Abstract

A review of the current state-of-the-art computer vision applied to the management of power transmission lines is presented. It covers the highest value applications for electric utilities, with a specific interest for applications dedicated on the cable system. Although robotics provides additional means of data collection, this review is not centered on specific platforms. Strategic steps that could favor the efficient introduction of computer vision in the power transmission industry are also discussed.
