Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of insulator defect detection technology, and more specifically, to an insulator defect detection method and system based on low-rank adaptive fusion. Background Technology

[0002] Insulators, as key components in power transmission and transformation lines, play a vital role in supporting conductors and providing electrical insulation. Insulators operating outdoors for extended periods are susceptible to various defects caused by natural factors such as rain, snow, wind, sand, pollution, and lightning strikes, as well as human or environmental stresses such as mechanical and thermal stresses. These defects can lead to damage, cracks, contamination, and flashover marks. If these defects are not detected and addressed promptly, they can result in decreased insulation performance, flashover discharge, and even large-scale power outages, posing a serious threat to the safe operation of the power grid.

[0003] In the existing technology, the detection of insulator defects mainly includes the following categories: (1) Manual inspection: The inspection is carried out by maintenance personnel or by using inspection robots to observe with the naked eye or to obtain images through photography, video recording and other means for manual analysis. This method has problems such as low detection efficiency, high labor intensity, susceptibility to subjective factors, and safety hazards in high-altitude or high-voltage environments; (2) Traditional image processing methods: The computer vision algorithms such as edge detection, grayscale analysis, and texture analysis are used to identify defects. These methods are sensitive to changes in image background, changes in lighting and dirt occlusion, have poor robustness, and are difficult to take into account the detection of multiple defect types; (3) Deep learning detection methods: In recent years, the detection methods that introduce deep learning architectures such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) and Transformer have significantly improved the detection accuracy, such as Faster R-CNN, YOLO series, DETR, etc. Some studies have introduced multimodal technology to combine visual-language models (such as Grounding) While DINO (Digital Insulator Detection Object) is applied to open-vocabulary detection tasks, these methods still suffer from the following shortcomings in insulator defect detection: Insufficient performance in small target detection: Insulator defects often occupy only a few pixels in high-resolution inspection images, leading to high difficulty in feature learning and a high false negative rate; Complex and easily confused backgrounds: Actual transmission line images contain interfering backgrounds such as sky, trees, and towers, which vary significantly under different lighting, weather, and angles, easily causing false detections; Diverse defect types: Different defects differ significantly in morphology, color, and texture, making it difficult for a single feature extraction channel to simultaneously recognize all types of defects; Limited generalization ability: Existing single-model structures show significant performance degradation in new scenes and new defect types, and are highly dependent on the distribution of training samples; Large model parameters and decreased inference efficiency: Some multimodal methods increase model complexity after introducing advanced feature fusion, which is not conducive to online detection or edge deployment. Therefore, existing technologies still have significant shortcomings in high-precision detection of insulator defects, specialized feature learning for different defect types, robustness in complex backgrounds, and real-time performance.
