Abstract

With more and more wind turbines coming into operation, inspecting wind farms has become a challenging task. Currently, the inspection robot has been applied to inspect some essential parts of the wind turbine nacelle. The detection of multiple objects in the wind turbine nacelle is a prerequisite for the condition monitoring of some essential parts of the nacelle by the inspection robot. In this paper, we improve the original YOLOX-Nano model base on the short monitoring time of the inspected object by the inspection robot and the slow inference speed of the original YOLOX-Nano. The accuracy and inference speed of the improved YOLOX-Nano model are enhanced, and especially, the inference speed of the model is improved by 72.8%, and it performs better than other lightweight network models on embedded devices. The improved YOLOX-Nano greatly satisfies the need for a high-precision, low-latency algorithm for multi-object detection in wind turbine nacelle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
