With the steady progress of the intelligent development of power systems, as well as the higher demand for power supply reliability. It is essential to achieve the effective monitoring of substations 24 h a day. The vigorous development of deep learning network brings strong theoretical and technical support to the unmanned and intelligent construction of the substation. To identify the on/off state of the isolation switch in the substation robot inspection image, this paper proposes a method for identifying the isolation switch state of YOLOv4 (You Only Look Once V4) network based on transfer learning. Firstly, for the insufficient number of samples, transfer learning is introduced, and the network feature extraction layer is pre-trained by using public data sets. Secondly, images of isolation switch are obtained by a fixed camera and inspection robot in the substation, and data set of isolation switch is constructed. Finally, the isolation switch data set is used to train the YOLOv4 network. The test results show that compared with YOLOv3 and YOLOv4, the network can improve the identification precision of the isolation switch.
