The invention belongs to the technical field of
power transmission line inspection, and provides an intelligent identification and automatic detection method and
system for the front end of a
power transmission line insulator, and the method comprises the steps: analyzing a preset
route in response to an inspection task, and flying to a target
waypoint according to
waypoint information in the preset
route; a video
stream of a target
waypoint is obtained, image frames in the video
stream are identified by using a pre-trained insulator string identification model, and an insulator string is detected; adjusting the posture to enable the target insulator string to be centered in front of the target insulator string; distance information of a front detected insulator steel cap is obtained, the three-dimensional coordinate position of a center point is calculated in combination with
fuselage parameters and external parameter calibration data, and based on the three-dimensional coordinate position of the center point, the pixel-level offset of the center point from the center position of a video frame is calculated; and according to the relationship among the image coordinate
system, the camera coordinate
system and the world coordinate system, carrying out fine adjustment on the position of the
machine body so as to carry out piece-by-piece
contact type detection. According to the invention, the safety, precision and efficiency of
power transmission equipment detection are significantly improved.
