Abstract: To solve the problems of poor positioning accuracy and stability of existing insulators identified by UAV aerial photography transmission lines, a Libra-RCNN insulator detection model based on ASFF pyramid network is proposed. Firstly, the FRN normalized layer is used to replace the original BN layer to eliminate the dependence of the normalized layer on the size of training batch and increase the learning efficiency of the model.Then, ASFF network structure is introduced into Libra-RCNN algorithm pyramid to effectively solve the problem of inconsistency inside the feature pyramid.Finally, GIoU crossover ratio is used to replace the original IoU crossover ratio to better accurate insulator position.In Insulators_Datasets data set, the average accuracy of improved Libra-RCNN model is 94.10%, and the recall rate is 97.51%.Compared with the original Libra-RCNN model, the improvement rate is 2.23% and 2.61% respectively, which indicates that the proposed algorithm can identify insulators stably and effectively.
