Abstract Insulators, as typical equipment for distribution networks, provide good electrical insulation between live conductors and earth. Timely and accurate detection is essential for insulator detection issues. However, as the complexity of neural networks increases, the detection efficiency is often lower. Therefore, this paper proposes a fast insulator positioning and defect detection method. Firstly, for insulator target localization, the SqueezeNet network is improved using ECA attention mechanism. In addition, to address the issue of low defect detection accuracy, a joint algorithm has been proposed. The integration of convolutional variational autoencoder (CVAE) and generative adversarial network (GAN) solve their own shortcomings due to different image focus angles. The target localization accuracy reaches 94.30%, and the defect detection accuracy reaches 89.60%. It solves the problems of difficulty in locating small targets in a large field of view and inaccurate detection due to a small number of abnormal samples. This method has been tried and tested in practical distribution network systems.
