“…Recent studies and advancements in the field of image processing and computer vision, especially the development of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have enabled improving the performance of image analysis at the level of near human intelligence. On the other hand, with the rapidly expanding scale of power grids, traditional methods of manual inspection using electromagnetic field meters is far from satisfying the growing demand, due to the vulnerability to bad weather conditions and high prices [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Consequently, in recent years, many researchers have developed image processing techniques to detect electrical facilities including power lines [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ], electric poles [ 11 , 12 , 13 ] and insulators [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ] and analyze their defects [ 18 ] using aerial or ground images.…”
