[0039] To address the problems in the background art, embodiments of this disclosure provide a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for identifying abnormal overheating in transformers. Based on multiple infrared images of the transformer under normal operating conditions and various abnormal overheating operating conditions, an abnormal feature image is calculated and fused with characteristics of multiple abnormal overheating operating conditions. This abnormal feature image is then used to process the target infrared image (i.e., the transformer infrared image requiring abnormal overheating identification), calculating the local entropy image of the target infrared image. The target infrared image and the local entropy image are then stitched together to obtain a stitched image, which is then used for abnormal overheating identification.

[0040] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, illustrates a transformer overheating identification method, apparatus, device, and storage medium provided by the present disclosure.

[0041] Figure 1 A flowchart of a transformer abnormal overheating identification method provided by an embodiment of this disclosure is shown, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the transformer abnormal overheating identification method 100 may include the following steps:

[0042] S110 acquires multiple infrared images of the transformer under different operating conditions.

[0043] In some embodiments, an infrared imager can be used to acquire multiple raw infrared images of the transformer under different operating conditions. All raw infrared images are then subjected to size unification and median filtering for noise reduction to obtain multiple infrared images of the transformer under different operating conditions. These operating conditions include: normal operating conditions and various abnormal overheating operating conditions. Further, abnormal overheating operating conditions include: bushing and riser overheating, transformer body overheating, radiator overheating, on-load tap changer overheating, and terminal block overheating.

[0044] S120 calculates and fuses multiple abnormal overheating operating conditions characteristics into an abnormal feature image based on multiple infrared images of the transformer under different operating conditions.

[0045] In some embodiments, multiple infrared images of the transformer under different operating conditions can be converted into grayscale images. For any abnormal overheating operating condition, firstly, multiple grayscale images belonging to that condition are mapped one-to-one with multiple grayscale images under normal operating conditions to obtain multiple grayscale image pairs. Secondly, the grayscale image difference of each grayscale image pair is calculated to obtain multiple grayscale difference images. Then, the multiple grayscale difference images are binarized to obtain multiple binarized images. Next, the multiple binarized images are averaged to obtain an average image. The average images of multiple abnormal overheating operating conditions are summed to obtain an abnormal feature image that integrates the characteristics of multiple abnormal overheating operating conditions.

[0046] S130: Process the target infrared image using the abnormal feature image to calculate the local entropy image of the target infrared image.

[0047] In some embodiments, the abnormal feature image can be normalized to obtain a normalized image. This normalized image is then used to process the target infrared image, calculating its local entropy. For example, the target infrared image can be converted into a target grayscale image of the same size as the normalized image. The normalized image and the target grayscale image are then fused to obtain a fused image. A sliding window is used to calculate the entropy value of each pixel's neighborhood in the fused image, resulting in a local entropy image. Here, the target infrared image is the infrared image of the transformer for which abnormal overheating identification is required.

[0048] S140: The target infrared image and the local entropy image are stitched together to obtain a stitched image, and abnormal overheating is identified in the stitched image.

[0049] In some embodiments, the target grayscale image converted from the target infrared image can be stitched together with the local entropy image to form a 2-channel image, guiding the subsequent classification algorithm to focus on hotspots and fault points. Then, the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm is used to classify the 2-channel image to achieve abnormal overheating identification and output the identification results.

[0050] To facilitate further understanding, the transformer abnormal overheating identification method 100 provided in this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to a specific embodiment.

[0051] (1) Multiple original infrared images of the transformer under various operating conditions were acquired using an infrared imager, including normal operation condition N, bushing and riser overheating condition B, transformer body overheating condition W, radiator overheating condition S, on-load tap changer overheating condition O, and terminal overheating condition J. All original infrared images were then resized (to 640×640) and subjected to median filtering for noise reduction, resulting in multiple infrared images of the transformer under different operating conditions. Here, 50 infrared images are obtained for each operating condition.

[0052] (2) Convert 50 infrared images of the transformer under different operating conditions into grayscale images.

[0053] (3) For any abnormal overheating operation condition, first, the 50 grayscale images under it are matched one-to-one with the 50 grayscale images under normal operation condition to obtain 50 grayscale image pairs. Then, the grayscale image difference of the 50 grayscale image pairs is calculated to obtain 50 grayscale difference images. Then, the 50 grayscale difference images are binarized to obtain 50 binarized images. Finally, the 50 binarized images are averaged to obtain the average image.

[0054] The calculation of grayscale image differences under five abnormal overheating operating conditions can be represented by the following formula:

[0055] D1(x,y)=|I N (x,y)-I B (x,y)|,D2(x,y=|I N (x,y)-I W (x,y)|……D5(x,y=|I N (x,y)-I J (x,y)| (1)

[0056] Taking the overheated operation of the bushing and riser as an example, D1(x,y)=|I N (x,y)-I B (x,y)| represents the calculation of the grayscale image difference between the bushing and riser under overheating operation conditions, obtaining the grayscale difference image of the bushing and riser under overheating operation conditions, and D1(x,y) represents the grayscale difference image of the bushing and riser under overheating operation conditions. N (x,y) represents the grayscale image under normal operating conditions in a grayscale image pair. B (x,y) represents the grayscale image of the bushing and riser under overheating operation conditions, where (x,y) represents the pixel coordinates. It is understood that other abnormal overheating operation conditions are similar to those of the bushing and riser, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0057] Binarizing the grayscale difference images under five abnormal overheating operating conditions can highlight local overheated areas (buoys, radiators, tap changers, etc.) in the images. The specific process is shown in the following formula:

[0058]

[0059] Among them, D′ i (x,y) represents the binarized image under the i-th abnormal overheating operating condition, D i (x,y) represents the grayscale difference image under the i-th abnormal overheating operating condition. This represents the optimal binarization threshold under the i-th abnormal overheating operating condition.

[0060] Averaging the binarized images under five abnormal overheating operating conditions can reduce the randomness that may appear in a single image. The specific process is shown in the following formula:

[0061]

[0062] Among them, Avg i (x,y) represents the average image under the i-th abnormal overheating operating condition, D′ i (x,y) represents the binarized image under the i-th abnormal overheating operating condition, with a total of 50 images.

[0063] (4) Sum the average images under multiple abnormal overheating operating conditions to obtain an abnormal feature image that integrates the characteristics of multiple abnormal overheating operating conditions. The specific process is shown in the following formula:

[0064]

[0065] Where Y(x,y) represents the anomaly feature image, Avg i (x,y) represents the average image under the i-th abnormal overheating operating condition.

[0066] (5) Normalize the abnormal feature image to obtain a normalized image, where the value of each pixel is between 0 and 1. The specific process is shown in the following formula:

[0067]

[0068] Where F(x,y) represents the normalized image, and max(Y(x,y)) represents the maximum pixel value in the anomalous feature image Y(x,y);

[0069] (6) Convert the target infrared image into a target grayscale image, and fuse the normalized image and the target grayscale image to obtain a fused image, where all negative numbers are assigned a value of 0. The specific process is shown in the following formula:

[0070] H = X + F - 1(6)

[0071] Where H represents the fused image, X represents the target grayscale image, and F represents the normalized image.

[0072] (7) Calculate the entropy value of each pixel neighborhood in the fused image using a sliding window, thereby calculating the local entropy value of the fused image and obtaining the local entropy image. The specific process is shown in the following formula:

[0073] L(x,y)=-∑p k (x,y)log2p k (x,y) (7)

[0074] Where L(x,y) represents the local entropy image, p k (x,y) represents the probability that the gray level is k within a window centered at pixel (x,y) in the fused image.

[0075] (8) The target grayscale image and the local entropy image are stitched together to form a 2-channel image, which guides the focus of subsequent classification algorithms on hot spots and fault points. Then, the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm is used to classify the 2-channel image to achieve abnormal overheating identification and output the identification results.

[0076] In summary, this disclosure achieves at least the following technical effects:

[0077] By adopting a multi-source anomaly feature fusion mechanism, the limitations of traditional single-condition detection are overcome, and the ability to characterize complex thermal defects is enhanced.

[0078] Local entropy analysis enhances the ability to extract abrupt changes in temperature distribution features, significantly improving the accuracy of temperature gradient identification for subtle anomalies.

[0079] Dual-channel feature fusion technology enables the collaborative analysis of texture features and temperature field. While reducing environmental noise interference, it also makes the detection results more robust and generalizable, ultimately achieving the dual technical effect of reducing the false negative rate and false positive rate.

[0080] It should be noted that, for the sake of simplicity, the foregoing method embodiments are all described as a series of actions. However, those skilled in the art should understand that this disclosure is not limited to the described order of actions, because according to this disclosure, some steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously. Furthermore, those skilled in the art should also understand that the embodiments described in the specification are all optional embodiments, and the actions and modules involved are not necessarily essential to this disclosure.
