Investigation of the state of materials of power lines by multispectral optical-electronic devices

Abstract

This article describes the basic methodological aspects of designing multispectral optoelectronic devices for the remote inspection of overhead power lines. A method for selecting operating spectral areas for these devices was suggested on the basis of the proposed detection criteria. The proposed method considers physical phenomena that occur during the visual inspection and detection of objects. It allows the rational selection of operating areas of a multispectral device, including the number, width, and location of these areas in the optical spectrum. The author determines that effect of the spectral area width on object detection probability can be estimated by the correlation between spectral and integral contrasts. The optimal operating areas for multispectral devices with direct image visualization are selected according to the developed method.

“…Insufficient attention has been paid towards quantum-size phenomena (for example, the formation of two-electron (2e) and two-hole (2h) centers with negative correlation energy). This fact is all the more important since the analysis of the solutions to optimization problems of modern instrumentation and material processing [19,20], namely the design, manufacture, implementation of devices and prototypes [21], diagnostics (including the development of local micro-and nanodiagnostic systems) [22], as well as control and infocommunication systems [23], indicates the existence of uncertainty and only the relative possibility of its reduction based on reliable quantitative optimizing information in the form of physical models [24][25][26] describing the relationship between the recorded signals and the interaction processes of various physical fields with matter.…”
