A road detection UAV and its automatic cruising method

Abstract

The invention discloses a road detection unmanned aerial vehicle and an automatic cruising method thereof. The unmanned aerial vehicle comprises an airframe, a power system, a vision system, a flight control system, a road detection system and a ground station system, wherein the vision system is used for acquiring deviation between an actual air route and a road route of the unmanned aerial vehicle; the flight control system is used for adjusting a flight posture of the unmanned aerial vehicle and correcting the deviation of the air route, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle automatically flies along the road route; the road detection system is used for detecting the quality of a road surface and storing a road detection result; the ground station system is used for drawing a pre-set unmanned aerial vehicle air route. In a road detection process, the road detection unmanned aerial vehicle can automatically fly along a road by combining the vision system and the pre-set air route; the road detection result is stored into a storage module of the road detection unmanned aerial vehicle in the road detection process, and the road detection unmanned aerial vehicle does not need to communicate with a ground station and can be used for long-distance road detection; the road detection can be realized in the air, and road detection devices with different types can be carried; road traffic is not hindered in the road detection process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of road detection, and in particular relates to a road detection unmanned aerial vehicle and an automatic cruising method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the rapid growth of highway operating mileage in our country, road maintenance tasks are becoming more and more arduous. How to quickly, economically, effectively and accurately determine problematic road sections, and adopt the principle of nearest road maintenance in time is of great significance for ensuring driving safety and reducing road maintenance costs. [0003] The existing road inspection equipment is mainly based on road inspection vehicles, which have defects such as the need for personnel to track and inspect, high inspection costs, small inspection range, and inspection efficiency restricted by traffic conditions. With the development of UAV technology, its application fields are more and more, and the use of UAV for road inspecti...

Problems solved by technology

Due to the limitation of the communication distance of UAVs, road detection UAVs are mainly used for short-distance road detection, and the detection process still relies on human intervention and control on the ground. This problem seriously restricts the further development and development of road detection UAVs. application
