Abstract: Power industry safety risk identification and prevention and control is of great significance to the safety of power production and operators. In recent years, with the development of artificial intelligence technology, production risk identification based on power scene perception image and computer vision methods such as target detection has been widely concerned. However, power production is a complex process of human machine object multi fusion and interaction, and the effect of existing intelligent identification methods is limited, so it is urgent to realize intelligent safety risk recognition combined with power production knowledge. Therefore, based on the analysis of the basic characteristics and research status of power industry security risk, this paper proposed the basic concept of image interpretation for power industry safety. The necessity and research significance of image interpretation of power industry safety were introduced. Then, the technical framework of power industry safety risk interpretation was put forward, and the key technologies, special problems and solutions of safety risk interpretation in power industry were discussed, focusing on the key technology of power industry security risk interpretation. Finally, the future application and challenges of safety image interpretation in power industry were summarized and prospected.
