Power Grid Fastener Defect Detection Based on Dual Context Information Fusion

The working state of fasteners is closely related to the safe and stable operation of the power grid. However, the performance of the existing fastener defect detection models is not enough to meet the requirements, because the size of object is small, the environment is complex, the sample size is unbalanced and so on. Therefore, we design a simple but effective feature fusion method, called Double Context Information Enhancement Module. The model can fully learn the features of fasteners by expanding the receptive field of the feature map during the construction of the feature pyramid, and the feature expression ability of fasteners can be enhanced by learning the features of adjacent layers after the construction of the feature pyramid. Through experiments, we proved that DCEM can improve about 8.8AP compared with the original model, and at the same time, the effectiveness and advancement of DCEM are proved by comparing with SOTA.
