Windage Yaw Angle Detection of Suspension Insulator Strings Based on Edge Feature Matching

Abstract

By in-depth analysis and summary of tower suspension insulator strings images collected, a algorithm of edge feature matching of suspension insulator strings was proposed to detect the windage yaw angle in real-time. By filter, image grayscale, interframe difference and edge feature matching which based on invariance Generalized Hough Transform (IGHT) and local feature of suspension insulator strings stored in a database, the coordinates of the ends of suspension insulator strings were determined, and then the size of windage yaw angle of suspension insulator strings was calculated. The algorithm proposed can provide translation, scaling and rotation invariance, and be better matching accuracy and robustness.
