuracy of defect detection on the main power transformation equipment. Another example is that by jointly using a lidar and a depth camera, lidar data and a depth image are obtained. Analyzing the combination of the lidar data and the depth image can obtain the three-dimensional structure and surface structure of the main power transformation equipment, thereby identifying and locating defects that cannot be captured by traditional imaging techniques.

[0053] S102. Preprocess the collected multi-source image data.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the defect detection device preprocesses the multi-source image data collected in step S101. The preprocessing steps include denoising, image alignment, color correction, and image enhancement. Among them, denoising is used to remove noise in the multi-source image data and improve the clarity of the multi-source image data; image alignment is used to place the multi-source image data under the same coordinates; color correction is used to ensure that the colors of the multi-source image data from different sources are consistent; image enhancement is used to highlight the details on the surface of the main power transformation equipment in the multi-source image data.

[0055] It should be noted that preprocessing can significantly improve the quality of multi-source image data, especially when facing different sensors, because different transmitters are each set with different parameters, and the obtained multi-source image data has differences. Among them, image alignment and color correction can ensure the consistency of multi-source image data in spatial position and visual color; denoising and image enhancement can highlight the defect areas in the multi-source image data, improving the accuracy of the defect detection algorithm. Especially when facing tiny defects or blurred defects, the tiny defects or blurred defects in the multi-source image data are more obvious in the enhanced image.

[0056] S103. Fuse multi-source image data into a multi-source fused image.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, the image fusion algorithm includes determining the weights of images from different sources based on image quality, sensor characteristics, and defect characteristics, and fusing the images from different sources according to the weights to generate a fused image.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present application, the defect detection device fuses the preprocessed multi-source image data into a multi-source fused image through the image fusion algorithm. The multi-source fused image is obtained by superimposing different images in the multi-source image data based on weights and is used for subsequent defect detection. Among them, the defect detection device can adjust the weights of different images in each multi-source image data based on the characteristics of different sensors and the acquisition environment.

[0059] Specifically, the defect detection device aligns the spaces of different images in the multi-source image data through the image fusion algorithm, fuses different image data, and the fused multi-source fused image satisfies the complementarity of the image data of each sensor and maximizes the contribution of the image data. For example, an infrared thermal imager captures an infrared thermal image, which contains the temperature information of the main substation equipment, and a high-definition camera captures a visible light image, which contains the surface details of the main substation equipment. When the infrared thermal image and the visible light image are fused, based on the shooting quality of these two image data and the state of the sensor, the most valuable image data is preferentially selected to form a clear and information-rich multi-source fused image.

[0060] It should be noted that through dynamic adjustment based on the image fusion algorithm, the defect detection device can adapt to different acquisition environments and automatically optimize the quality of image fusion. Especially for complex scenarios, such as scenarios with large light changes or complex environmental backgrounds, the defect detection device can obtain the optimal image data fusion, while complementing the image data collected by different sensors and reducing the problems of image distortion or information loss caused by a single sensor.

[0061] S104. Analyze the multi-source fused image to obtain defect information.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, the defect detection device analyzes the multi-source fused image through a deep learning model to obtain defect information. Among them, the deep learning model includes a convolutional neural network CNN. The deep learning model is used to determine the defect type, defect location, and defect severity of the main substation equipment. The defect type includes but is not limited to cracks, corrosion, overheating, and surface damage.

[0063] Specifically, the defect detection device uses a deep learning model to analyze multi-source fusion images. Among them, the deep learning model can adopt the training method of convolutional neural network CNN to learn and identify various defects on the surface of the main substation equipment from a large amount of training data, such as cracks, corrosion, scratches, etc. The deep learning model obtains the defects in the multi-source fusion image by extracting multi-layer features, including the type of the defect and the position and size of the defect in the multi-source fusion image. At the same time, the deep learning model can adapt to the complex geometric shapes and various environmental conditions on the surface of the main substation equipment and has the ability to accurately identify tiny defects.

[0064] It should be noted that the defect detection of the main substation equipment by the deep learning model no longer relies on artificial rules or simple image processing methods, but detects the defects of the main substation equipment by learning the defect features in various environments. This method improves the accuracy and intelligence level of defect detection. Especially when dealing with tiny defects or defects with complex shapes that are difficult to identify by traditional methods, this method can quickly and accurately obtain these defects. At the same time, the deep learning model can also obtain the defect position in the main substation equipment, and this defect position is used to indicate the equipment maintenance personnel to quickly know the defect and reduce the time spent on maintenance work.

[0065] S105. Generate a 3D model and superimpose the defect information.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the defect detection device generates a 3D model of the main substation equipment based on multi-source image data and lidar data, and superimposes the defect information on the 3D model based on AR technology to provide intuitive defect display and repair guidance for the equipment maintenance personnel.

[0067] Specifically, the defect detection device generates a 3D model of the main substation equipment based on lidar data and depth images. The 3D model is used to indicate the geometric shape of the main substation equipment and provide specific spatial information of the main substation equipment for the equipment maintenance personnel. At the same time, based on AR technology, the defect detection device superimposes the defect information of the main substation equipment into the 3D model. The equipment maintenance personnel can view the 3D model of the main substation equipment through the AR device to obtain the defects on the surface of the main substation equipment, as well as the spatial position, size and repair method of the defect.

[0068] In some embodiments, AR technology is used to support the equipment maintenance personnel to remotely diagnose the main substation equipment and repair the defects of the main substation equipment with remote assistance. Among them, the defect detection device also includes a repair plan and steps for displaying the defects on the main substation equipment through AR technology.

[0069] It should be noted that the 3D model of the main substation equipment can display the defects of the equipment more intuitively and accurately compared with the traditional 2D images, and can also help equipment maintenance personnel understand the structure and defect location of the main substation equipment. The defect detection equipment realizes precise defect visualization through AR technology. Equipment maintenance personnel can view the location and size of the defects of the main substation equipment in the AR interface, so as to quickly locate the defect area of the main substation equipment and repair it. Through AR technology, the repair operation of the defects of the main substation equipment by equipment maintenance personnel can be more intuitive and efficient, avoiding the problems of incorrect repair and missed repair in the traditional method.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the defect detection equipment can also judge the severity of the defect by quantitatively evaluating the identified defect.

[0071] Specifically, the defect detection equipment extracts multiple features from the defect area, including the size, shape, edge sharpness, texture change, etc. of the defect, and calculates the weights of these features through a preset evaluation model to obtain the severity score of the defect area. The defect detection equipment sorts the defect areas based on the severity score to determine the priority of repairing the defect areas.

[0072] In some embodiments, the defect detection equipment can also compare the 3D model with the superimposed defect information with the standard equipment model to verify the authenticity of the defect, thus avoiding misjudgment or missed judgment. The standard equipment model is the 3D model of the main substation equipment without defect areas.

[0073] Exemplarily, based on Figure 1 the shown step S102, Figure 2 shows a flowchart of a method for preprocessing multi-source image data, which specifically includes:

[0074] S201. Denoising processing.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the denoising processing can eliminate the environmental noise in the multi-source image data, enhance the defect information, and improve the quality of the multi-source image data. Among them, the defect detection equipment uses a filtering algorithm to remove the noise in the image and improve the clarity of the image.

[0076] S202. Image alignment.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the image alignment is used to align the multi-source image data from different sensors to the same coordinate to ensure the consistency of the spatial information of each multi-source image data. Among them, the defect detection equipment performs spatial alignment on the images collected by different sensors so that they are in the same coordinate for subsequent fusion.

[0078] S203. Color correction.

[0079] In the embodiments of the present application, color correction is used to eliminate color differences caused by different sensors or lighting conditions, ensuring the color consistency of multi-source image data from different sources after fusion. Among them, the defect detection device performs color correction on the images collected by different sensors to ensure that the colors of the images from different sources are consistent.

[0080] S204. Image enhancement.

[0081] In the embodiments of the present application, image enhancement is used to enhance the contrast and sharpen the details of multi-source image data, highlighting the details on the surface of the main substation equipment in the multi-source image data, thereby highlighting possible defect areas and assisting subsequent defect detection. Among them, the defect detection device uses contrast enhancement and edge sharpening image enhancement methods to highlight the details on the surface of the main substation equipment and improve the detection accuracy of defects.

[0082] Exemplarily, based on Figure 1 the S103 step shown, Figure 3 the following shows a flowchart of a method for fusing multi-source image data into multi-source fused images, which specifically includes:

[0083] S301. Adjust the weights of image sources.

[0084] In the embodiments of the present application, when fusing multi-source image data, the defect detection device will automatically adjust the weights of each image source according to the characteristics of different sensors and the acquisition environment. For a specific description of the defect detection device adjusting the weights of image sources, reference can be made to the S103 step described above Figure 1 and will not be elaborated here.

[0085] S302. Optimize the quality of image fusion through an image fusion algorithm.

[0086] In the embodiments of the present application, for a specific description of the defect detection device dynamically adjusting through an image fusion algorithm to optimize the quality of image fusion, reference can be made to the S103 step described above Figure 1 and will not be elaborated here.

[0087] Exemplarily, based on Figure 1 the S104 step shown, Figure 4 the following shows a flowchart of a method for analyzing multi-source fused images to obtain defect information, which specifically includes:

[0088] S401. Extract multiple image features.

[0089] In an embodiment of the present application, the deep learning model includes an image defect quality assessment algorithm. Based on this image defect quality assessment algorithm, the deep learning model in the defect detection device extracts multiple image features from the detected image defect area. The image features include the area of the image defect area, the sharpness of the edge of the image defect area, the regularity of the shape of the image defect area, and the surface texture of the image defect area.

[0090] It should be noted that the features such as the area of the above image defect area, the sharpness of the edge of the image defect area, the regularity of the shape of the image defect area, and the surface texture of the image defect area are the basic attributes for describing the defect. These basic attributes of the defect are important data for subsequent defect assessment.

[0091] S402. Calculate the severity of the image defect.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present application, the deep learning model calculates a severity score by combining the extracted image features with the geometric attributes and surface features of the image defect area. The severity score is used to divide the severity level of the image defect area.

[0093] It should be noted that the severity score comprehensively considers factors such as the area of the defect, the symmetry of the defect shape, and the edge clarity, etc., and is used for quantitative evaluation of the defect, so as to divide the defect into multiple severity levels.

[0094] S403. Judge the authenticity of the image defect.

[0095] In an embodiment of the present application, the deep learning model excludes false detections caused by factors such as light, shadow, and noise by comparing with a standard device model, and determines the image defect area of the real damage.

[0096] It should be noted that the deep learning model compares and analyzes the shape of the defect area with the shape of the corresponding area in the standard device model to determine whether the detected defect is an actual defect.

[0097] S404. Sort the image defects.

[0098] In an embodiment of the present application, the deep learning model sorts the image defect areas of real damage based on the severity score in descending order, and assigns repair priorities from high to low in turn. The repair priority is used to indicate the processing order of the image defect area.

[0099] It should be noted that the equipment maintenance personnel can determine the processing order in the maintenance work according to the repair priority order of the image defect area, optimize the maintenance work process and improve the efficiency.

[0100] Exemplarily, based on Figure 1The step S105 shown Figure 5 shows a flowchart of a method for analyzing multi-source fusion images to obtain defect information, specifically including:

[0101] S501. Generate a 3D model.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present application, the defect detection device generates a 3D model of the main substation equipment based on multi-source image data and lidar data. The multi-source image data is a depth image, and the 3D model includes the geometric shape and surface features indicating the main substation equipment.

[0103] S502. Overlay defect information.

[0104] In the embodiment of the present application, the defect detection device overlays the defect information on the 3D model based on AR technology. The 3D model with the overlaid defect information is used to indicate the spatial position of the defect that the equipment maintenance personnel can see through the AR device.
