摘要

The reliability and safety of power transmission grids critically depend on the condition of insulators, making efficient and accurate defect detection essential. While CNN-based object detection frameworks like YOLO offer a reasonable balance between speed and accuracy, they face limitations in handling class imbalance and complex backgrounds. Transformer-based detectors (e.g., DETR) eliminate the need for Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS) but suffer from high computational costs and slower convergence. To address these challenges, the proposed method is a hybrid Detection Transformer (DETR) framework for insulator defect detection, combining semi-supervised learning with advanced loss methods. Our method introduces Stage-wise Hybrid Matching for generating high-quality pseudo-labels, focal loss to address data imbalance, and Cross-view Query Consistency to enhance feature robustness. Additionally, encoder complexity is optimized, ensuring scalability for UAV- based inspections. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid DETR achieves 85 FPS, surpasses state-of-the-art detectors, including YOLO and DETR variants, achieving superior accuracy and speed across diverse and challenging datasets.
