If yes, take this point as the starting point of the new route and continue to perform 1) to 7) above to calculate the new route; 9) If the last waypoint is beyond the dam area, the calculation is stopped and the route planning within the dam area is completed.

7. The intelligent route planning method for reservoir inspection according to claim 1 is characterized in that: The intelligent route planning method further includes: Segmentation and route planning of areas outside the dam area, including: From the list of regions to be segmented A L ={A u ,A d } Take out an area A u ; Calculate the distance from each airport to area A u distance; Calculate the range of the drone inspection area A based on the airport location and the parameters of the drone's payload camera d1 ; The remaining area A1 = A u –A d1 Add to the list of areas to be segmented A L In , k3 and k4 are the starting key points of the remaining area; Repeat the steps until all areas are segmented and placed in the inspection area list of the corresponding airport, and place the generated regional routes in the corresponding areas.

8. The intelligent route planning method for reservoir inspection according to claim 7 is characterized in that: The calculation of each airport to area A u The distances include: Take an airport P1 from the airport list PD; Calculate P1 to region A u The distances pd1, pd2 between key points k1, k2; The minimum value d1=min(pd1,pd2) is used as the distance from airport P1 to area A. u distance; Loop through the calculation steps to calculate all the airports to area A u The distances d2, d3, ...; Calculate the minimum value of all distances d=min(d1, d2, d3...).
