Title
Insulator Umbrella Disc Shedding Detection in Foggy Weather
Abstract
The detection of insulator umbrella disc shedding is very important to the stable operation of a transmission line. In order to accomplish the accurate detection of the insulator umbrella disc shedding in foggy weather, a two-stage detection model combined with a defogging algorithm is proposed. In the dehazing stage of insulator images, solving the problem of real hazy image data is difficult; the foggy images are dehazed by the method of synthetic foggy images training and real foggy images fine-tuning. In the detection stage of umbrella disc shedding, a small object detection algorithm named FA-SSD is proposed to solve the problem of the umbrella disc shedding occupying only a small proportion of an aerial image. On the one hand, the shallow feature information and deep feature information are fused to improve the feature extraction ability of small targets; on the other hand, the attention mechanism is introduced to strengthen the feature extraction network's attention to the details of small targets and improve the model's ability to detect the umbrella disc shedding. The experimental results show that our model can accurately detect the insulator umbrella disc shedding defect in the foggy image; the accuracy of the defect detection is 0.925, and the recall is 0.841. Compared with the original model, it improved by 5.9% and 8.6%, respectively.
