• Abstract summary: This work proposes the Power Line Assets dataset, containing high-resolution and real-world images of power line components. It has 2,409 annotated objects divided into five classes: transmission tower, insulator, spacers, tower plate, and Stockbridge damper. It also presents an evaluation with popular deep object detection methods, showing considerable room for improvement.

• Abstract: Many power line companies are using UAVs to perform their inspection processes instead of putting their workers at risk by making them climb high voltage power line towers, for instance. A crucial task for the inspection is to detect and classify assets in the power transmission lines. However, public data related to power line assets are scarce, preventing a faster evolution of this area. This work proposes the Power Line Assets Dataset, containing high-resolution and real-world images of multiple high-voltage power line components. It has 2,409 annotated objects divided into five classes: transmission tower, insulator, spacer, tower plate, and Stockbridge damper, which vary in size (resolution), orientation, illumination, angulation, and background. This work also presents an evaluation with popular deep object detection methods, showing considerable room for improvement. The PLAD dataset is publicly available at https://github.com/andreluizbvs/PLAD.

  This paper introduces InsPLAD, a Power Line Asset Inspection dataset and Benchmark containing 10,607 high-resolution Unmanned Aerial Vehicles colour images. The dataset contains seventeen unique power line assets captured from real-world operating power lines. We thoroughly evaluate state-of-the-art and popular methods for three image-level computer vision tasks covered by InsPLAD: object detection, through the AP metric; defect classification, through Balanced Accuracy; and anomaly detection, through the AUROC metric.

  This work proposes two novel attention operations as generic hierarchical designs for point-based transformer detectors. First, we propose Multi-Scale Attention (MS-A) that builds multi-scale tokens from a single-scale input feature to enable more fine-grained feature learning. Second, we propose Size-Adaptive Local Attention (Local-A) with adaptive attention regions for localized feature aggregation within bounding box proposals.

We propose to combine traditional and learned approaches to get the best of both worlds: an accurate and robust line detector.

• Embracing Single Stride 3D Object Detector with Sparse Transformer [63.179720817019096]
  In LiDAR-based 3D object detection for autonomous driving, the ratio of the object size to input scene size is significantly smaller compared to 2D detection cases. Many 3D detectors directly follow the common practice of 2D detectors, which downsample the feature maps even after quantizing the point clouds. We propose Single-stride Sparse Transformer (SST) to maintain the original resolution from the beginning to the end of the network.
