Abstract: The high-voltage power lines and transmission towers are large in volume, large in number, and wide in coverage, so they are easily attached to foreign objects, which may cause failure of the transmission line. The existing object detection methods are susceptible to weather and environmental factors, and the use of neural networks for target detection can achieve good results. Therefore, this article uses MASK R-CNN as the basic network detection method for detecting foreign objects in the transmission network. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional target detection method, the method adopted in this article has achieved good results in the speed, efficiency, and recognition precision of foreign object detection. In the future, image processing operations can be performed for complex backgrounds of transmission lines to improve recognition effect.
