[0058] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0059] 1. By installing a drone tracking module on the inspection drone platform, it is unnecessary to install image acquisition equipment and multiple sensors for positioning on the inspection drone, thereby reducing the structural complexity of the inspection drone, thereby reducing the requirements for the inspection drone, thereby increasing the endurance of the inspection drone and reducing the hardware requirements of the system. In addition, since the background image of the positioning image collected by this method is the sky, the requirements for the environment are relatively low, and fuzzy positioning can still be achieved in a working environment with low visibility;
[0060] 2. When using the image acquisition equipment carried by the inspection drone to collect images of the photovoltaic power station, since the solar photovoltaic panels are relatively smooth planes, light interference such as sun reflection spots will be formed on the solar photovoltaic panels. This light interference will also affect the recognition of infrared images, which may cover up the hot spots in the illuminated area, causing missed detection of hot spots, or be regarded as rectangular hot spots, causing false detection of hot spots. Therefore, when stitching images, images without light interference of the same object are found, and the real scenes found are used as references to reconstruct the real scenes in the light interference area, so as to achieve the effect of eliminating light interference, thereby improving the performance of image recognition and increasing the accuracy of fault detection and fault identification;
[0061] 3. The flight parameters of the inspection drone are adjusted through the data collected by the environmental sensing module to ensure the stability of the inspection drone. The accuracy of the inspection can be ensured by controlling the clarity and recognizability of the image. According to the flight parameters of the inspection drone, and due to the limitations of the image acquisition equipment, the effective acquisition range of the image acquisition equipment is different when the inspection drone flies at different altitudes. Therefore, according to the different flight parameters of the inspection drone, the inspection path of the inspection drone is replanned to ensure the effectiveness and comprehensiveness of the inspection image acquisition. At the same time, the inspection path of the inspection drone carrying platform is replanned, such as changing the temporary stop point and driving route for the inspection, which can prevent the inspection drone from having insufficient endurance and ensure the efficiency of the inspection.
[0062] 4. Modular cleaning equipment can be used to remove pollutants detected by drone inspections, thereby preventing pollutants from affecting the power generation efficiency of solar panels and preventing the presence of pollutants from causing hot spot effects on solar panels and causing damage to them.

[0078] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0079] Embodiment 1
[0080] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides an embodiment: an unmanned aerial vehicle system for ground inspection and fault location of a solar photovoltaic power station, comprising:
[0081] A patrol drone is used to carry image acquisition equipment to inspect the solar photovoltaic power station using the image acquisition equipment, wherein the image acquisition equipment carried includes an infrared image acquisition equipment and a visible light image acquisition equipment;
[0082] The inspection drone carrying platform is used to carry the inspection drone and provide charging and transportation services for the inspection drone. It uses an intelligent unmanned vehicle or an intelligent robot as the basic platform and is equipped with a lifting platform for the inspection drone, a communication module and a drone tracking module. The inspection drone takes off and lands on the lifting platform for the inspection drone. At the same time, the inspection drone carrying platform is equipped with an intermediate processing end. The inspection drone communicates with the intermediate processing end through the communication module. The communication module uses WiFi technology, eMTC technology, 4G technology, 5G technology, LoRa technology or other long-distance communication technologies to build a communication network. The choice of communication module is determined according to the needs of the solar photovoltaic power station. At the same time, the inspection drone carrying platform is also equipped with a drone tracking module, that is, a tracking camera for tracking and collecting images of the inspection drone, which is used to collect images when the inspection drone is working, and use the intermediate processing end to identify and analyze the images, so as to determine the coordinates of the inspection drone.
[0083] The data processing end includes a background server end for analyzing the images collected by the image acquisition device carried by the patrol drone and an intermediate processing end for real-time control of the patrol drone. The background server end is installed in the computer room server of the solar photovoltaic power station, and performs overall control of the patrol drone carrying platform and the patrol drone, such as patrol plan generation, patrol plan adjustment and solar photovoltaic power station fault analysis. The background server end is used to process and analyze the images collected by the tracking camera, identify the image and relative position of the patrol drone, and thus accurately control the patrol drone;
[0084] Specifically, the intelligent control systems of inspection drones in the prior art mainly include control systems based on machine vision navigation and control systems based on satellite positioning. The control systems based on machine vision navigation need to be equipped with a variety of hardware such as a variety of acquisition devices, processors, and high-precision equipment on the inspection drones, which has high performance requirements for the inspection drones, thereby increasing the hardware cost of the system, and increasing the weight and energy consumption of the inspection drones, thereby reducing the endurance of the inspection drones. In addition, due to the performance requirements of the inspection drones, the cameras and sensors on the inspection drones have a performance upper limit, and when the ground image is relatively simple or too complex, the inspection drones are prone to positioning errors or even failure to locate. On the one hand, the control system based on satellite positioning has high requirements on communication quality, which can easily lead to signal loss, and has certain limitations on accuracy and communication real-time performance. It is not reliable for the fully automated control of inspection drones. By equipping the inspection drone with a drone tracking module on the inspection drone carrying platform, it is unnecessary to install image acquisition equipment and various sensors for positioning on the inspection drone, thereby reducing the structural complexity of the inspection drone, thereby reducing the requirements for the inspection drone, thereby increasing the endurance of the inspection drone, and reducing the hardware requirements of the system. In addition, since the background image of the positioning based image collected by this method is the sky, the requirements for the environment are relatively low, and fuzzy positioning can still be achieved in a working environment with low visibility.
[0085] Furthermore, an environmental sensing module is also provided on the inspection UAV carrying platform. The environmental sensing module is used to detect whether the environment where the inspection UAV carrying platform is located is suitable for the inspection UAV to take off. The environmental sensing module includes a wind speed sensor, a light intensity sensor, a rain sensor and a visibility monitor. The wind speed sensor is used to detect the wind speed parameters of the environment where the inspection UAV carrying platform is located. The light intensity sensor is used to detect the light intensity parameters of the environment where the inspection UAV carrying platform is located. The rain sensor is used to detect the light intensity parameters of the environment where the inspection UAV carrying platform is located. The visibility monitor is used to detect the visibility parameters of the environment where the inspection UAV carrying platform is located.
[0086] Furthermore, the drone tracking module includes the following steps when tracking and collecting images of the patrol drone while it is working and controlling the patrol drone:
[0087] S31: After the inspection drone takes off, start the tracking camera to collect images of the inspection drone, and use a video-based image tracking algorithm to identify and track the images of the inspection drone;
[0088] S32: Obtaining the location of the inspection drone according to the angle of the tracking camera, the location of the tracking camera, and the image collected by the tracking camera;
[0089] S33: Control the inspection drone according to the positioning of the inspection drone, so that the inspection drone performs inspection along the set path.
[0090] Specifically, when using a video-based image tracking algorithm to identify and track the image of the inspection drone, an image recognition algorithm based on Fast R-CNN is used to identify the image of the inspection drone, and a MEDIANFLOW tracker is used to track the image of the inspection drone. The horizontal and vertical angles of the tracking camera are adjusted according to the position change of the image of the inspection drone, so that the image of the inspection drone always appears in the center of the image of the tracking camera.
[0091] The MEDIANFLOW tracker can track the forward and backward directions of an object in real time and measure the difference between these two tracks, minimizing this forward-backward error, allowing them to reliably detect tracking failures and select reliable tracks in video sequences. In testing, it was found that this tracker works best when the motion is predictable and the objects are small.
[0092] Furthermore, when obtaining the location of the inspection drone based on the angle of the tracking camera, the location of the tracking camera, and the image collected by the tracking camera, the calculation principle is:
[0093] S3201: using the recognition result of step S31, segmenting the image of the inspection drone to obtain the image of the inspection drone;
[0094] S3202: Measure and calculate the distance between the two propeller brackets of the inspection drone in the image ;
[0095] S3203: Calculate the distance between the inspection drone and the tracking camera, where the calculation principle formula is:
[0096] ;
[0097] Where d is the distance between the inspection drone and the tracking camera. is the actual distance between the two propeller brackets;
[0098] S3303: determining the angle between the inspection drone and the tracking camera according to the position of the inspection drone in the image and the angle of the tracking camera;
[0099] S3304: According to the positioning of the platform carrying the inspection drone, the positioning of the tracking camera is obtained, and the positioning of the inspection drone is calculated according to the positioning of the tracking camera.
[0100] Embodiment 2
[0101] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, when using inspection drones to collect images as a basis for fault diagnosis and identification, the images collected by the image acquisition device may overlap, so as to ensure the integrity of image acquisition. The images collected by the image acquisition device can be stitched together through image stitching technology, and multiple scattered images can be stitched into a complete image with the image features of all ground equipment in the solar photovoltaic power station. On the one hand, it can prevent the duplication of fault identification due to image duplication when identifying faults, thereby affecting the efficiency and accuracy of fault identification. On the other hand, it can provide a more complete perspective and contextual information for fault identification, especially when the identification object spans multiple views, which can help the recognition algorithm to better understand the scene and object.
[0102] The specific operations are as follows:
[0103] When the backend server processes the data collected by the image acquisition device, the following steps are included:
[0104] S11: extracting and preprocessing a plurality of groups of images collected by the visible light image acquisition device, wherein the preprocessing method adopted includes image enhancement processing based on the spatial domain and image filtering processing based on the Laplace filtering method;
[0105] S12: stitching the multiple groups of images collected by the visible light image acquisition device into a total device image, wherein the total device image is one or more groups of images having images of all devices in the solar photovoltaic power station;
[0106] S13: splicing several groups of infrared images collected by the infrared image acquisition device based on the processing results of steps S11 and S12 to obtain an overall infrared image of the photovoltaic power station equipment;
[0107] S14: Process and identify the equipment visible light total image and the equipment infrared total image to identify equipment faults and defects in the solar photovoltaic power station.
[0108] Preferably, when the backend server stitches a plurality of groups of images acquired by the visible light image acquisition device, the backend server comprises the following steps:
[0109] S1201: performing distortion correction on a plurality of groups of images collected by a visible light image collection device to remove image distortion caused by a camera lens structure;
[0110] S1202: extracting sift feature points from several groups of visible light images, matching the sift feature points of two adjacent visible light images, and using the RANSAC algorithm to screen feature point pairs after matching, and eliminating erroneous feature point pairs in the feature point pairs;
[0111] S1203: Use the DLT algorithm to estimate the perspective change matrix of the remaining feature point pairs, and then use the SeamFinding algorithm to find the best stitching seam, and find the best stitching seam of the images collected by two adjacent groups of high-definition cameras; finally, use the Laplacian pyramid to decompose the original image into sub-images of different scales by differentiating the Gaussian pyramids of two adjacent layers, and perform weighted averaging on each sub-image to obtain the fusion result of each layer, and finally perform reverse reconstruction of the pyramid to obtain the final fusion effect image, while retaining the covered overlapping parts;
[0112] S1204: performing image detection on the final fusion effect image, and using an image detection algorithm based on the HSV color space model to identify illumination interference in the final fusion effect image;
[0113] S1205: Eliminate the illumination interference in the final fusion effect image, and detect the overlapping images of the eliminated part. If there is no illumination interference in the overlapping images, fill the overlapping images into the eliminated part to obtain the total visible light image of the device.
[0114] Furthermore, when several groups of infrared images collected by the infrared image acquisition device are stitched together to obtain a total infrared image of the photovoltaic power station equipment, since the infrared image may contain hot spots, and the characteristics of the hot spots in the infrared image are similar to those of the sun reflection spots in the infrared image, for the infrared image, the stitching seams of the visible light image are directly substituted into the infrared image, that is, the infrared image is stitched together through the processing results of steps S11 and S12, thereby avoiding the interference of hot spots in the infrared image.
[0115] Specifically, when the image acquisition equipment carried by the inspection drone is used to collect images of the photovoltaic power station, since the solar photovoltaic panels are relatively smooth planes, light interference such as sun reflection spots will be formed on the solar photovoltaic panels. This light interference will also affect the recognition of infrared images, which may cover up the hot spots in the illuminated area, causing missed detection of hot spots, or may be regarded as rectangular hot spots, causing false detection of hot spots. Therefore, when stitching images, images without light interference of the same object are found, and the real scene found is used as a reference to reconstruct the real scene of the light interference area, thereby achieving the effect of eliminating light interference, thereby improving the performance of image recognition and increasing the accuracy of fault detection and fault identification.
[0116] Embodiment 3
[0117] See also Figure 3 In this embodiment, when planning the inspection path of the inspection drone, the flight speed and flight altitude of the inspection drone are different under different wind speeds, and in order to ensure the clarity of the image, the flight altitude of the inspection drone needs to be adaptively adjusted according to the air visibility. Therefore, the flight parameters of the inspection drone are adjusted through the data collected by the environmental sensing module to ensure the stability of the inspection drone's operation, and the accuracy of the inspection can be guaranteed by controlling the clarity and recognizability of the image. According to the flight parameters of the inspection drone, and due to the limitations of the graphics acquisition equipment, when the inspection drone flies at different altitudes, the effective acquisition range of the graphics acquisition equipment is different. Therefore, according to the different flight parameters of the inspection drone, the inspection path of the inspection drone is re-planned to ensure the effectiveness and comprehensiveness of the inspection image acquisition. At the same time, the inspection path of the inspection drone carrying platform is re-planned, such as changing the temporary inspection stop and the driving route, which can prevent the inspection drone from having insufficient endurance and ensure the efficiency of the inspection.

[0131] S2204: Setting the flight parameters of the inspection UAV according to the environmental interference coefficient.
[0132] Furthermore, when adjusting the different flight parameters of the inspection drone, the constant coefficient The values are different. For example, when the flight speed of the inspection UAV is adjusted, the constant coefficient of the light intensity parameter is 0, the constant coefficient of the wind speed parameter is 3.2, the constant coefficient of the air humidity parameter is 0.6, the constant coefficient of the air temperature parameter is 0.58, and the constant coefficient of the air visibility is 1.2; when the flight altitude of the inspection UAV is adjusted, the constant coefficient of the light intensity parameter is 0.8, the constant coefficient of the wind speed parameter is 2.1, the constant coefficient of the air humidity parameter is 0.3, the constant coefficient of the air temperature parameter is 0.78, and the constant coefficient of the air visibility is 3.5.
[0133] Furthermore, when setting the flight parameters of the inspection UAV according to the environmental interference coefficient, the corresponding flight parameters are obtained by multiplying the corresponding environmental interference coefficient with the flight parameters under ideal environmental conditions, and the flight parameters under ideal environmental conditions are determined according to the type and performance of the inspection UAV.
