Status recognition of isolator based on SmartGuard

摘要

This paper concerns the method for checking the status of isolators and is applied in the sequence control in smart substation based on SmartGuard--a mobile inspection robot for substations. It can recognize the status of an isolator through analyzing its feature. We could get the homography matrix by using the SIFT feature between the template image and new acquired image, then get the range of isolator, finally recognize the status of isolator by image processing. The experiment of results proved that the method could recognize isolator status effectively. The substation realizes one key sequence control system through this technology based SmartGuard.
