Computer Vision based Automatic Power Equipment Condition Monitoring and Maintenance: A Brief Review

Abstract

In recent years, with the progress of science and technology, network communication technology, information processing technology, artificial intelligence technology, big data technology, navigation technology, power electronics technology and other rapid development, for the development of highly intelligent with independence. The autonomous navigation technology, which integrates computer vision, artificial intelligence, sensor fusion and other disciplines, will provide technical support for the practicality and popularization of the new type of power inspection robot. On the other hand, using robots instead of manual inspection is bound to be the future development direction. Research and development of substation inspection robot with autonomous navigation ability can sense the substation road environment through its own sensor system, plan the driving route and control the vehicle to reach the predetermined destination, which can greatly improve the inspection efficiency of the robot, broaden its operation range and improve the efficiency of the robot inspection To improve its working ability, this will make the power inspection robot to the practical direction of a big step forward.
