[0054] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0055] Embodiment 1:

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1, a drone aerial survey method for preventing fire sources on transmission towers provided by an embodiment of the present invention, includes steps S1 to S6:

[0057] Step S1: Obtain the position information and structural dimension information of each tower in the transmission line.

[0058] Among them, when obtaining the information, it includes data such as the longitude and latitude, elevation, total height of the tower, and maximum cross-arm length of the tower. Additionally, it also includes the flight parameters of the drone, including data such as flight speed and operation speed.

[0059] In this embodiment, by obtaining various necessary information of the tower and the drone in step S1, it can provide accurate basic data for subsequent route planning, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the drone flight path.

[0060] Step S2: Calculate and generate a basic route according to the position information and structural dimension information of each said tower.

[0061] Preferably, step S2 can be implemented through the following preferred implementation method, including steps S21 to S22, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0062] S21: Calculate and obtain the dimension information of the anti-collision bounding box corresponding to each said tower according to the structural dimension information of each said tower;

[0063] S22: Set each basic flight waypoint according to the position information of each said tower and the dimension information of the anti-collision bounding box, and connect each said basic flight waypoint to generate a basic route.

[0064] In actual implementation operations, the tower numbers to be detected for fire sources can be selected. The numbers can be continuous or discontinuous, and the total round-trip mileage is not recommended to exceed 10 km. When calculating the dimension information of the anti-collision bounding box, the maximum cross-arm length of the tower can be used as the diameter of the bounding box, and the total height of the tower can be used as the height of the bounding box to generate a cylindrical anti-collision bounding box that is transparent to the user, simplifying the model structure.

[0065] In this embodiment, step S2 provides a simplified geometric model for path planning by calculating the dimension information of the anti-collision bounding box corresponding to each tower, simplifying the setting of the safety distance; setting each basic flight waypoint based on the tower position information and the dimension information of the anti-collision bounding box, and connecting these waypoints to generate a basic route, ensuring that the drone can fly safely in a complex environment and avoid collisions with the towers. This not only improves the efficiency of path planning but also enhances the system's safety, ensuring that the drone can efficiently perform tasks in a complex transmission line environment.

[0066] Step S3: Calculate and generate the corresponding sinking route of each tower according to the preset safe distance of the drone tower top, the safe distance of the drone from the tower, the position information and structural size information of each tower.

[0067] Preferably, step S3 can be implemented by the following preferred implementation, including step S31 to step S34, each step is specifically as follows:

[0068] S31: Generate a first constraint condition according to the safety distance of the drone tower top and the size information of the anti-collision bounding box corresponding to each tower;

[0069] Among them, the first constraint condition is used to limit the minimum vertical distance between the drone waypoint position and the top of each tower; in addition, in the specific implementation, as an optional solution, the drone tower top safety distance can be set to 10 meters to generate the first constraint condition to reduce the risk of vertical collision when the drone sinks near the tower.

[0070] S32: generating a second constraint condition according to the safe distance between the drone and the tower and the size information of the anti-collision bounding box corresponding to each tower;

[0071] Among them, the second constraint condition is used to limit the minimum horizontal distance between the drone waypoint position and the top of each tower; in addition, when implementing it, the radius of the maximum cross arm can be increased by 5 meters as the safe distance between the drone and the tower, which is used to generate the second constraint condition to reduce the risk of horizontal collision when the drone sinks near the tower.

[0072] S33: connecting the adjacent towers according to the position information of the current tower and the two adjacent towers in front and behind to obtain the reflex angle with the current tower as the vertex, and taking the direction of the angle bisector of the reflex angle as the horizontal movement direction of sinking;

[0073] During implementation, in addition to considering the collision risk between drones and poles, special attention should be paid to the collision risk between drones and transmission lines. In this scheme, the diagonal direction of the angle of superior angle is selected as the horizontal movement direction to avoid collision with transmission lines as much as possible.

[0074] S34: setting each sinking waypoint according to the position information of each tower, the size information of the anti-collision bounding box, the first constraint condition, the second constraint condition and the horizontal movement direction, and connecting each sinking waypoint to generate a sinking route corresponding to each tower.

[0075] In this embodiment, step S3 restricts the minimum vertical distance between the UAV waypoint position and each tower top by generating a first constraint condition, and restricts the minimum horizontal distance between the UAV waypoint position and each tower top by generating a second constraint condition, ensuring the safety of the UAV when approaching the pole tower. By analyzing the position information of the current pole tower and the two adjacent pole towers before and after, the obtuse angle is obtained and the horizontal movement direction of the descent is determined, enabling the UAV to approach the pole tower along the optimal path and avoiding touching the wire or other obstacles. Finally, according to all relevant information, each descent waypoint is set and a descent route is generated, ensuring that the UAV can accurately reach the predetermined position while maintaining a safe distance, thereby improving the accuracy and safety of task execution.

[0076] Step S4: Calculate and generate a tower-circling route corresponding to each pole tower according to the preset lowest descent position parameter, surrounding safety distance parameter, and the structural dimension information of the pole tower.

[0077] Preferably, step S4 can be implemented through the following preferred implementation method, including steps S41 to S42, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0078] S41: Calculate the surrounding side length corresponding to the pole tower according to the maximum cross-arm radius of the pole tower and the surrounding safety distance parameter;

[0079] S42: Taking the position corresponding to the lowest descent position parameter as the starting point, and using the surrounding side length as the side length of the square flight path, generate the tower-circling route around the pole tower.

[0080] For example, during specific implementation, the lowest descent point of the UAV can be used as the starting point, then the pan-tilt of the UAV is directed towards the ground, and detection points are set for fire source detection. When generating waypoints, the surrounding side length is set as the maximum cross-arm radius plus 5 meters, and the direction perpendicular to the horizontal movement direction is used as the starting direction, and the UAV starts to fly around the pole tower until a square path is generated and returns to the starting point, which can effectively cover the main area of the tower base.

[0081] In this embodiment, step S4 calculates the surrounding side length by calculating the maximum cross-arm radius of the pole tower and the surrounding safety distance parameter, ensuring that the UAV can comprehensively monitor the pole tower and its surrounding area; taking the position corresponding to the lowest descent position parameter as the starting point, and using the surrounding side length as the side length of the square flight path to generate the tower-circling route around the pole tower, ensuring that the UAV can cover all key parts around the pole tower without missing potential fire source points, not only improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of monitoring, but also ensuring the stable flight of the UAV in a complex environment and enhancing the reliability of the system.

[0082] Step S5: Generate a final flight route according to the basic route, descent route, and tower-circling route, and control the UAV to fly according to the final flight route.

[0083] Preferably, step S5 can be implemented by the following preferred implementation manner, including steps S51 to S52. The specific steps are as follows:

[0084] S51: Calculate the required power for aerial surveying to complete the remaining distance based on the flight parameters of the drone and the remaining distance of the final flight path.

[0085] S52: If the required power meets the preset power threshold condition, record the position information of the current waypoint where the drone is located, control the drone to return, and after the drone replenishes power, control the drone to return to the waypoint according to the recorded position information of the waypoint and continue to complete the aerial survey.

[0086] In this embodiment, step S5 introduces a breakpoint resumption flight mechanism. By calculating the power required for the drone to complete the remaining aerial survey and recording the current waypoint position information when the power is insufficient, the drone is controlled to return for charging; after the drone replenishes power, it returns to continue to complete the aerial survey task according to the recorded waypoint position information. This method ensures that even if affected by insufficient power or other objective conditions, the drone can automatically resume and complete the task, guaranteeing the continuity and integrity of the task; not only improving the fault tolerance and reliability of the system, but also ensuring the smooth completion of the fire source detection task and enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the system.

[0087] Step S6: Process the temperature matrix information of each monitoring image obtained in real time by the drone according to the preset fire source warning algorithm to complete fire source detection.

[0088] Preferably, step S6 can be implemented by the following preferred implementation manner, including steps S61 to S62. The specific steps are as follows:

[0089] S61: Obtain in real time the temperature matrix information of the monitoring images of the monitoring points on the tower-circling route, and calculate the highest temperature of the current image according to the temperature matrix information.

[0090] S62: If the highest temperature meets the preset first warning threshold, obtain the temperature at the adjacent time point of the temperature point corresponding to the highest temperature, calculate the difference between the temperature at the adjacent time point and the highest temperature, and determine the temperature point whose difference meets the preset second warning threshold as the fire source point to complete fire source detection.

[0091] Among the existing fire source detection methods, traditional image recognition methods are easily affected by complex environmental factors such as lighting, shadows, and occlusions, resulting in poor recognition effects and high misrecognition rates. Especially in complex terrains such as mountainous areas, these factors may be more prominent, further reducing the accuracy and reliability of wildfire monitoring. This application combines the temperature matrix information of the infrared lens and the calculation of temperature field jumps. By setting reasonable temperature thresholds and jump values, it effectively reduces misrecognition situations caused by environmental factors or equipment performance. For example, the first warning threshold is set to 60°C, and the second warning threshold is set to 20°C, improving the accuracy of fire source recognition and reducing misjudgments. In addition, when dealing with complex environments, the orientation of the pan-tilt on the drone can be dynamically adjusted to avoid interference factors such as lighting, shadows, and occlusions, improving the reliability of detection.

[0092] In this embodiment, step S6 obtains the temperature matrix information of the monitoring screen at the monitoring points on the tower-circling route in real time, and calculates the highest temperature of the current screen based on this information to preliminarily screen out possible fire source points. If the highest temperature meets the preset first warning threshold, the temperature at the adjacent time point of this temperature point is further obtained, and the temperature difference is calculated. The temperature points that meet the preset second warning threshold are determined as fire source points, which not only improves the accuracy of fire source detection, but also can detect incipient fire sources in a timely manner, ensuring the rapidity and effectiveness of emergency response, reducing the false alarm rate, and improving the overall performance of the system.

[0093] In summary, compared with the prior art, the above embodiments of this application have the following beneficial effects: obtaining position and structural dimension information, providing accurate basic data for subsequent flight path planning, and ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the UAV flight path; through reasonable path planning, calculating and generating a basic route, reducing unnecessary flight distances, and improving task execution efficiency; calculating and generating a descent route based on information such as the safe distance between the UAV and the tower top and the safe distance between the UAV and the tower, ensuring that the UAV maintains a sufficient safe distance when approaching the pole tower and avoiding collision risks; calculating and generating a tower-circling route based on the surrounding safety distance parameter and the structural dimension information of the pole tower, ensuring comprehensive monitoring of the pole tower and its surrounding areas without missing potential fire source points; by comprehensively planning the final flight path, and by obtaining temperature matrix information in real time and combining with the warning algorithm, the accuracy and timeliness of fire source detection are improved.
