[0168]

[0169] Through the above data analysis, it can be seen that the method of the present invention can effectively plan and adjust the flight path of the UAV under different terrain and meteorological conditions. The following is a specific analysis:

[0170] Comparison of flight path length and time: The data show that the flight path length and time of the UAV under different terrain conditions are relatively balanced using the method of the present invention. For example, the flight path length of test point 1 is 12.4 km and the flight time is 30 minutes; the flight path length of test point 5 is 14.3 km and the flight time is 33 minutes. Despite the differences in terrain and wind speed, the optimization of the flight path keeps the flight time within a reasonable range.

[0171] Impact of virtual wind speed data: The collection and application of wind speed sensitivity coefficient and virtual wind speed data enable the UAV to make effective path adjustments under different wind speed conditions. For example, the virtual wind speed at test point 3 is 6.0m / s. Although the wind speed is high, the UAV can still complete a 15.2km flight in 35 minutes through the path optimization algorithm.

[0172] Effect of real-time data fusion: Through the integration of real-time terrain resource data and virtual terrain data, the cloud computing platform can dynamically adjust the flight path to ensure the optimality and safety of the flight. For example, the flight path length and time of test point 2 and test point 4 are relatively close, although their terrain data and meteorological conditions are different, which reflects the key role of data fusion technology in path optimization.

[0173] Mining the potential distribution patterns of new energy resources: The application of big data analysis technology enables the present invention to accurately identify the potential distribution patterns of new energy resources and generate visual reports to assist decision-making. For example, through principal component analysis and DBSCAN cluster analysis, the resource distribution trends and hot spots of test points 1 and 5 can be identified, providing reliable resource exploration data support.

[0174] By comparing with the prior art, the creativity and novelty of the present invention are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0175] Application of data fusion technology: In the prior art, virtual terrain data or real-time terrain data is often used alone for path planning, while the present invention makes path planning more accurate and flexible by fusing virtual and real-time data.

[0176] Use of optimization algorithm: The optimization algorithm is used to solve the optimal flight path, ensuring the efficient flight of the UAV in complex terrain and weather conditions.

[0177] Innovation of big data analysis: Big data analysis technology is used to conduct in-depth mining of new energy resources, generate visual reports, and provide decision-making support information, which is lacking in existing technologies.

[0178] In summary, the method of the present invention has demonstrated significant innovation and practical value in terms of path planning, real-time data fusion and mining of new energy resource distribution patterns.
