Abstract :
Insulators are very important in the power system. The fault caused by insulator flashover is in second place of the insulator fault. In this paper, the insulator surface dirt image detection technology using the improved watershed image segmentation is introduced. The experimental result shows that this method can be applied to the insulator online monitoring system in power transmission system.
