Insulator identification method and device

The invention provides an insulator identification method and device. The insulator identification method provided by the invention comprises the steps of: acquiring a to-be-identified picture, wherein the to-be-identified picture comprises a picture containing an insulator, a picture containing a damaged insulator and a picture not containing an insulator; and inputting the to-be-identified picture into an insulator identification model to obtain an insulator identification result, wherein the insulator identification model comprises a corresponding relationship between the to-be-identified picture and an insulator identification result, the insulator recognition model comprises an attention layer, and the attention layer is used for determining position data of the insulator in the to-be-identified picture. According to the insulator identification method and the device, the insulator is highlighted in a complex background through utilizing the attention layer, so that the insulatorrecognition model can acc
