Abstract
To address the limitations of current transmission line point cloud segmentation algorithms in accurately segmenting fine-grained structures, this paper proposes a model named TLSNet. The network addresses the issue of uneven point cloud distribution through a dynamic density adaptation mechanism (DALNF-Layer), achieves cross-scale context modeling with a hierarchical-offset transformer (DLCTransformer), and optimizes gradient propagation using the inverted residual module (InvResMLP). Together, these components form an efficient point cloud segmentation framework tailored for the complex scenarios of transmission lines. Experimental results demonstrate that TLSNet achieves precise segmentation of key regions in transmission line point clouds, outperforming existing algorithms in segmentation accuracy. This advancement provides a solid technical foundation for the digital operation and maintenance of transmission lines, as well as for autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) inspection path planning.
期刊介绍:
Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results.
We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
