An intelligent vision recognition method based on deep learning for pointer meters
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Nowadays, pointer instruments remain the main state monitoring devices in the power industry, because they have strong mechanical stability to resist electromagnetic interferences compared with digital instruments. Although the object detection algorithms based on deep learning have widely been used in the field of instrument detection, the meter recognition process still relies on threshold segmentation to recognize object points and on Hough transform to extract the meter pointer. An intelligent vision recognition method based on YOLOv5 and U2-Net network (YLU2-Net) is proposed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of meter recognition in a complex environment. Firstly, the pointer meter is located in the instrument images by using the YOLOv5 network as a region of interest (RoI). Then, the instrument RoI is processed by means of perspective transformation and image resizing. Thirdly, an improved U2-Net image segmentation method with the deep separable convolution and the focal loss function is devised to distinguish the pointers and scales from the background in the instrument RoI. Further, a dimension reduction reading method with the polar coordinate transformation is developed to calculate the meter reading accurately and efficiently. Finally, the ablation experiment is conducted to test the performance of each algorithm module in our method, and the competition experiment is completed to compare our method with other state-of-the-art ones. The experimental results verify the accuracy and efficiency of the YLU2-Net recognition method proposed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
