Abstract
Accurate interpretation of single-line diagrams (SLDs) is crucial for analyzing electrical systems, as they encapsulate vital information about operational safety and efficiency in a simplified format. Traditional SLD processing methods rely on manual inspection and basic image analysis, which are computationally intensive, error-prone, and require extensive preprocessing. Although deep learning has been applied to symbol classification, existing models often fail to capture fine-grained symbol details, leading to misclassification. To address these limitations, this study proposes a hybrid deep learning-based symbol classification method. A newly created dataset was benchmarked using state-of-the-art deep learning models, and an optimal model was systematically designed, developed, and tested. The proposed approach integrates a Hybrid Residual Attention Module (HRAM) to enhance the…
