Abstract
Insulators play a pivotal role in the reliability of power distribution networks, necessitating precise defect detection. However, compared with aerial insulator images of transmission network, insulator images of power distribution network contain more complex backgrounds and subtle insulator defects, it leads to high false detection rates and omission rates in current mainstream detection algorithms. In response, this study presents ID-YOLOv7, a tailored convolutional neural network. First, we design a novel Edge Detailed Shape Data Augmentation (EDSDA) method to enhance the model's sensitivity to insulator's edge shapes. Meanwhile, a Cross-Channel and Spatial Multi-Scale Attention (CCSMA) module is proposed, which can interactively model across different channels and spatial domains, to augment the network's attention to high-level insulator defect features. Second, we design a Re-BiC module to fuse multi-scale contextual features and reconstruct the Neck component, alleviating the issue of critical feature loss during inter-feature layer interaction in traditional FPN structures. Finally, we utilize the MPDIoU function to calculate the model's localization loss, effectively reducing redundant computational costs. We perform comprehensive experiments using the Su22kV_broken and PASCAL VOC 2007 datasets to validate our algorithm's effectiveness. On the Su22kV_broken dataset, our approach attains an 85.7% mAP on a single NVIDIA RTX 2080ti graphics card, marking a 7.2% increase over the original YOLOv7. On the PASCAL VOC 2007 dataset, we achieve an impressive 90.3% mAP at a processing speed of 53 FPS, showing a 2.9% improvement compared to the original YOLOv7.
