[0057] The embodiment method will be described in detail below.

[0058] S1, acquiring meter images and meter internal information in the meter use process, and extracting meter external information from the meter images.

[0059] Specifically, it comprises the following steps.

[0060] S11, extracting local features in the meter image.

[0061] Further, specifically, it comprises the following steps.

[0062] ​S111, a CNN-LSTM hybrid architecture combining convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory network (LSTM) is adopted, and local features of the electric meter image are extracted by the convolutional neural network:

[0063] ;

[0064] wherein, represents the input electric meter image, the dimension is height H width W and the number of channels C. represents the local feature map output by the CNN, and the number of channels in this embodiment is 3.

[0065] The above method can extract local texture, edge and other low-level visual features of the electric meter image, which is convenient for subsequent image recognition work.

[0066] S112, after the local feature map output by the CNN is unfolded into a sequence feature according to the spatial position, the sequence feature is encoded by a bidirectional LSTM:

[0067] ;

[0068] wherein, represents the hidden state output at time step , which encodes the context information, and T represents the product of the length and width.

[0069] The above method is used to model the time sequence relationship between characters, and solves the problem that the characters are dislocated in space due to the inclination of the electric meter image caused by the shooting angle during shooting.

[0070] S12, dynamically focusing on the area related to characters in the electric meter image, for correcting the inclined character information, and suppressing the interference caused by the reflection during shooting on the character information extraction of the electric meter image.

[0071] Further, specifically:

[0072] S121, a spatial attention mechanism is established to solve the character inclination during shooting:

[0073] ;

[0074] ;

[0075] wherein, represents the local feature map position feature vector of the previous time step; hidden state of the previous time step; , denotes a weight matrix; v denotes a weight vector; denotes the unnormalized attention score of position in the local feature map ; denotes the unnormalized attention score of any position in the local feature map ; denotes the normalized spatial attention weight at position , reflecting the importance of the position feature; the weight value does not represent the degree of inclination of the character, but reflects the importance of a certain position in the ammeter image, for example to the key area detection, the greater the value, indicating that the area contains more relevant features, such as more text characters, etc., the smaller the value, indicating that the text character in the area is less.

[0076] The high-weight area usually contains features that can be used to detect the inclination, such as the edge of the ammeter, the corner point, etc., which need to be extracted from these areas in the subsequent through geometric analysis to extract the inclination angle and correct it, which can be achieved by Hough transform, etc. The above content in the embodiment is used to determine the inclination of the text character, and the inclined text character can be corrected through the prior art in the subsequent, which will not be described in detail here.

[0077] S122, a channel attention mechanism is established to suppress invalid high-frequency features caused by reflection and enhance useful channels:

[0078] ;

[0079] wherein, denotes global average pooling on the local feature map , outputting a C-dimensional vector; denotes the weight of the fully connected layer; denotes the channel attention weight of the cth channel; is an activation function.

[0080] S123, a dynamic feature enhancement formula is established to fuse spatial attention and channel attention for enhancing features in the ammeter image:

[0081] ;

[0082] wherein, denotes channel-wise multiplication; denotes the enhanced feature map, which has the same dimension as The same.

[0083] S13, compensate for overexposure of the reflective area, perform optical compensation on the feature-enhanced electric meter image to obtain a corrected electric meter image.

[0084] Further, specifically:

[0085] S131, suppress high-frequency details in the feature-enhanced electric meter image through a low-pass filter, and take the suppressed image as an ambient light intensity map; the ambient light intensity map reflects the global light distribution of the electric meter image and belongs to low-frequency information. After suppressing high-frequency details through a low-pass filter (such as a Gaussian filter), the remaining low-frequency components are the ambient light estimate.

[0086] S132, extract high-frequency components in the enhanced feature map through a high-pass filter method, denoted as .

[0087] S133, establish an optical property compensation formula:

[0088] ;

[0089] wherein, indicates an attenuation coefficient; indicates the electric meter image after optical compensation; and R is the ambient light intensity map.

[0090] In the above manner, the overexposure phenomenon of the reflective area in the electric meter image can be compensated for, and the original texture of the electric meter image can be restored, thereby helping to make subsequent image recognition more accurate.

[0091] S14, extract electric meter external information in the electric meter image after optical compensation.

[0092] Specifically, the electric meter external information mainly includes one or more of the accuracy level (such as 0.5S, 1.0 level, etc.), pulse constant (imp / kWh), production batch code, manufacturing unit information, calibration date and validity period, measurement license mark, and electric meter number on the electric meter. These information are used to upload to the electric meter supervision system, so as to facilitate the staff to understand various aspects of the electric meter.

[0093] Among them, the accuracy level will usually be marked on the panel, indicating the measurement accuracy level of the electric meter. For example, 0.5S, 1.0 level, etc.; but as the electric meter is used for a long time, the internal components of the electric meter will age, and the accuracy may change, so the accuracy of the electric meter needs to be evaluated in subsequent work.

[0094] The pulse constant (imp / kWh) may not be directly displayed on the panel, but some electric meters will be marked on the technical parameter area or nameplate.

[0095] Production batch code usually appears in the form of bar code or numbers on the meter housing or nameplate for tracing production information.

[0096] Manufacturing unit information includes manufacturer name, trademark and model, usually located in a prominent position on the panel.

[0097] The calibration date and validity period are usually printed on the calibration label or nameplate, and some meters will indicate the next calibration time.

[0098] The metering license mark is a mandatory identification indicating that the meter meets the relevant metrological standards, usually displayed with the license number.

[0099] S15, the internal information of the meter during use includes the pulse signal, voltage signal and current signal of the meter.

[0100] In this embodiment, a handheld camera can be used to take pictures of the meter, or a scanner can be used to obtain the meter image according to actual needs; a photoelectric sensor can be used to obtain the pulse signal generated by the rotation of the meter dial, and the voltage signal and current signal can be obtained by using a current transformer and a voltage sampling circuit. The obtained information is uploaded to the meter supervision system through the cloud server. The transmission method of the above information is known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0101] S2, standardizing the pulse signal in the collected internal information of the meter.

[0102] Specifically includes:

[0103] S21, calculating the meter pulse constant according to the obtained pulse signal :

[0104] ;

[0105] Where N represents the number of pulses of the pulse signal obtained in one cycle; E represents the actual power consumption in one cycle, with the unit of kWh; In this embodiment, 24 hours of data are continuously collected every 15 minutes; In this embodiment, a photoelectric sensor or a Hall element can be used to capture the pulse signal generated by the rotation of the meter dial, and the number of pulses is recorded. When installing, the sensor installation position needs to be ensured to be accurate to avoid signal distortion caused by mechanical vibration or electromagnetic interference.

[0106] S22, establishing a standardization formula:

[0107] ;

[0108] Where, is the standardized pulse constant; represents the historical data mean of the pulse constant, with the unit of imp / kWh; standard deviation of historical data of pulse constant; In order to prevent zero constant, 1x10 -5 The above method is used to eliminate the dimensional difference of different electric meters, so that the data conforms to N(0, 1) distribution.

[0109] S3, multi-dimensional evaluation of the electric meter, including accuracy evaluation and confidence verification;

[0110] Specifically, it includes:

[0111] S31, establishing an accuracy evaluation model:

[0112] ;

[0113] wherein, represents the pulse constant of the standard electric meter, represents the pulse accuracy of the electric meter;

[0114] Wherein, the standard electric meter can use a high-precision standard electric energy meter (such as 0.2 level or above) as a reference, synchronously collect electric energy data under the same load condition as the electric meter to be tested, and record the electric energy value (Wh) and pulse number of the standard electric meter as a reference for error calculation;

[0115] By comparing the pulse constant of the electric meter to be tested with that of the standard electric meter, the relative error is calculated, and finally the pulse accuracy of the electric meter is calculated. If the error exceeds the allowed range (such as 0.5S level table allows ±0.5%), it needs to be recalibrated or checked. For the case of large error, the pulse constant estimation value needs to be adjusted and the test is repeated until the error is within a reasonable range.

[0116] Before verification, the voltage, current parameters and pulse constant of the electric meter to be tested need to be correctly set, the verification instrument needs to be preset with the same number of turns as the tested meter, and the load needs to be kept stable during testing to avoid voltage or current fluctuations affecting the accuracy of pulse counting.

[0117] S32, establishing a confidence verification formula:

[0118] ;

[0119] wherein, represents the t-distribution critical value, n represents the amount of historical data of the pulse constant of the electric meter to be tested, because the electric meter needs to be tested regularly, if it has been measured for 3 times before, n=3; each period corresponds to a set of historical data, represents the confidence of the data displayed by the electric meter to be tested, the higher the confidence, the more accurate the data displayed by the electric meter.

[0120] In probability theory and statistics, the t-distribution (t-distribution) is used to estimate the mean of a population that is normally distributed and the variance is unknown according to a small sample. If the population variance is known or when the sample size is large enough, the normal distribution should be used to estimate the population mean, which can be selected according to the actual situation, that is, the actual number of samples, to use t-distribution or normal distribution.

[0121] S4, evaluate the comprehensive health degree of the electric meter by the remaining life, and predict the remaining life of the electric meter.

[0122] Specifically includes:

[0123] S41, combine the current fluctuation of the electric meter, the voltage fluctuation and the historical failure record to construct a feature matrix.

[0124] S42, extract the time domain features and frequency domain features of the feature matrix by the sliding window statistical method.

[0125] S43, establish a health score calculation formula:

[0126] ;

[0127] Wherein, H is the comprehensive health score, which is 0-100 in this embodiment; Indicates the dynamic weight of the i-th feature, which is determined by the entropy weight method, which will not be described here; Indicates the normalized value of the i-th feature ; Indicates the historical failure times of the electric meter to be tested; Is the decay coefficient.

[0128] Wherein, the feature matrix is constructed as follows:

[0129] (1) Select current fluctuation value ΔI, voltage fluctuation value ΔV and historical failure flag F, and historical failure flag F represents the number of occurrences of each type of failure, that is, the historical failure record.

[0130] Because the current and voltage data of the electric meter are recorded, when selecting data, the following method can be used: divide the historical time into multiple time periods, query the current fluctuation value ΔI, voltage fluctuation value ΔV and historical failure flag F of the electric meter in each time period.

[0131] (2) Then, construct a time sequence feature matrix, each row of the time sequence feature matrix represents a corresponding time period, and each row of the time sequence feature matrix is referred to as: .

[0132] Moreover, in the health score calculation formula There are multiple items, and each item needs to be added. In order to facilitate description, i is used to represent the characteristics of the item.

[0133] Therefore, in the present embodiment, the health score calculation formula in the present embodiment is There are two items, one is a frequency domain feature, and the other is a time domain feature. When calculating, the two items need to be added;

[0134] For example, when i=1, it represents a frequency domain feature, then The item contains data related to the frequency domain feature; when i=2, it represents a time domain feature, then The item contains data related to the time domain feature.

[0135] In the above manner, it is helpful to quantify the current state of the electric meter, and the above manner combines the collected real-time data and the once-collected historical records, avoiding single-index misjudgment.

[0136] S44, establish a remaining life prediction model:

[0137] ;

[0138] Wherein, represents the remaining life prediction value of the electric meter at time t, and the unit is hour; is a model fusion coefficient; is a shape parameter; is a characteristic life; represents the health state sequence of the recent n time periods.

[0139] Wherein, and The values of and can be learned from the failure distribution of similar electric meters, and the LSTM training data comes from a cloud aging experiment database, represents the continuous health score from the historical time t-n to the current time t, which is used to analyze the health trend and abnormal situation of the electric meter.

[0140] The above method is used to predict the combined effect of sudden failure (Weibull) and gradual attenuation (LSTM). Compared with a single prediction model, the prediction error of the present method is lower.

[0141] The present scheme can collect image information of the electric meter, process the image, and then extract the corresponding information of the electric meter through image recognition and upload it to the electric meter supervision system, which helps the staff to understand the information of the electric meter, and facilitates the query of the electric meter according to the code of the electric meter.

[0142] For the collected current, voltage, pulse quantity and other aspects, the accuracy of the ammeter, the health score and the remaining life of the ammeter are obtained by calculating through the corresponding module. Since the internal devices of the ammeter will age with use, it is necessary to evaluate through the above-mentioned manner, which helps the staff to understand the condition of the ammeter in time and determine whether to replace or repair it. Moreover, this part of information will also be uploaded to the ammeter supervision system, so that the situation of the ammeter in various aspects can be understood.

[0143] Preferably, the maintenance condition and disassembly condition of the ammeter can also be uploaded to the ammeter supervision system through the above-mentioned manner to realize whole-process tracking of the whole life cycle of the ammeter. Through the above-mentioned manner, complete traceability records can be established for the ammeter from factory detection to operation and maintenance, so that the staff can understand the condition of the ammeter in time, thereby implementing more effective supervision of the ammeter.

[0144] It should be noted that all data acquisition is based on compliance with laws and regulations and user consent, and legal application of data is performed.
