The invention discloses an infrared panoramic image processing method and platform for electrical equipment detection. An electrical equipment infrared panoramic image acquisition system acquires single-point infrared images of electrical equipment to be detected at different angles, and splices the multiple single-point infrared images to obtain a panoramic infrared image; and then the panoramic infrared image is transmitted to an infrared panoramic image database for the electrical equipment, the database acquires an electrical equipment body area according to the panoramic infrared image, recognizes temperature information of the electrical equipment body area, and finally diagnoses the temperature fault of the temperature information. The method and the platform can complete 360-degree infrared panoramic image acquisition at a single point, and process images, thus extracting a high-quality image; the image processing platform automatically compares and processes the panoramic infrared image to acquire temperature field information of the electrical equipment, and then whether the electrical equipment has a fault is obtained by diagnosis and analysis, so that the diagnosis accuracy is greatly improved, and the working strength of workers is reduced.
