| With the booming development of offshore wind power, operation and maintenance (O&M) work has become an increasingly prominent issue. Turbine blades’operation and maintenance work is crucial to the unit as a large-scale key wind power component. In order to address the problems of high risk, poor efficiency, and low accuracy in offshore wind turbine blade manual operation and maintenance inspection. This paper proposes a machine vision inspection system for offshore wind turbine blade defects, based on the enhanced YOLOv5x algorithm. In this system, a CBAM attention mechanism is introduced to enhance the neural network’s ability to perceive input features. Additionally, the Weighted Intersection over Union (WIoU) is employed as the loss function to alleviate errors in manually annotated data and improve target detection accuracy. Based data on offshore wind turbine blade flaws are used to train the model. An offshore wind turbine blade machine vision identification system incorporates the learned model. The experimental findings demonstrate that the YOLOv5x algorithm, introducing the CBAM attention mechanism compared to the original one, improves the mAP value by 4.71% , the Precision value by 7.48% and satisfies the real-time criteria. |
