This application relates to a device and method for identifying distribution network defects and external damage hazards, including a
multimodal data acquisition module, an
edge computing processing module, an
adaptive environment adjustment module, a multi-
machine collaborative scheduling module, a
secure communication module, an intelligent early warning and grading module, and a cross-platform compatible interface module. The
multimodal data acquisition module is used to acquire visible light images,
infrared thermal imaging, and environmental sound signals; the
edge computing processing module uses an AI model for defect and
hazard identification; the
adaptive environment adjustment module performs defogging and
noise reduction preprocessing on the data; the multi-
machine collaborative scheduling module realizes spatiotemporal isolation and
intelligent planning of drones; the
secure communication module uses dual-link communication and national cryptographic
encryption to ensure
data transmission; and the cross-platform compatible interface module enables data interaction between multiple systems. This application improves the identification accuracy and environmental adaptability of distribution network inspections, ensures
data transmission security, and achieves seamless integration of multi-
machine collaborative operations and cross-platform data.
