The application relates to the fields of
image processing and
smart grid maintenance technology, and discloses a
power transmission line defect image intelligent identification and grading method, which acquires high-dimensional visual features, preliminary classification confidence and a space
mask matrix of an original image; calculates the topological risk weight of a target defect; splices the visual features and the topological risk weight to perform
database retrieval, acquires a search prior grade and an evolution
anchor point image; when the preliminary classification confidence is lower than a threshold value, decoupling interpolation and cross-level judgment are performed on the original image and the
anchor point image in a latent space based on the
mask matrix, and a gradient jump point is output; finally, the search prior grade, the topological risk weight and the gradient jump point are fused to calculate a comprehensive risk
score, and a defect severity grade is output by comparing the threshold value. The application fuses historical experience, spatial
mechanics attributes and evolution trend multi-dimensional parameters, solves the problem that a critical state defect is easily misjudged by single feature grading, and improves the reliability of the grading result.
