Problems solved by technology

However, the positioning accuracy of UAVs is low. The location and height of UAVs are all judged by human vision. It is difficult to accurately reach the designated location and height. The quality of shooting varies from person to person, and the standardization is poor. , the location and order of shooting will be quite different, which will make subsequent defect analysis more difficult
At the same time, the phenomenon of human misoperation also occurs from time to time, and it is impossible to fundamentally eliminate it, which increases the safety risk of inspections
Manually operated drone inspections cannot scientifically and reasonably arrange inspection plans based on battery power, which also greatly affects work efficiency

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of patrol inspection of electric power circuits and more specifically relates to an intelligent flight control method and system for fine patrol inspection of a UAV. According to the invention, first, through manual fine patrol inspection, patrol inspection path nodes can be recorded in detail and patrol inspection paths are played back and optimized. Second, pilot fight verification is performed continuous optimization is executed. Finally, a fine patrol inspection path database for each iron tower is formed. Based on the optimized patrol inspection path databases, full automatic flight patrol inspection for the iron towers can be realized. By adopting the iron tower fine patrol inspection operation mode, patrol inspection flight paths are optimized; the positioning precision is far higher than that of manual operation, flight photographing is normalized and quality is ensured. Besides, each UAV can provide patrol inspection for multiple iron towers, outside-visibility range photographing can be realized and battery consumption in a flight process can be in fine control, so that patrol inspection efficiency can be improved. Besides, technical difficulties for patrol inspection operation workers are reduced and the application range is enlarged.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power line patrol inspection, and more specifically, relates to an intelligent flight control method and system for machine-learning efficient, high-precision, and quality-guaranteed refined patrol inspection of intelligent aerial towers. Background technique [0002] Power line inspection mainly includes line external environment inspection, line channel inspection, line equipment inspection, etc. The line equipment inspection includes tower foundation, grounding device, tower body, ground wire, insulator, fittings and accessories, signs and many other equipment components. In order to ensure the good operation of these components, line operation and maintenance personnel are required The equipment conducts regular inspections, finds defects, repairs them in time, and eliminates hidden dangers. Since the line equipment is mainly distributed on the iron tower and the ground wire, it is necessary ...
