Insulation defect identification based on 3D laser point cloud data of power cables
A method for identifying insulation defects based on 3D laser point cloud data of power cables was proposed to address the issue of low accuracy in identifying insulation defects of power cables.The original 3D laser point cloud data were enhanced by using clipping method.The 3D structural surface information of cable insulation material was obtained completely through region growing method and least square method.The edge information of surface defects and internal defects of cable insulation were solved by Canny edge detection method,and the defect location and type of power cable insulation were automatically identified.The results indicate that the as-proposed method can accurately identify scratches,blistering and holes on the insulation surface of cables,with short recognition time and relatively high robustness.It has higher practical application value.
