ABSTRACT:
A visual monitoring system for an electric power substation includes at least one camera for obtaining the image of various operational indicators in the substation, either within the control house, outdoors or both. The indicators could be the status of various gauges, including current, voltage and temperature gauges, or other structural elements, such as the position of various switches, the level of oil in a transformer sight glass, or whether a transformer fan is running, among others. The image is then enhanced to accentuate the desired features, and the desired data is then image detected. The resulting information is then compared against a standard to determine whether or not the operational status of the indicator is abnormal.
