Abstract:
Fault diagnosis of insulators in aerial images is an essential task of power line inspection to maintain the reliability, safety, and sustainability of power transmission. This paper develops a novel method for intelligent diagnosis of electrical insulators based on deep learning, termed Box-Point Detector, which consists of a deep convolutional neural network followed by two parallel branches of convolutional heads. These two branches are utilized to locate the fault region and estimate insulator endpoints, which presents a new representation for insulator faults. Endpoints of the faulty insulator string can provide detailed and correlative information for enhancing the diagnosis capability of component-dependent faults that occur on component bodies. The proposed Box-Point Detector implements all predictions including region and endpoint into one network thus forms an efficient end-to-end structure, and adopts a smaller downsampling ratio to generate high resolution feature-maps in order to preserve more original information for small size faults. Experimental results indicate that Box-Point Detector can accurately diagnose high-voltage insulator faults in real-time under various conditions. Compared with some previous works using Faster R-CNN, SSD, and cascading network, our Box-Point Detector shows more competitively capabilities with high accuracy and robustness.
