The invention discloses a power grid image recognition system and a power grid image recognition method. The system comprises a service integration layer and a service implementation layer, wherein the service integration layer comprises a service gateway and a service registration center, the service registration center is used for registering different types of services, and the service gatewaycan receive a request from the outside, and forward the request to the corresponding type of services after finding the corresponding services; and the service implementation layer comprises a business service and a basic service, the basic server provides an image recognition basic algorithm function and an image recognition basic training function, and the business service receives the request forwarded by the service gateway, and implements treatment on the request through calling the basic service. According to the system and the method provided by the invention, the flexile access capacity is provided for the subsequent new image algorithm service, and the convenience is provided for subsequent upgrade and expansion of a pattern recognition engine, so that the pattern recognition technology can well serve the power industry; pattern recognition can be achieved by using a mobile terminal for collecting equipment information and initiating the request for the service gateway of thesystem when equipment is inspected, and the working efficiency is enhanced.
