[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] The utility model provides Figure 1-4 An adaptive camera ice melting module shown includes a sensor main control board 1 and a camera body 4. The camera body 4 is electrically connected to the top of the sensor main control board 1. Connecting seats 401 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the camera body 4. Multiple connecting seats 401 are provided with mounting holes in the vertical direction.
[0030] It should be noted that in this solution, camera body 4 is the object being processed, specifically heating and deicing the lens end of camera body 4. This solution utilizes an adaptive camera, using camera body 4 in conjunction with a multi-physics integrated sensor for power transmission lines. This combines the panoramic real-time monitoring capabilities of the multi-physics sensor with the efficient processing capabilities of a CNN model, achieving both intelligent and adaptive camera functionality. This technology will play a vital role in areas such as high-reliability video monitoring, intelligent tracking, and environmental monitoring for intelligent power transmission lines. Because the CNN model allows the camera to automatically detect blur in images, it extracts environmental information such as temperature and humidity to provide feedback to the CNN, enabling the camera to operate in an adaptive manner.
[0031] Combine Figure 5As shown in the figure, the image processing model structure consists of an input layer, a convolutional layer, an activation layer, a fully connected layer, an activation function, and an output layer, where:
[0032] The input layer uploads the image information photos, which are the analysis materials of the CNN system. The role of the input layer is to receive this image information data and convert it into a digital form that the CNN neural network can understand (usually a three-dimensional array, i.e. width, height, and number of color channels).
[0033] Convolutional layer,The convolutional layer is responsible for extracting local features in the image.
[0034] After each image recognition is completed, the activation function performs two judgments. The first is a preliminary judgment, using the ReLU and Sigmoid functions to strengthen (maintain or increase positive values) or weaken (convert negative values to 0 or compress them to a certain range) the image to ensure that key information can be recognized. The second uses the Softmax and Sigmoid functions to ensure that the image information is distinguishable.
[0035] Pooling layer,The pooling layer is responsible for significantly reducing the magnitude of parameters, while retaining important key information, reducing computational complexity.
[0036] The fully connected layer is similar to the role of the traditional neural network. It calculates the final result based on the data processed by the convolutional layer and the pooling layer.
[0037] The output layer, after multiple recognitions, indicates that the image has a problem and that it has no problem.
[0038] Through extensive training with data from the power system, the CNN model can determine whether an image is blurred.

[0042] It should be noted that the provision of the rubber block 203 increases the contact area with the camera body 4 through extrusion deformation, so that the heating lens barrel 2 forms an extrusion connection with the camera body 4 through the rubber block 203 in the sleeve groove 202.
[0043] The heating component is arranged at the top of the heating barrel 2 and is located at the lens of the camera body 4. A through cavity is opened at the top of the storage groove 201 and the sleeve groove 202, and the heating component is inserted into the storage groove 201 and the sleeve groove 202 through the through cavity.
[0044] Specifically, a through opening is formed at the top of the sleeve groove 202 , and a glass lens 3 is provided in the through opening. The glass lens 3 is used to shield the heating component.
[0045] It should be noted that the structure using the glass lens 3 needs to ensure better light transmission performance and no aging or yellowing problems.
[0046] Specifically, the heating component includes:
[0047] The heating wire 9 is arranged at the top of the sleeve groove 202, and the heating wire 9 is arranged between the lens end of the camera body 4 and the bottom end of the glass lens 3;
[0048] The conductive structure has a power transmission end connected to the heating wire 9 for conducting heat, and a power input end connected to the sensor main control board 1 for conducting control.
[0049] Furthermore, the conductive structure includes:
[0050] A first power cord 5, one end of which passes through the receiving slot 201 and is electrically connected to the control terminal of the sensor main control board 1, and the other end of the first power cord 5 is electrically connected to the first terminal 7, the top end of the first terminal 7 is electrically connected to one end of the heating wire 9;
[0051] The second power cord 6, one end of the second power cord 6 passes through the storage slot 201 and is electrically connected to the control end of the sensor main control board 1, and the first power cord 5 and the second power cord 6 are respectively used to connect the positive and negative poles of the control end of the sensor main control board 1, and the other end of the second power cord 6 is electrically connected to the second power terminal 8, and the bottom end of the second power terminal 8 is electrically connected to the other end of the heating wire 9.
[0052] Furthermore, the first electrical connection piece 7 is disposed at the lens end of the camera body 4 , and the second electrical connection piece 8 is sleeved on the top side of the glass lens 3 and located on the top inner wall of the sleeve groove 202 .
[0053] It should be noted that a ring groove is provided on the side of the top of the glass lens 3, which can accommodate the heating wire 9 to pass through, thereby ensuring that when the lens of the camera body 4 rotates, it will not affect the wiring connection of the conductive structure, thereby ensuring the stability of the heating component during heating.

[0055] Step 1: determine the operating temperature of the camera body 4 and judge whether it meets the condition of "temperature ≤ 0 degrees Celsius". If so, execute step 2; otherwise, delay T1 and continue to execute step 1.
[0056] Step 2: Based on CNN image recognition, determine whether the condition "camera is blurry and unclear" is met. If so, proceed to step 3; otherwise, delay T2 and continue to step 1.

If so, execute the control lens heating T3, the first power line 5 and the second power line 6 are turned on, and the heating wire 9 is energized and heated; otherwise, continue to step four.
[0058] Step 4: determine the wire current and judge whether it satisfies “>I2”. If so, execute the control lens heating T4; otherwise, continue heating T5 with an interval of T6.
[0059] Among them, I1 is set to 15A; I2 is set to 8A; T1 is set to 1 hour; T2 is set to 0.5 hour; T3 is set to 3 minutes; T4 is set to 1 minute; T5 is set to 30 seconds; and T6 is set to 5 minutes.
