Abstract

With the progress of technology and the improvement of equipment quality, the coverage of China’s transmission network is expanding rapidly. Large power grids across complex and volatile terrain and dangerous high-voltage transmission lines are also being extended. Therefore, the traditional method of checking the circuit manually is no longer feasible due to its low efficiency, low precision, high risk and high cost. However, unmanned aerial vehicles (uavs) are a perfect way to circumvent these problems by inspecting transmission lines instead of workers. This paper takes the application of unmanned aerial vehicle in power line patrol as the research background, takes the porcelain vase in power transmission as an example, and realizes the image recognition and damage judgment system of the porcelain vase with specific target. Based on the image processing technology of machine learning and MATLAB, the target detection method of YOLO v3, the semantic segmentation method of Deeplab v3+, and the improved damage analysis method of ellipse fitting were respectively used to make the damage judgment and analysis of porcelain vats based on the intelligent image recognition interception, contour extraction and semantic segmentation. In the actual site of 166 porcelain bottles damage detection, damage detection accuracy reached 86.7%. Finally, the identification system of porcelain vase defect is realized.
