Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power tower deformation monitoring, and more specifically, it is a monitoring method for power tower deformation monitoring based on BeiDou and infrared imagery. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, methods for monitoring the deformation of power towers include total station method, BeiDou method, and UAV inspection method. Total station method has high accuracy, but requires manual instrument setup, resulting in low observation efficiency; BeiDou method can achieve continuous observation, but one device can only monitor one point, and to comprehensively monitor the deformation of the entire tower, a large number of BeiDou devices need to be deployed, which is too costly; UAV inspection is more efficient, but cannot achieve continuous monitoring, and its accuracy is also limited.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a high-precision method for monitoring power tower deformation that is both continuous and automatic, and can achieve planar and multi-point monitoring. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned background technology and to provide a monitoring method for power tower deformation monitoring based on Beidou and infrared imagery.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a monitoring method for power tower deformation monitoring based on BeiDou and infrared imagery, comprising multiple power towers, characterized in that: each power tower is equipped with a deformation monitoring unit; the deformation monitoring unit includes a BeiDou module for determining the three-dimensional geographic coordinates of the deformation monitoring unit and an infrared camera for generating image targets; each deformation monitoring unit constitutes mutual observation of adjacent deformation monitoring units;
[0006] Includes the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: At the initial epoch t0, the infrared camera of the i-th deformation monitoring unit takes a picture of the adjacent j-th power tower to obtain a reference image P of the j-th power tower. Bj (t0), i = 1, 2, ..., j = 1, 2, ..., and j ≠ i, which includes the image of the image target of the j-th deformation monitoring unit installed on the j-th power tower. The Beidou module of the i-th deformation monitoring unit records the three-dimensional geographic coordinates XAi(t0) of the i-th deformation monitoring unit at this time, and the Beidou module of the j-th deformation monitoring unit records the three-dimensional geographic coordinates XAj(t0) of the j-th deformation monitoring unit at this time.
[0008] Step 2: In epoch ti (i = 1, 2, ...), the i-th deformation monitoring unit takes a picture of the adjacent j-th power tower to obtain the image P of the j-th power tower. Bj(ti), which includes the image of the image target of the j-th deformation monitoring unit installed on the j-th power tower, the Beidou module of the i-th deformation monitoring unit records the three-dimensional geographic coordinates XAi(ti) of the i-th deformation monitoring unit at this time, and the Beidou module of the j-th deformation monitoring unit records the three-dimensional geographic coordinates XAj(ti) of the j-th deformation monitoring unit at this time.
[0009] Step 3: Perform corresponding point matching on the image target between epochs ti and t0, calculate the pixel displacement of each point on the image, and record the pixel displacement of the center point of the image target as Δd and the pixel displacement of each point on the image as Δd'.
[0010] Step 4: Calculate the actual displacement ΔD of the j-th deformation monitoring unit between epochs ti and t0: ΔD = XAj(ti) - XAj(t0);
[0011] Step 5: Calculate the actual displacement ΔD' = Δd' × ΔD / Δd of each point in the j-th power tower image between epochs ti and t0.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0013] 1) This invention calculates the ratio between the pixel displacement of the power tower image and the actual displacement by using the actual displacement of the coded target determined by Beidou and the pixel displacement measured by matching the corresponding points in the image between the current epoch and the reference epoch, thereby obtaining the actual displacement of each point of the power tower.
[0014] 2) This invention combines the high-precision absolute positioning of Beidou with the area observation of infrared images, so that the two complement each other and realize continuous, automatic, area, and multi-point high-precision deformation monitoring.
[0015] 3) The BeiDou system used in this invention is a satellite navigation system independently developed by my country. Utilizing BeiDou can ensure the system's autonomy and controllability.
[0016] 4) The image target generated by the infrared camera of this invention can effectively filter out invalid background information and realize the rapid extraction of power tower information; between epochs, the pixel displacement of each point on the power tower image can be accurately calculated using the same point matching algorithm; since the target and the Beidou module are physically fixed together, the geometric relationship between the pixel displacement and the actual displacement between two epochs can be determined by using the actual displacement measured by Beidou and the pixel displacement calculated by the target image, thereby obtaining the deformation information of the entire power tower.
