It is expected that the criteria would propose advanced inspection system for detecting the Transmission power line of unusual condition such as the damage or the aged deterioration. In this paper, we propose the method for estimating the region of the power line from the images obtained from the camera mounted on the automated moving device. Our method focused on the periodical feature of the aluminum conductors on the surface of the power line. This algorithm estimated the region of the power line even though there are the complex backgrounds with the roof of the building or the grove by using Gabor Filtering. These results are utilized in post processing of the detection of the power line and its automatic visual inspection.
