摘　　要：The accumulation of defects on wind turbine blade surfaces can lead to irreversible damage,impacting the aero-dynamic performance of the blades.To address the challenge of detecting and quantifying surface defects on wind turbine blades,a blade surface defect detection and quantification method based on an improved Deeplabv3+deep learning model is proposed.Firstly,an improved method for wind turbine blade surface defect detection,utilizing Mobilenetv2 as the backbone feature extraction network,is proposed based on an original Deeplabv3+deep learning model to address the issue of limited robustness.Secondly,through integrating the concept of pre-trained weights from transfer learning and implementing a freeze training strategy,significant improvements have been made to enhance both the training speed and model training accuracy of this deep learning model.Finally,based on segmented blade surface defect images,a method for quantifying blade defects is proposed.This method combines image stitching algorithms to achieve overall quantification and risk assessment of the entire blade.Test results show that the improved Deeplabv3+deep learning model reduces training time by approximately 43.03%compared to the original model,while achieving mAP and MIoU values of 96.87%and 96.93%,respectively.Moreover,it demonstrates robustness in detecting different surface defects on blades across different back-grounds.The application of a blade surface defect quantification method enables the precise quantification of dif-ferent defects and facilitates the assessment of risk levels associated with defect measurements across the entire blade.This method enables non-contact,long-distance,high-precision detection and quantification of surface defects on the blades,providing a reference for assessing surface defects on wind turbine blades.
