First, field pictures of line fire events were collected to build data sets. Secondly, the introduction of LSKNet replacing the original path aggregation network enables the model to adaptively select and adjust the size of convolution kernels according to the features of different targets, more accurately match the requirements of target features and background information at different scales, and significantly improve the robustness of defect identification in complex scenarios.
