Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of image recognition, in particular to a power transmission line forest fire smoke detection method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of China's power industry, the power grid scale continues to expand, and the safe and stable operation of the power transmission line, as the main artery of power transmission, is of great importance. However, the power transmission line often passes through complex geographical environments such as mountains and forests, and is threatened by various natural risks. Among them, forest fires, due to their strong suddenness and great destructiveness, have become one of the main factors endangering the safety of power transmission lines. The thick smoke produced by forest fires can cause flashover of insulator strings, causing line tripping, and can also cause large-scale power outages, posing a serious challenge to power grid stability and social and economic activities. Therefore, timely and accurate monitoring of forest fire smoke in the power transmission line corridor is an important part of disaster prevention and mitigation for the power system.

[0003] At present, there are many deficiencies in the detection method of forest fire smoke on the power transmission line, such as the poor adaptability of the traditional threshold-based detection method to complex environments, the difficulty of fixed threshold to cope with complex and changing natural environment, the possibility of false positives due to the general rise in environmental temperature in summer, the decline in sensitivity of sensors due to dust and rain pollution, causing false negatives, and the fact that single-point sensors can only cover a limited area, requiring the deployment of a large number of devices to achieve full-line monitoring, which is costly and difficult to maintain. In particular, forest fires usually start in remote locations and are difficult to capture effectively by a sparsely distributed sensor network. With the popularity of video monitoring, image analysis methods using cameras have been applied, but relying solely on image recognition methods is susceptible to environmental interference such as clouds, fog, water vapor, and shadows, resulting in low recognition accuracy. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method and system that can accurately and reliably detect forest fire smoke on the power transmission line. SUMMARY
