Automatic reading of pointer meters based on R-YOLOv7 and MIMO-CTFNet
To solve the problems in current pointer meter reading methods,such as the complicated reading process,significant reading errors,and the motion blur caused by camera shakes,an automatic reading method based on R-YOLOv7 and MIMO-CTFNet(multi-input multi-output CNN-transformer fusion network)was proposed.First,the R-YOLOv7 algorithm was constructed to consider both accuracy and lightweight for detecting the dial and its key information.Then,a MIMO-CTFNet algorithm was designed to recover the motion-blurred meter images.Finally,the angle method based on the extracted small scales was utilized to perform meter reading.The experimental results showed that for the data set of dial key information finding,the parameters,FLOPs,ADT,and mAP50:95 were 12 M,60.30 G,17.04 ms,and 86.5%,respectively.The PSNR and SSIM of the improved MIMO-CTFNet algorithm achieved 33.05 dB and 0.935 3,respectively.The maximum fiducial error of the proposed reading method was 0.35%,and the reading time for images requiring and not requiring motion blur was 0.561 s and 0.128 s,respectively,validating the effectiveness of the proposed method.
