[0002] With the development of my country's power industry, power lines are increasingly showing a trend towards large-scale and intensive development, with line spans and capacities continuously increasing, placing higher demands on the safe operation of these lines. During long-term operation, power lines are susceptible to various faults and safety hazards due to the influence of the natural environment and external factors, such as tower tilting, broken conductor wires, and damaged insulators. If these faults are not detected and addressed in a timely manner, they can lead to serious consequences.

[0003] Traditional power line inspection and modeling mainly rely on regular manual patrols and the acquisition of line data using laser photoelectric and satellite remote sensing technologies. These traditional methods suffer from high costs, low efficiency, and poor safety. In recent years, with the development of drones and 3D reconstruction technology, using drones for aerial inspection and 3D modeling of power assets has become a new technological direction. Drones can fly at low altitudes to take multi-angle photos of power lines, offering far greater flexibility than satellites and fixed-position cameras.

[0004] Currently, the common method for 3D reconstruction of power lines in the industry is to use drones equipped with RGB cameras to comprehensively photograph the target area, acquire 2D image data, and use structured light motion algorithms to generate 3D point clouds to further construct a 3D model of the line facilities. This method has the following problems: low reconstruction accuracy, only able to generate a simplified overview of the line and unable to present detailed structures; poor adaptability, insufficient handling of occlusion, and easy to produce dead zones; low level of informatization, only modeling geometric shapes and not including power system parameters, status and other information; and poor closure, the reconstructed virtual model is detached from the physical system and cannot achieve deep collaboration of the virtual system. Summary of the Invention

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the digital twin modeling method for power transmission lines based on geological hazards described in this invention, the following steps are included: processing the acquired image data to generate a three-dimensional scene, and correcting the three-dimensional scene by combining geological and topographic maps: preprocessing the acquired UAV image data; using the Structure from Motion (SFM) algorithm, with the preprocessed image data as input, calculating feature matching between images to restore the camera pose and the sparse three-dimensional point cloud of the scene; applying the Multi-View Stereo (MVS) method to the sparse point cloud to generate a detailed high-density three-dimensional point cloud; filtering and smoothing the high-density three-dimensional point cloud to remove outliers; using a three-dimensional reconstruction algorithm, with the smoothed point cloud and preprocessed image as input, generating a two-dimensional mesh and scene model; collecting relevant geological and topographic map data and performing feature matching with the scene model to mark the locations of key features.

[0031] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0033] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a method for digital twin modeling of transmission lines based on geological hazards, including the following steps:

[0036] S1: Use drones to collect images of the power line area.

[0037] S1.1: Use the drone's built-in visual positioning system to allow the drone to fly along a preset route and automatically record perspective information.

[0038] Specifically, visual positioning sensors, including optical flow positioning sensors and visual-inertial navigation systems, are installed on drones to locate the drone's spatial position in real time through visual recognition of ground features. Using the drone's automatic flight control system, combined with the visual positioning results, the drone can automatically fly on a preset three-dimensional spatial route, which is planned and designed in advance and uploaded to the drone's flight control system.

[0039] In the drone flight control system, data such as the spatial position coordinates and attitude angles of the drone during flight are recorded to determine the drone's perspective information, that is, where the drone is in space and which direction the camera is pointing. The recorded perspective information is then correlated with the corresponding image data to obtain the shooting perspective information of each image, providing data support for subsequent applications.

[0040] S1.2: Using sonar detection technology, emit sound waves to detect obstructions within the drone's field of view and obtain information on the size and location of the obstructions.

[0041] Installing a sonar detection system on a drone can emit ultrasonic waves or other frequencies of sound waves to detect the environment within a certain range in front of the drone. The sound wave transmitter emits a detection signal, and the echo is reflected by the obstructed object. By analyzing the size and direction of the echo, information such as the position and shape of the obstructing object can be detected.

[0042] By combining sonar detection with the attitude information of the UAV, three-dimensional information such as the spatial coordinates and size of the obstruction relative to the UAV can be obtained. The acquired obstruction information can be plotted in the three-dimensional environment to mark the areas with obstruction within the UAV's field of view, providing a basis for subsequent flight route planning.

[0043] S1.3: Using the UAV's inertial navigation system and sonar detection results, a three-dimensional occlusion distribution map is drawn.

[0044] The inertial navigation system of a drone can measure changes in its position and velocity to determine its trajectory and attitude. The drone's motion information measured by the inertial navigation system is fused with the location information of obstructions detected by sonar. Based on the determined drone position, the precise coordinates of the obstructing object relative to the drone are calculated, as follows:

[0045] Assume the UAV's inertial navigation system provides position, P(x,y,z) and velocity, V(v). x ,v y ,v z ) and direction data θ (θ x ,θ y ,θ z The sonar system provides the distance d and orientation θ of the obstructing object relative to the sonar detector. son (θ sx ,θ sy ,θ sz Considering the impact of time factor t on the UAV's position, Kalman filtering or particle filtering algorithms are used for dynamic data fusion and position prediction; a noise correction parameter N and a correction algorithm are introduced to optimize the accuracy of the position.

[0046] Estimated position P of the drone est Determined jointly by inertial navigation system data and dynamic adjustment algorithms:

[0047] P est (t)=F(P,V,θ,t,N)

[0048] The position P of the obstructing object relative to the drone obs The location can be calculated using sonar data and drone-estimated positions:

[0049] P obs =Pest +d.Transform(θ son ,θ)

[0050] By projecting the location coordinates of obstructions onto a 3D environment, a 3D visualization map of the obstruction distribution within the UAV's field of view is generated. The 3D obstruction distribution map intuitively displays the obstruction situation in the UAV's field of view, providing a basis for subsequent flight planning.

[0051] S1.4: Automatically plan supplementary flight routes based on artificial intelligence algorithms to ensure that the camera covers the obstructed area.

[0052] Furthermore, the system loads a spatial occlusion distribution map, reads the coordinate range information of the occluded areas, and stores it as an occlusion area list; it inputs the UAV flight parameters: flight altitude range, flight speed range, and turning radius range, and stores them as a UAV parameter list; it inputs the camera equipment parameters: field of view angle, flip angle range, and angle with the UAV, and stores them as a camera parameter list; it initializes the flight path map as a two-value image, with a value of 0 indicating an uncovered area and a value of 1 indicating a covered area; it selects one occluded area from the occlusion list and obtains its coordinate range information; it calculates the two-dimensional boundary range of the ground projection corresponding to the occluded area, and marks the boundary range as an uncovered area in the flight path map, i.e., sets the value to 0; it generates multiple candidate flight path lists, ensuring that the flight paths in the list pass through and overlook the occluded areas; for each flight path, it simulates flight and calculates the camera equipment's shooting range.

[0053] The process of calculating the camera's shooting range includes: acquiring the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the flight path; determining the drone's attitude using the drone parameter list; calculating the shooting range for each location using the camera parameter list; merging the shooting ranges to obtain the overall shooting range; for each shooting range, calculating the area of ​​the covered / obscured region; selecting the flight path with the largest coverage area as the current optimal flight path; updating the flight path map and setting the coverage area corresponding to the optimal flight path to 1; determining whether the 0-value area in the flight path map is empty: if empty, it means that all covered / obscured areas have been covered, and returning to the optimal flight path; if not empty, there are still uncovered / obscured areas, and one covered / obscured area from the cover list is selected again to obtain its coordinate range information; and returning the final optimal flight path as a supplementary flight path.

[0054] S1.5: By using network collaboration among drones, images of severely obscured areas can be provided by other drones, and data can be acquired collaboratively, improving efficiency.

[0055] It should be noted that designing flight paths and perspectives, and conducting occlusion analysis, can ensure the acquisition of comprehensive scene data.

[0056] S2: Process the acquired image data to generate a 3D scene, and then correct the 3D scene by combining it with geological and topographic maps.

[0057] Preferably, point cloud processing algorithms are used to denoise and register data in complex environments.

[0058] S2.1: Preprocess the acquired UAV image data, including distortion correction and image inpainting, to obtain preprocessed image data I. proc,i The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0059] I proc,i =ImageRepair(Distortion Correction(I raw,i ))

[0060] S2.2: Using the Structure from Motion (SFM) algorithm, with I proc,i Using the input image, feature matching between images is calculated to reconstruct the camera pose and the sparse 3D point cloud of the scene. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0061] P sparse =SFM({I proc,i})

[0062] S2.3: Apply the Multi-View Stereo (MVS) method to the sparse point cloud to generate a detailed, high-density 3D point cloud P. dense The calculation formula is as follows:

[0063] P dense =MVS(P sparse )

[0064] S2.4: For P dense After filtering and smoothing to remove outliers, P is obtained. smooth The calculation is as follows:

[0065] P smooth =FilterAndSmooth(P dense )

[0066] S2.5: Use a 3D reconstruction algorithm to smooth the point cloud P smooth and preprocessed image I proc,i As input, generate a 2D mesh M and a scene model S:

[0067] S = 3DReconstruction(P) smooth , {I proc,i})

[0068] S2.6: Collect relevant geological and topographic map data G and perform feature matching with the scene model S, and label the locations of key features F:

[0069] F = FeatureMatching(S,G)

[0070] Preferably, when a match is successful, the location and shape of the corresponding land features in the scene model S are corrected based on the geological topographic map data G to generate a modified scene (Modified_scene); when a match fails, unlabeled land features from the geological topographic map data G are inserted into the scene model S to generate a modified scene, and the above correction process is iterated until the correction effect requirements are met, and the final modified scene is output as the corrected 3D scene.

[0071] S3: Use a drone's five-panel tilt camera to acquire tilted photos, control point information to generate 3D model data and true orthophoto data, and collect highly up-to-date 2D vector data on the true orthophoto data.

[0072] The main approach involves using drones equipped with five-panel oblique cameras to acquire high-resolution oblique photographs through oblique photography. These photographs are then combined with software such as SMART3D and control point information collected in the field to generate 3D model data and true orthophoto data. Modeling software such as 3DMAX is used to refine and categorize the original 3D model, ultimately obtaining usable, accurate, and highly up-to-date 3D data. Finally, professional GIS software such as ArcGIS is used to collect highly up-to-date 2D vector data from the true orthophoto data.

[0073] S4: Integrate the three types of data to construct a refined digital twin model of power lines.

[0074] The three models include a basic real-world 3D model, a high-precision model of the tower, and conductor data.

[0075] Furthermore, the basic real-scene 3D model is created by acquiring raw photo data from drone oblique photography, processing it into a real-scene 3D model using software, and then performing simple data editing using professional processing software. Its data format is the internationally recognized OSGB format, which can be displayed in most 3D software programs.

[0076] The high-precision model of the tower is generated by professional technicians through manual modeling and other methods using oblique photography data.

[0077] The tower model data was initially in OBJ format, which was then converted to OSGB format by software and merged with the real-world 3D model.

[0078] Due to the long span and small diameter of the traverse data, it is impossible to generate it through oblique photogrammetry. Manual modeling is also very difficult. This part of the data is used to generate general LAS point cloud data using professional software and saved separately. Because the data format is inconsistent with the actual 3D model data, it is saved separately.

[0079] S4.1: Establish data link interfaces with GIS and monitoring systems to update the model in real time.

[0080] Preferably, the data interface specifications of the GIS system used by the power company are collected, including data format, communication protocol, access authentication, etc., and interface adapters are developed to realize functions such as format conversion and decoding for data access with specific GIS systems.

[0081] Collect details of the power company's monitoring system interfaces to obtain access methods for real-time status data, supporting caching and decoding of different monitoring data; in the digital twin modeling system, design an asynchronous task scheduling mechanism to periodically poll the interfaces to obtain the latest GIS and monitoring data, perform filtering, mapping, and redundancy removal on the access data, convert it into the system's internal standard format, compare new input data with the existing digital twin model, determine the differences and update content, and automatically update the digital twin scene model using graphical algorithms according to the differences, establish a version control mechanism, save model iteration update logs, and ensure traceability.

[0082] S4.2: Add power parameters and state attributes to build an information-rich model.

[0083] S4.3: Enables linkage with field equipment and establishes a closed-loop digital twin platform.

[0084] The digital twin system integrates an industrial control computer and its communication interface to receive status data from field devices; it develops virtual models of sensors, imports them into the corresponding locations in the digital twin scene, and realizes bidirectional data mapping and control relationships between the virtual model and the physical devices; it simulates control commands for the devices in the virtual scene, sends them to the physical devices through the industrial control computer, and synchronously transmits the operating status of the physical devices back, driving the virtual model to update dynamically, thus constructing a simulation environment for dual closed-loop control of virtual and physical devices; it applies the predictive analysis function of digital twins to evaluate the effect of control commands and achieve closed-loop optimization; and through the chain connection of scene-virtual model-physical device, it connects the virtual physical system to achieve a realistic digital twin.

[0085] This embodiment also provides a digital twin modeling system for power transmission lines based on geological hazards, including: an image acquisition module for using a drone to fly and acquire image data of the power line area; a 3D reconstruction module for processing the acquired image data, generating a 3D scene model, and combining it with geological and topographic data to achieve 3D scene correction and optimization; a thematic data acquisition module for using a drone's five-panel oblique camera to acquire oblique photos, and combining them with control points to generate 3D model data and true orthophotos, and acquiring 2D vector data on the orthophotos; a data fusion module for integrating various types of data obtained from image acquisition, 3D reconstruction, and thematic data acquisition to finally construct a refined digital twin model of the power line; a model optimization module for adjusting parameters, optimizing details, and mining knowledge in the constructed digital twin model to improve the model's accuracy and usability; and a data management module for standardized management of images, 3D models, vector and attribute data, achieving standardized storage, indexing, and maintenance of data.

[0086] This embodiment also provides a computer device applicable to the digital twin modeling method for transmission lines based on geological hazards, including: a memory and a processor; the memory is used to store computer-executable instructions, and the processor is used to execute the computer-executable instructions to implement the digital twin modeling method for transmission lines based on geological hazards proposed in the above embodiment.

[0087] The computer device can be a terminal, comprising a processor, memory, communication interface, display screen, and input devices connected via a system bus. The processor provides computing and control capabilities. The memory includes non-volatile storage media and internal memory. The non-volatile storage media stores the operating system and computer programs. The internal memory provides an environment for the operation of the operating system and computer programs stored in the non-volatile storage media. The communication interface is used for wired or wireless communication with external terminals; wireless communication can be achieved through Wi-Fi, carrier networks, NFC (Near Field Communication), or other technologies. The display screen can be an LCD screen or an e-ink screen. The input devices can be a touch layer covering the display screen, buttons, a trackball, or a touchpad on the computer device's casing, or an external keyboard, touchpad, or mouse.

[0088] This embodiment also provides a storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the method for digital twin modeling of transmission lines based on geological hazards as proposed in the above embodiments. The storage medium can be implemented by any type of volatile or non-volatile storage device or a combination thereof, such as Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM), Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EPROM), Programmable Red-Only Memory (PROM), Read-Only Memory (ROM), magnetic storage, flash memory, magnetic disk, or optical disk.
