In the context of difficulty in detection problems and the limited computing resources of various fault scales in aerial images of transmission line UAV inspections, this paper proposes a TD-YOLO algorithm (YOLO for transmission detection). Firstly, the Ghost module is used to lighten the model’s feature extraction network and prediction network, significantly reducing the number of parameters and the computational effort of the model. Secondly, the spatial and channel attention mechanism scSE (concurrent spatial and channel squeeze and channel excitation) is embedded into the feature fusion network, with PA-Net (path aggregation network) to construct a feature-balanced network, using channel weights and spatial weights as guides to achieving the balancing of multi-level and multi-scale features in the network, significantly improving the detection capability under the coexistence of multiple targets of different categories. Thirdly, a loss function, NWD (normalized Wasserstein distance), is introduced to enhance the detection of small targets, and the fusion ratio of NWD and CIoU is optimized to further compensate for the loss of accuracy caused by the lightweightedness of the model. Finally, a typical fault dataset of transmission lines is built using UAV inspection images for training and testing. The experimental results show that the TD-YOLO algorithm proposed in this article compresses 74.79% of the number of parameters and 66.92% of the calculation amount compared to YOLOv7-Tiny and increases the mAP (mean average precision) by 0.71%. The TD-YOLO was deployed into Jetson Xavier NX to simulate the UAV inspection process and was run at 23.5 FPS with good results. This study offers a reference for power line inspection and provides a possible way to deploy edge computing devices on unmanned aerial vehicles. |
