[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] See also Figure 1 , which shows a flow chart of a cable defect analysis method during the cable laying process of the present application.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the cable defect analysis method during cable laying specifically includes the following steps:

[0029] Step S101 , obtaining current data of each monitoring position of the cable, and sorting each current data based on the monitoring position to obtain a current data sequence, wherein each current data in the current data sequence is associated with the corresponding monitoring position.

[0030] In this step, current data at each monitoring position of the cable is obtained; the current data at each monitoring position is sorted along the length direction of the cable to obtain a current data sequence.

[0031] Step S102 : dividing the current data sequence according to a preset data division strategy to obtain at least one current data subsequence, and acquiring cable images at different monitoring positions according to the at least one current data subsequence.

[0032] In this step, a preset sliding window is slid on the current data sequence. Each time it slides, it is judged whether a certain current data in the sliding window is greater than a preset threshold, wherein the sliding window only contains one current data each time it slides; if it is greater than the preset threshold, the certain current data is used as the cutoff current data, and all current data between two adjacent cutoff current data are divided into the same current data subsequence to obtain at least one current data subsequence; if it is not greater than the preset threshold, it is continued to judge whether another current data in the next sliding window is greater than the preset threshold until the judgment of all current data in the current data sequence is completed to obtain at least one current data subsequence; and the cable image of the monitoring position corresponding to each cutoff current in each current data subsequence is obtained.

[0033] Step S103 , preprocessing the cable image to obtain a target cable image, and segmenting the target cable image into a cable outline and a background area to obtain a cable outline image.

[0034] In this step, the cable image is denoised to obtain a target cable image; a preset dynamic sliding window is slid on the edge of the target cable image, and each time it slides, the regional edge features in the dynamic sliding window are compared with the set features for similarity; at least one regional edge feature with a similarity greater than a preset threshold is used as a cable edge feature, and it is determined whether the ratio of the cable edge feature in the current dynamic sliding window to all features in the current dynamic sliding window is greater than a preset ratio threshold; if it is greater than the preset ratio threshold, the size of the current dynamic sliding window is reduced to a preset size; if it is not greater than the preset ratio threshold, the size of the current dynamic sliding window is not reduced to the preset size; the cable edge features in each dynamic sliding window are connected to obtain a cable contour, and a cable contour image containing the cable contour is determined.

[0035] It should be noted that, by judging whether the ratio of the cable edge features in the current dynamic sliding window to all the features in the current dynamic sliding window is greater than the preset ratio threshold each time sliding, if it is greater than the preset ratio threshold, the size of the current dynamic sliding window is reduced to the preset size, which can reduce the processing amount of feature recognition while obtaining the complete cable contour as much as possible.

[0036] Step S104: Calculate the cable area based on the cable contour image and extract cable surface features.

[0037] In this step, the cable surface features are obtained and compared with the set feature interval; it is determined whether the cable surface features belong to the set feature interval; if they belong to the set feature interval, normalization processing is performed to obtain the optimized cable surface features; if they do not belong to the set feature interval, they are determined to be interference features, the interference features are eliminated, and the optimized cable surface features are obtained.

[0038] Step S105 , analyzing the cable surface features based on the set noise threshold, eliminating the noise features, and obtaining optimized cable surface features.

[0039] Step S106: Analyze the optimized cable surface characteristics based on the defect detection model and output surface defect information.

[0040] In this step, a training set is established based on historical defect analysis data, and the initial model is iteratively trained according to the training set to obtain training results; it is determined whether the training results have converged; if so, a defect detection model is generated, and the optimized cable surface features are input into the defect detection model to obtain surface defect information; if not, adjustment parameters are generated; and the model parameters are adjusted according to the adjustment parameters until the initial model converges.

[0041] In summary, the method of the present application forms a sequence by sorting the current data of each monitoring position of the cable by position, and divides the data subsequences based on a preset strategy to associate the cable images of different monitoring positions. It combines image preprocessing, contour segmentation, region calculation and surface feature extraction, and finally eliminates noise features by setting a noise threshold and uses the defect detection model to analyze the optimized surface features, thereby realizing automated and precise detection of cable defects. It can efficiently output key information such as defect location, type and severity, significantly improve the accuracy and real-time performance of defect detection, reduce the cost of manual inspection and the risk of missed detection, and provide reliable protection for the safe operation of the cable.

[0044] Among them, the sorting module 210 is configured to obtain current data of each monitoring position of the cable within a preset time period, and sort each current data based on the monitoring position to obtain a current data sequence, wherein each current data in the current data sequence is associated with the corresponding monitoring position; the division module 220 is configured to divide the current data sequence according to a preset data division strategy to obtain at least one current data subsequence, and obtain cable images of different monitoring positions based on the at least one current data subsequence; the segmentation module 230 is configured to preprocess the cable image to obtain an enhanced cable image, and segment the enhanced cable image into a cable contour and a background area to obtain a cable contour image; the calculation module 240 is configured to calculate the cable area based on the cable contour image and extract the cable surface features; the optimization module 250 is configured to analyze the cable surface features based on a set noise threshold, eliminate the noise features, and obtain the optimized cable surface features; the analysis module 260 is configured to analyze the optimized cable surface features based on the defect detection model and output surface defect information.
