The invention discloses a control method and
system for intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle patrol for a power line. The method includes the steps that after receiving an instruction, input by a user, of starting unmanned aerial vehicle operation, an unmanned aerial vehicle base
server transmits the instruction of starting unmanned aerial vehicle operation to a
hangar and an unmanned aerial vehicle; the
hangar responds to the instruction of starting unmanned aerial vehicle operation, and a
hangar door is opened; the unmanned aerial vehicle responds to the instruction of starting unmanned aerial vehicle operation, flies out of the hangar, determines the position of the unmanned aerial vehicle relative to a
tower to be patrolled through a
beacon and transmits shot visible images and
infrared images of the portion to be patrolled to the unmanned aerial vehicle base
server through the hangar; the unmanned aerial vehicle base
server analyzes the visible images and
infrared images of the portion to be patrolled to determine suspected defect points and transmits the suspected defect points and position information of the suspected defect points to a mobile terminal bound in advance. According to the technical scheme, the power line in a region poor in natural condition can be patrolled normally, and safety maintenance can be conducted on the power line better.
