计算机视觉技术及其在电力系统自动化中的应用

随着视频技术和红外成像技术在电力系统中的广泛应用，图像信息在电力系统自动化中所起的作用越来越重要，而且对图像信息分析与理解的要求也越来越高，使得在一些应用场合必须利用计算机视觉技术由计算机替代监控人员进行图像理解。文中从计算机视觉的两个方面——图像识别和三维重建——介绍了计算机视觉技术的基本内容，在已有的或设想的一些应用实例的基础上，探讨了计算机视觉技术特别是图像识别技术在电力系统自动化中应用的必要性和应用前景。

COMPUTER VISION TECHNIQUE AND ITS APPLICATION TO AUTOMATION OF POWER SYSTEMS

With the widespread application of video frequency technique and infrared imaging technique to power systems, the role of image information in the automation of power systems is becoming increasingly important, and higher and higher requirements for image processing and understanding are made. So in certain cases of application, monitoring people have to be replaced by the computer to understand images with the computer vision technique. This paper describes the basic contents of computer vision technique concerning its two aspects, i.e. image recognition and 3 D reconstruction. Based on some existing and assumed application examples, it investigates the necessity and prospects for application of computer vision technique (especially image recognition technique) to the automation of power systems.
