The application discloses a kind of unmanned aerial vehicle hoisting task optimization method and device, and the application relates to unmanned aerial vehicle scheduling technical field, comprising the following steps: based on hoisting starting point and target construction site determines hoisting path boundary, and the
point cloud data of this area is collected, set along the way node, obtain the
signal strength of each node and analyze its fluctuation, filter out the effective path point of
signal stability, according to the distance of effective path point and target construction site Priority is set, with hoisting starting point as center, determine search range, select several candidate nodes from it, and collect
wind speed variation,
terrain complexity and cargo swing angle, calculate the risk cost of each node, select the candidate node with the lowest risk cost as the next
waypoint, update the current effective path point of unmanned aerial vehicle, until unmanned aerial vehicle reaches target construction site, complete hoisting transport task, realize more safe and reliable transport movement.
