At present, most pointer instruments are subjected to reading interpretation by human eyes, the accuracy is low, the workload is large, the efficiency is low in the human eye identification process, and the pointer instruments are not suitable for human eyes to identify in high-temperature, high-pressure and high-radiation environments such as a transformer substation, so that researches on reading identification of the pointer instruments by replacing manual work with machines are necessary.
The reading identification of the pointer instrument mainly comprises three steps: meter positioning, dial element extraction and number interpretation. The instrument positioning mainly comprises Hough circle transformation detection and template matching methods; the dial element extraction mainly comprises Hough transformation, a subtraction method, a central projection method, a least square method, a region growing method and the like; the reading interpretation mainly comprises a distance method and an angle method. In instrument positioning, the Hough transformation circle detection and feature matching method is low in efficiency and low in speed. The central projection method, the subtraction method and the region growing method during dial element extraction have high requirements on acquiring instrument images, are easily influenced by a shooting environment, have poor robustness, and have large calculation amount and high error of Hough transformation and the least square method, so that the speed of extracting a pointer is low. In the method for reading the reading number of the instrument, the error of an angle method is large, and the calculated amount of a distance method is large. In addition, the inventor also finds that the current meter reading identification methods only perform reading identification on one type of meter and cannot identify multiple types of meters at the same time.
