[0052] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] See also Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides an automatic sag measurement method for power transmission projects based on laser point cloud. Here, the Qizhuang-Yinghu 220kV line project in Suqian City, Jiangsu Province is taken as an example to illustrate the implementation process of the present invention in detail.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown in the implementation flow chart of the present invention, a method for automatic sag measurement of power transmission engineering based on laser point cloud comprises the following steps:

[0055] (1) Inputting the LAS format power transmission project laser point cloud file in units of span, and dividing it into four categories: ground points, vegetation points, tower points and power line points. Step (1) includes the following steps:

[0056] 1-1) Input the LAS format point cloud file in units of span, and use statistical analysis methods to filter out outliers;

[0057] 1-2) By traversing each point in the point cloud, extract the points with classification number 2 and classify them as ground points, extract the points with classification numbers 3 to 9 and classify them as vegetation points, and classify the remaining points according to their respective classification numbers to form a point cloud set P_SET = {P1, P2, ..., P l}(l is the number of classification numbers);

[0058] 1-3) Traverse the point cloud set P_SET, calculate the elevation difference of each point cloud, and perform K-MEANS clustering. The point cloud P with the largest elevation difference and K-MEANS clustering result of 2 is selected as i Identify it as the tower point cloud TowerCloud and take it out from the point cloud set P_SET;

[0059] 1-4) Traverse the point cloud set P_SET' = {P1, P2, ..., P i-1 ,P i+1 ,...P n}, calculate the horizontal extension length of each point cloud where x max and x min are the maximum and minimum values ​​of the point cloud in the x-axis direction, and y max and min are the maximum and minimum values ​​of the point cloud in the y-axis direction respectively, and the one with the largest dist value is identified as the power line point cloud LineCloud, such as Figure 2 This is the classification result of the point cloud for this span, where ground points are purple, vegetation points are green, tower points are blue, and power line points are red.

[0060] (2) Determine the number of transmission line loops of the span based on the power line point cloud and voting method. Step (2) includes the following steps:

[0061] 2-1) First input the tower point cloud TowerCloud, and divide it into tower point clouds T1 and T2 according to the clustering results of the previous step, and calculate the centroids of point clouds T1 and T2 respectively. The following formula is the centroid of point cloud T1 Calculation method, T2 centroid Similarly:

[0062]

[0063]

[0064]

[0065] Where n is the size of point cloud T1, x 1j ,y 1j and z 1j They are respectively the midpoint t of point cloud T1 j The x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis coordinates.

[0066] The centroid of the tower point cloud T1 within this span is calculated to be (740.209m, -1292.68m, 32.3484m) and the centroid of T2 is (1059.56m, -1457.17m, 31.7829m).

[0067] 2-2) Using vectors Indicates the direction of the transmission line at this span, vector The calculation method is

[0068]

[0069] Calculated

[0070] 2-3) From the centroid point and vector Construct vertical planes Plane1 and Plane2 respectively, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0071] Plane1:v x x+v y y+d1=0

[0072] Plane2:v x x+v y y+d2=0

[0073] d1=-(T 1x *v x +T 1y *v y )

[0074] d2=-(T 2x *v x +T 2y *v y )

[0075] The calculated equations of planes Plane1 and Plane2 are:

[0076] Plane1:-319.347x+164.49y=449017

[0077] Plane2:-319.347x+164.49y=578056

[0078] 2-4) If the electric line point q(q x ,q y ,q z ) If the following conditions are met at the same time, the point is between the vertical planes Plane1 and Plane2 and is retained; otherwise, it is filtered out.

[0079]

[0080] Figure 3 This is the effect after removing redundant power lines.

[0081] 2-5) Next, segment the power line point cloud using vertical grids along the power line direction. gap_num = floor(dist / 5), where floor() means rounding down, and the vector Unitize The range formed by each segmented grid can be expressed as follows:

[0082]

[0083] The value range of k is {1,2,...,gap_num-1}.

[0084] Figure 4 This is a segmented schematic diagram of the power line point cloud. The calculated dist is 359.221 and gap_num is 71.

[0085] 2-6) Finally, K-MEANS clustering is performed on the point cloud in each segmented grid, and the clustering results are {res1,res2,...,res gap_num-1}, count the total number of each clustering result, and take the one with the largest total number as the final number of loops of the power line of the transmission line with this span. The clustering result here is 8, indicating that the transmission project adopts the dual-loop assumption method.

[0086] (3) Fitting the power line point cloud based on the least squares method to obtain the parabolic model of each power line. Step (3) includes the following steps:

[0087] 3-1) If the clustering result in the previous step is 5, it is judged as a single loop. Assume that the centroids of the obtained cluster point cloud are {c1, c2, c3, c4, c5} respectively. The two centroids with the largest z values ​​are classified as two ground lines, and the remaining three centroids are classified as three-phase power lines. Their left and right position relationships are determined based on the size of their x or y values.

[0088] If the clustering result in the previous step is 8, it is judged as a double loop. Assume that the centroids of the obtained cluster point cloud are {c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c6, c7, c8} respectively. Find the centroid point c0 (c x ,c y ,c z ), select the 8 centroid points that are smaller than c x or c y Those are classified as Class 1, greater than c x or c y The ones are classified into category 1. Among these two types of centroids, their upper and lower relationships are determined according to their z values.

[0089] 3-2) Next, the centroids of the classified power lines are used to fit the parabola equation. Let the centroid set of one of the power lines be {p1, p2, p3, ..., p m}, according to the x and y coordinates of each point, the least squares method is used to fit the straight line equation L1:

[0090] L1:y=k1x+b1

[0091] Taking the upper left phase electric power line as an example, the equation of the fitted straight line is: y=-0.514797x-924.445.

[0092] 3-3) Find the straight line Intersection point with L1 The centroid point is converted from a three-dimensional point to a two-dimensional point. The conversion formula is as follows:

[0093]

[0094] 3-4) Where d is the distance from point S to the origin. Finally, according to the w and z coordinates of each centroid point, the parabolic equation of each power line is fitted:

[0095] z=aw 2 +bw+c

[0096] The parabola equation obtained by fitting the upper left phase conductor is: z = 0.000227496w 2 -0.653395w+528.713. The parabola equation obtained by fitting the upper right phase conductor is: z=0.000204252w 2 -0.586997w+482.006.

[0097] Figure 5 After all the power line equations are fitted, each power line is displayed in a different color.

[0098] (4) Obtaining the sag based on the parabolic model of each power line, step (4) comprises the following steps:

[0099] 4-1) The method of obtaining the sag based on the fitted parabola equation includes:

[0100] According to the direction of the transmission line within the span Get two suspension points q of a single power line point cloud l (q lx ,q ly ,q lz ) and q r (q rx ,q ry ,q rz );

[0101] Convert the suspension points from three-dimensional points to two-dimensional points and obtain the equation of the straight line connecting the suspension points, L2:

[0102] L2: t = k2w + b2;

[0103] Solve the maximum value by combining the fitted parabolic equations of each power line and the straight line equation L2 connecting the suspension points:

[0104] f=k2w+b2-(aw 2 +bw+c)

[0105] when When , the maximum distance is obtained

[0106] The equation of the straight line connecting the two suspension points of the upper left phase conductor is: z = -0.00270587w + 70.6892. The simultaneous equations give the axis of symmetry w = 1430.11, and the maximum distance is z = 7.25528. The equation of the straight line connecting the two suspension points of the upper right phase conductor is: z = -0.00307952x + 71.3673. The simultaneous equations give the axis of symmetry w = 1429.41, and the maximum distance is z = 6.68863.
