Abstract

The inspection procedure of Chinese high voltage power grid is mainly based on human inspection for many years. This is not only time-consuming and difficult, but the inspection results are also not objective and complete. Aiming at these problems, this paper gives a research method based on UAV-borne laser scanning. By taking the orthophotos of the power line corridor area and using the overlapping feature points of the image, the orientation elements of each photo are inversely calculated. According to the principle of aerial triangulation, the pixel matching algorithm is used to calculate the dense point cloud data of the survey area, and the power line point in the point cloud is selected to simulate the complete power line. By calculating the Euclidean distance between the power line and the power line protection area, the calculated result is compared with the power line safety specification to obtain information such as a tree barrier point or an early warning point. It can effectively identify many important defects such as wire-vegetation, wire-building, wire-crossing, etc., and greatly improve the quality and efficiency of the inspection process of existing high-voltage transmission lines.
