The invention relates to a method for automatically correcting and updating the
route of an
electric power inspection unmanned aerial vehicle, which comprises the following steps of: S1, collecting and integrating
geographic information system (GIS) data of an inspection area, and constructing a
topological graph; s2, obtaining detailed
point cloud data of the ground and the
power grid facilities, and constructing a 3D model according to the obtained
point cloud data; s3, based on the
topological graph and the 3D model, extracting a key position from the 3D model by using an
algorithm, determining an initial
waypoint, extracting waypoints from the key position of the
power grid equipment, connecting all the extracted waypoints by using a path planning
algorithm, and generating an initial inspection
route; s4, correcting the initial inspection
route in combination with real-time weather, equipment priority and historical data; and S5, combining the combination degree RTK GPS and an environment adaptive VIO
algorithm to realize sub-meter positioning precision, and after the key position centralization is successful, automatically updating the
waypoint and immediately uploading the
waypoint to a control center to realize automatic updating of the route. The accuracy and efficiency of unmanned aerial
vehicle inspection are effectively improved.
