Distribution grid network has problems such as long mileage, large scale, complex surrounding environment, and aging of equipment. It is the development trend of power distribution network operation and maintenance to use unmanned aerial vehicles to patrol and combine with image processing technology for intelligent detection of equipment status. Image segmentation is well-known technique for extracting defect regions of equipment from distribution network inspection images. Therefore, this paper proposes an efficient a novel multilevel thresholding segmentation method to improve the fault dia...
