Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of image recognition technology, specifically to an artificial intelligence-based image recognition system and method for cable defects. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, defect detection of tunnel cables primarily relies on regular manual inspections. Under normal operating conditions, manual inspections can detect some obvious cable defects. However, when cables are exposed to the dark environment of tunnels for extended periods, especially in extremely cold winter weather, a layer of deposits may form on the cable surface near tunnel leaks. The pressure from this deposits can cause tensile deformation or even "bow-shaped" sagging, resulting in micro-cracks on the cable surface. Traditional manual inspections are not only inefficient in detecting these cracks, but also susceptible to interference from environmental factors, leading to missed defects. Furthermore, manual inspections lack real-time monitoring; some cables break due to excessive deformation caused by untimely inspections, seriously threatening the safe and stable operation of high-voltage transmission lines. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an artificial intelligence-based cable defect image recognition system and method to solve the problems raised in the prior art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an artificial intelligence-based method for cable defect image recognition, the method comprising:
[0005] Step S100: Acquire cable images; obtain the thickness of the covering layer on the cable surface; analyze the cable images based on the acquired covering layer thickness, calculate the cable sag angle, and capture the target cable based on the cable sag angle.
[0006] Step S200: Obtain the predicted temperature and humidity values, and generate a predicted curve for the cover layer thickness. Based on the predicted cover layer thickness values corresponding to each time point in the generated predicted curve, calculate the degree of deformation of the target cable at each time point, and generate a predicted curve for the degree of deformation of the target cable.
[0007] Step S300: Based on the deformation degree prediction curve of the target cable, calculate the deformation development rate of the target cable, classify the risk level of the target cable, and calculate the early warning coefficient corresponding to each risk level.
[0008] Step S400: Calculate the priority of defect detection for the target cable based on the warning coefficient of the risk level corresponding to the target cable and the current degree of deformation of the target cable. The robot automatically plans the detection path according to the calculated priority.
[0009] Furthermore, step S100 includes:
[0010] Step S101: Extract the collected cable images at and below zero degrees Celsius, identify the cable contour in the cable image using image recognition technology, select the cable along the cable contour using a detection box, and establish a coordinate system in the cable image with the lowest point of the detection box as the origin.
[0011] Step S102: Extract the thickness d of the cable surface covering layer collected by the sensor on the robot. In the coordinate system, translate the lower edge of the detection frame upward by d units and translate the upper edge of the detection frame downward by d units. The upper and lower edge lines after translation by d units form the target detection frame. Read the coordinates of the lowest point (x0, y0), the left endpoint (x1, y1), and the right endpoint (x2, y2) of the target detection frame from the coordinate system.
[0012] Step S103: Based on the read coordinates of the lowest point (x0, y0), the left endpoint (x1, y1), and the right endpoint (x2, y2), calculate the cable sag angle using the following formula:
[0013] ;
[0014] in, Indicates the sag angle of the cable;
[0015] Step S104: Identify the cable model in the target detection box using image recognition technology. Retrieve the sag angle threshold of the cable corresponding to the cable model from the database. Compare the calculated sag angle of the cable with the sag angle threshold. If the sag angle is greater than the sag angle threshold, mark the cable as the target cable. Obtain the geographical location of the target cable and store the cable model, geographical location, and sag angle of the target cable.
[0016] The above steps involve using image recognition technology to identify the cable outline and establish a coordinate system. The range of the detection frame is adjusted according to the thickness of the overlay collected by the sensor to eliminate interference. The overlay includes icicles that may form at tunnel leaks when the temperature is extremely low, causing the cable surface to freeze. It may also contain dust, dirt, oil, and chemical liquids. When the overlay reaches a certain thickness, it can cause the cable to bend and sag.
[0017] Furthermore, step S200 includes:
[0018] Step S201: Extract the geographical location of the target cable, retrieve the temperature and humidity forecasts for the geographical location from the meteorological department, sort the temperature and humidity forecasts according to time series, mark the time periods in which the temperature and humidity forecasts remain unchanged, and divide the time into several time periods. The predicted thickness of the cover layer of the target cable for a certain time period is calculated using the following formula:
[0019] ;
[0020] Wherein, D represents the predicted value of the cover layer thickness of the target cable corresponding to the time period, d represents the cover layer thickness of the target cable at the current time point, k1 represents the growth coefficient, T represents the predicted value of the temperature during the time period, β represents the humidity influence factor, and H represents the predicted value of the humidity during the time period.
[0021] Step S202: Sort the calculated predicted values of the target cable's sheath thickness according to the time series to generate a sheath thickness prediction curve; extract the sheath thickness corresponding to a certain time point from the sheath thickness prediction curve, and calculate the degree of deformation of the target cable at that time point using the following formula:
[0022] ;
[0023] Wherein, G represents the degree of deformation of the target cable at the time point, and D represents the thickness of the covering layer on the surface of the target cable at the time point. y1 is the x-coordinate of the left endpoint of the target detection box, y2 is the x-coordinate of the right endpoint of the target detection box, and y3 is the y-coordinate of the right endpoint of the target detection box.
[0024] Step S203: Obtain the calculated deformation degree of the target cable and the corresponding time point, and plot the deformation degree prediction curve of the target cable;
[0025] In the above steps, when the cable deformation reaches a certain level, cracks may appear on the cable surface. Therefore, by comprehensively analyzing the impact of environmental factors on the growth of the covering layer, the accuracy of the prediction can be improved. The generated prediction curve can intuitively show the trend of cable change over time, and realize early warning of risks.
[0026] Furthermore, step S300 includes:
[0027] Step S301: Extract the deformation degrees G1 and G2 of the target cable corresponding to two adjacent time points t1 and t2 from the deformation degree prediction curve of the target cable, and calculate the deformation development rate of the target cable. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0028] ;
[0029] Where v represents the deformation development rate of the target cable at two adjacent time points;
[0030] Step S302: Calculate the weighted average of the calculated deformation development rates of the target cable to obtain the average deformation development rate of the target cable; extract the average deformation development rates of all target cables, sort the average deformation development rates in ascending order to obtain an average deformation development rate sequence; and obtain the average value of the average deformation development rate sequence according to the preset average value calculation formula and standard deviation calculation formula. Sum and standard deviation α; set the first risk threshold as Set the second risk threshold as ;
[0031] Step S303: Classify the target cable with average deformation development rate V≤V1 into the first risk level, classify the target cable with average deformation development rate V1<V<V2 into the second risk level, and classify the target cable with average deformation development rate V≥V2 into the third risk level; set the early warning coefficient corresponding to the first risk level as Q1, set the early warning coefficient corresponding to the second risk level as Q2, set the early warning coefficient corresponding to the third risk level as Q3, and Q1<Q2<Q3;
[0032] In the above steps, due to the water leakage points in the tunnel, a covering layer appears on the surface of some cables. However, the thickness of the covering layer on the cable surface varies depending on the location of the water leakage point, resulting in different deformation development rates of the cable. By calculating the average value of the deformation development rate of the target cable, the interference of data fluctuations is eliminated, and dynamic adaptive grading is achieved, avoiding the limitations of a single fixed threshold.
[0033] Furthermore, step S400 includes:
[0034] Step S401: Calculate the priority of the target cable defect detection according to the preset priority calculation formula. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0035] ;
[0036] Where P represents the priority of the target cable, Q i G represents the warning coefficient corresponding to the i-th risk level of the target cable, and G represents the degree of deformation of the current target cable.
[0037] Step S402: Sort all the calculated priority of the target cables in descending order, and at the same time, the robot extracts the geographical location of the target cables according to the priority order, and performs defect detection on the target cables according to the geographical location of each target cable.

[0050] The cover layer prediction unit marks the time period in which both the temperature prediction value and the humidity prediction value remain unchanged, divides it into several time periods, and calculates the predicted value of the cover layer thickness of the target cable for each time period.
