Abstract

The goal of this paper is to evaluate from a multi-objective perspective the performance on the detection of catenary support components when using state-of-the-art deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs). The detection of components is the first step towards a complete automatized monitoring system that will provide actual information about defects in the catenary support devices. A series of experiments in an unified test environment for detection of components are performed using Faster-CNN, R-FCN, SSD, and YOLOv2. Through the comparison of different assessment indicators, such as precision, recall, average precision and mean average precision, the detection performance of the different DCNNs methods for the components of the catenary support devices is analyzed, discussed and evaluated. The experiment results show that among all considered methods, R-FCN is the more suitable for the detection of catenary support components.
