Research on Bird Tracking Algorithm Based on Infrared Target Recognition

Frequent bird activities in substations, converter stations and other important power places could cause short circuit, tripping and other serious accidents. To ensure the smooth running of power equipment, the acousto-optic mode method is now applied to disperse birds, while the broadcast method is not aimed at bird targets, in this case, birds can adapt quickly and make the dispersal device fail. To solve the above problems, this paper proposed a bird autonomous tracking algorithm based on infrared target recognition, which realizes the recognition and positioning of bird targets through fast template matching, and carries out the research on pointing and tracking control method for a two-dimensional PTZ based on the positioning information. The simulation and experimental results show that the method can accurately identify bird targets and achieve directional tracking, which can effectively improve the defects of bird driving equipment, such as insufficient directivity and general pertinence, and greatly enhance the automation of bird driving operation in power grid stations.
