The invention belongs to the technical field of positioning and navigation, and particularly relates to a line
inspection method and
system for unmanned aerial vehicle airborne
power grid X-
ray detection equipment. According to the method, a positioning unmanned aerial vehicle is used for determining a hovering point of a transportation unmanned aerial vehicle on a
power transmission line, after the hovering point is sent to a positioning navigation unit, the positioning navigation unit carries out coordinate
system unification and flight path planning, and the transportation unmanned aerial vehicle receives a flight instruction sent by the positioning navigation unit; carrying the
power grid X-
ray detection equipment to fly to a hovering point according to the path planning of the positioning navigation unit; and releasing the
power grid X-
ray detection equipment, analyzing the acquired X-ray image by the power grid X-ray detection equipment, and transporting the unmanned aerial vehicle
recovery equipment after the acquisition task is completed. According to the invention, the difficulty in releasing and recovering the power grid X-ray detection equipment can be reduced, and the detection efficiency is improved.
