Randomized trial measures dynamic displacement in overhead transmission lines, indicating a new tool for safety monitoring.
Galloping of overhead transmission lines threatens grid safety and requires non-contact measurement methods that can quantify three-dimensional (3D) motion from field video. This paper proposes a deep-vision and binocular-collaboration framework for dynamic conductor displacement measurement. The framework combines three components that are matched to the physical structure of transmission lines: adaptive image enhancement using Retinex illumination decomposition and Wiener blind deconvolution; a structure-prior dual-branch extraction module that uses an improved YOLOv11 keypoint branch for spacer-equipped sections and an improved U-Net branch with Dynamic Snake Convolution (DSC) and Strip Pooling for bare conductors; and stereo reconstruction with Kalman-filter-based temporal association for continuous trajectory estimation. Compared with the original submission, the revised manuscript further clarifies the real-video data acquisition, annotation procedure, camera synchronization, calibration workflow, training/testing independence, and runtime measurement protocol. Additional validation on a public real power-line image dataset is also reported. The proposed method achieves a Z-axis Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 24.5 mm for spacer sections in the controlled binocular field test, a dominant-frequency relative error below 3.5%, and 32 FPS on edge hardware when preprocessing, visual extraction, stereo projection, and temporal filtering are included. On the supplementary public power-line dataset, the segmentation branch obtains a Dice coefficient of 0.9039 and an IoU of 0.8395. These results indicate that the proposed framework reduces the depth-scale limitation of monocular vision and provides a practical quantitative tool for field galloping monitoring.
