A Machine Vision-Based Character Recognition System for Suspension Insulator Iron Caps.
IEEE Trans. Instrum. Meas.(2023)
摘要
Character recognition on the surfaces of iron caps is pivotal in the automated production of suspension insulators. This article proposes a machine vision-based character recognition system for the iron caps of suspension insulators in order to solve the problem of recognizing curved characters with 3-D structures and severe surface reflections. In this system, first, the 3-D character extraction system (3D-CES) converts 3-D characters on curved surfaces to flat 2-D characters. Then, the 2-D characters are segmented into individual characters using an improved drop-fall (IDF) segmentation algorithm. Finally, the individual characters are recognized using a pruned Visual Geometry Group 16 (VGG-16) network. This article tested the proposed system on real iron cap data, and a recognition accuracy of 98.3% was achieved. The performance of the proposed system is higher than existing deep-learning-based text character recognition methods by 2.9%.
