Algorithms for Object Detection in Substations

Bingying Jin, Yadong Liu, Qinlin Qian

Inspection of high-voltage power equipment is an effective way to ensure power supply reliability. Object recognition, one of the key technologies in automatic power equipment inspection, attracts attention of many researchers and engineers. Although quite a few existing models have some their own advantages, object relationship between equipment which is very important in this task is scarcely considered. This paper combining object relationship modeling and Transformer Model proposes a Relation Transformer Model. It has four parts -- backbone, encoder, decoder and prediction heads. With this structure, the proposed method shows in experiments a much better performance than other three commonly used models in object recognition in substation, largely promoting the development of automatic power equipment inspection.
