Description
Summary:Insulator fault detection plays an important role in maintaining the safety of transmission lines. Insulator recognition is a prerequisite for its fault detection. An insulator recognition algorithm based on convolution neural network (CNN) is proposed. A dataset is established to train the constructed CNN. The correct rate is 98.52% for 1220 training samples and the accuracy rate of testing is 89.04% on 1305 samples. The classification result of the CNN is further used to segment the insulator image. The test results show that the proposed method can realize the effective segmentation of insulators.
