Abstract

The application of remote digital video surveillance and image recognition technology in online monitoring of power equipment is conducive to timely equipment maintenance and troubleshooting. In order to solve the problem of slow speed and large amount of computation of traditional template matching algorithm for power image recognition, a second template matching algorithm for fast recognition of target image is proposed in this article. Firstly, a quarter of the template data is taken and matched within a quarter of the source image, and a reasonable error threshold is given in the matching process. Then, the neighborhood of the minimum error point in rough matching is matched to get the final result. Finally, the algorithm is applied to identify the power equipment and detect the abnormal state of the power equipment. The experimental results show that the matching algorithm can not only accurately locate and identify power equipment and detect equipment faults, but also greatly improve the matching speed compared with other commonly used template matching algorithms.
