The invention discloses a
power equipment defect detection method based on improved YOLOv5s. The invention discloses the
power equipment defect detection method based on the improved YOLOv5s, and belongs to the technical field of intelligent detection of
power equipment. According to the method, by lightening the
network structure and improving the
loss function, the
model complexity is remarkably reduced, and meanwhile high detection precision is kept. The method specifically comprises the following steps: replacing a traditional convolutional layer in a
backbone network and a neck network with a GhostModule layer, and reducing parameter quantity by using low-cost linear transformation; optimizing a
feature fusion process by adopting a C3Ghost layer; a detection head
loss function is replaced by EIoU, and the positioning precision is improved by separating width and height loss. According to the construction of the
data set, unmanned aerial vehicle images, public data and network
crawling images are integrated, and the training process is optimized through Mosaic enhancement and self-adaptive anchor frame calculation. The mAP value of the improved model reaches 85.9%, the volume of the model is compressed by 45%, the calculated amount is reduced by 52%, the method is suitable for unmanned aerial
vehicle inspection, fixed monitoring and edge equipment deployment, defects such as insulator damage,
wire breakage and
transformer leakage can be detected in real time, and efficient
technical support is provided for
safe operation and maintenance of power equipment.
