Insulator Detection and Defect Classification using Rotation Invariant Local Directional Pattern
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Detecting power line insulator automatically and analyzing their defects are vital processes in maintaining power distribution systems. In this work, a rotation invariant texture pattern named rotation invariant local directional pattern (RI-LDP) is proposed for representing insulator image. For this at first, local directional pattern (LDP) is applied on image which can encode local texture pattern into an eight bit binary code by analyzing magnitude of edge response in eight different directions. Finally this LDP code is made robust to rotation by meticulously rearranging the generated another binary code which named as rotation invariant local directional pattern (RI-LDP). Insulator detection is carried out where this RI-LDP based histogram act as a feature vector and support vector machine (SVM) plays the role of the classifier. The detected insulator image region is further analyzed for possible defect identification. For this, an automatic extraction method of the individual insulator caps is proposed. The defect in segmented insulators is analyzed using LDP texture feature on individual cap region. We evaluated the proposed method using two sets of 493 real-world insulator images captured from a ground vehicle. The proposed insulator detector shows comparable performance to state-of-the-arts and our defect analysis method outperforms existing methods.
