Equipment detection and recognition in electric power room based on faster R-CNN.

Faster RCNN is a popular and very efficient object detection algorithm, it has good performance in image recognition in various fields. In this paper, we applied the Faster RCNN algorithm to the equipment recognition and status detection tasks in the electric power room, then proposed a complete technical implementation scheme. First of all, after site investigation and shooting, we collected a total of 5600 pictures in 100 categories of electrical equipment. Then, we achieved the labeled pictures for all categories by employing an open source software named Labelimg. In the next step, the annotated data was randomly shuffled, 70% of which was used as the training set for model training, 10% of which was used as the validation set for model tuning, and the remaining data was used as the test set for model testing. We get less than 0.01% loss in training step and get 91.3% mAP for all test pictures in testing step. Besides, the test for video received a great performance. The well performance on the test pictures and videos showed the effectiveness and implementability of our technical solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
