Workplace video surveillance and timely response to operational violations are critical to avoid operator injuries at power construction sites. Here, a system that combines remote substation construction management and artificial intelligence object detection techniques to intellectualize the power construction management process and identify violations during construction in real time is proposed. To improve the detection accuracy, a data augmentation method, including three operations: (1) object segmentation and background fusion; (2) partial erasing; and (3) other basic transformations, is also proposed. Six variants of the You Only Look Once (YOLO) model are trained as detectors for comparative experiments on a dataset collected at the practical construction site. The experimental results show that the detection precision and recall of the YOLOv5‐s model are 0.852 and 0.922, with high accuracy and low miss rate, which meet the requirements of robustness and accuracy in detecting realistic power construction violations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
