Precision in Aerial Surveillance: Integrating YOLOv8 With PConv and CoT for Accurate Insulator Defect Detection
Insulator defect detection using autonomous aerial vehicles (AAVs) images is a promising method for power transmission line inspections.However, varying sizes, orientations, and complex backgrounds of insulator defects result in high false negatives and low accuracy.Previous studies have not adequately incorporated self-attention mechanisms focusin
