Night Lighting Fault Detection Based on Improved YOLOv5

Night lighting is essential for urban life, and the occurrence of faults can significantly affect the presentation of lighting effects. Many reasons can cause lighting faults, including the damage of lamps and circuits, and the typical manifestation of the faults is that the lights do not light up. The current troubleshooting mainly relies on artificial visual inspection, making detecting faults difficult and time-consuming. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce technical means to detect lighting faults. However, current research on lighting fault detection mainly focuses on using non-visual methods such as sensor data analysis, which has the disadvantages of having a high cost and difficulty adapting to large-scale fault detection. Therefore, this study mainly focuses on solving the problem of the automatic detection of night lighting faults using machine vision methods, especially object detection methods. Based on the YOLOv5 model, two data fusion models have been developed based on the characteristics of lighting fault detection inverse problems: YOLOv5 Channel Concatenation and YOLOv5 Image Fusion. Based on the dataset obtained from the developed automatic image collection and annotation system, the training and evaluation of these three models, including the original YOLOv5, YOLOv5 Channel Concatenation, and YOLOv5 Image Fusion, have been completed. Research has found that applying complete lighting images is essential for the problem of lighting fault detection. The developed Image Fusion model can effectively fuse information and accurately detect the occurrence and area of faults, with a mAP value of 0.984. This study is expected to play an essential role in the intelligent development of urban night lighting.
