Abstract
Insulator defects are unavoidable due to long-term exposure and harsh natural environment. With the development of the computer vision and deep learning, researchers have been drawn to automatic unmanned aerial vehicle-based insulator inspection to improve power transmission safety. However, achieving full automation of fine-grained insulator defect detection is still very challenging due to the visual complexity of defects and the high-resolution image computation complexity. This study focuses on fine-grained insulator defect detection by vision transformer based on deep learning. The proposed method is based on a Swin-transformer framework, which focuses on learning hierarchical image feature representation computed with shifted windows scheme. Experiments were carried out on high-resolution image datasets to evaluate the performance of the proposed method for fine-grained insulator defect detection tasks. The results show that the method takes advantage of vision transformer's capabilities and outperforms the state-of-the-art method in terms of mean average precision (mAP) at 94.2% when the intersection threshold over union is set to 0.5.
