Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, there are still many infrastructures such as base stations and computer rooms of communication operators using mechanical meters. It takes a lot of manpower to copy the meter line codes every month, which is inefficient and error-prone. The existing technology object detection network relies on the area proposal algorithm to assume The location of the object, since the meter image is uploaded by the meter reader using a mobile phone to take pictures of the meter, there may be situations such as blurred photos and too dark light, which have a great impact on recognition

Embodiment Construction

[0026] The invention proposes a deep learning-based recognition method for the line code of the electric meter, and the line code of the electric meter can be automatically recognized by taking a picture of the electric meter. The present invention uses the Faster-RCNN method to detect and locate the line code area of ​​the meter, uses the convolutional neural network to predict the category scores of a series of candidate frames by using the convolution kernel on the feature map, and uses the category with the highest score as the output result.

[0027] see figure 1 , the present invention is a kind of digital ammeter reading adaptive recognition method based on deep learning, comprising the following steps:

[0028] S1. In the early stage, more than 3,000 electric meter images of mechanical meters, digital tube meters and non-smart meters were collected (these were obtained by the meter reader's mobile phone);

[0029] S2. Divide the electric meter data set in the hands of...

Abstract

The invention discloses a digital electric meter reading self-adaptive identification method based on deep learning, comprising the following steps: acquiring a mechanical electric meter, a nixie tubemeter and a non-intelligent electric meter to establish an electric meter image data set, generating a standard data set of a Pascal Voc system, and adopting a Faster-RCNN algorithm to train the generated standard data set to complete the number identification and frame selection work of the electric meter, using the convolutional neural network for predicting category scores of a series of candidate frames on the feature map by using a convolution kernel, and using the category with the highest score as an output result to complete adaptive identification. The method can achieve the adaptivepositioning of digital regions of different types of electric meters, and achieves the recognition of characters in the digital regions through a character recognition algorithm after image preprocessing.
