Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power distribution network technology, and in particular to a method and system for surveying the topological relationships of power distribution towers based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Background Technology

[0002] The process of conducting a comprehensive survey of the topology of power distribution towers mainly includes on-site surveying, data collection, and drawing verification. First, staff conduct on-site surveys of the towers, lines, and related equipment in the power distribution network, recording their locations and conditions, and collecting geographic location information using technologies such as GPS. Then, the data is compared with existing power distribution network drawings to confirm consistency, and the integrity and safety of the equipment are checked, with equipment requiring maintenance recorded. Finally, the collected data is organized and entered into a GIS system to establish a topological model of the power distribution towers, clarifying each node and its connection relationships.

[0003] However, existing technologies face multiple shortcomings in the construction and maintenance of power distribution tower topology. For example, the accuracy and completeness of data are often affected by missing historical data and limitations of on-site surveys, leading to unreliable modeling results. Many GIS and modeling tools are complex and require high user skills, making it difficult for beginners to quickly get started. During data integration, inconsistent data formats from different sources can easily lead to information loss or errors. Furthermore, in terms of real-time monitoring, changes in network status cannot be reflected in a timely manner, thus affecting fault response. With load changes and the construction of new lines, existing models lag behind in updates, making it difficult to adapt to dynamic changes and increasing management complexity.

[0062] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0063] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second," etc., are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a method for surveying the topology of power distribution towers based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including the following steps:

[0065] S1. Use drones to identify power poles in the target power distribution area and record the current latitude and longitude information of the power poles in the power pole data acquisition table.

[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, step S1 includes:

[0067] S101. Use drones to take aerial photos of the target power distribution area to obtain images of the tower environment;

[0068] High-definition cameras mounted on drones are used to take aerial photos of the target power distribution area, resulting in high-definition images of the pole and tower environment.

[0069] S102. Perform target detection on the pole and tower environment image to identify the pole and tower location;

[0070] The YOLO image recognition method was used to detect targets in the pole and tower environment images and identify the pole and tower locations.

[0071] S103. Control the drone to fly to the pole position and obtain the drone's latitude and longitude information in real time;

[0072] The drone is controlled to fly to the pole's location and take an orthogonal photograph of the pole's top to obtain an image. The drone's latitude and longitude information is obtained using RTK (Real-Time Kinetic) positioning. It's important to understand that "orthogonal" means directly overhead.

[0073] S104. Represent the latitude and longitude information of the UAV as the current latitude and longitude information of the pole, and record the current latitude and longitude information of the pole in the pole data collection table.

[0074] The pole and tower data collection table consists of multiple rows of collected information. Each row includes a serial number, pole and tower number, longitude, latitude, parent pole and tower number, and multiple child pole and tower numbers. See Table 1 for details. It should be understood that Table 1 is merely a schematic representation of the pole and tower data collection table.

[0075] Table 1. Information Collection Table for Pole Towers

[0076]

[0077] S2. Based on the pole and tower ledger information table, determine the current pole number corresponding to the latitude and longitude information of the current pole and tower, and record the current pole number in the pole and tower data collection table;

[0078] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, step S2 includes:

[0079] S201. Compare each latitude and longitude information in the pole and tower ledger information table with the current latitude and longitude information of the pole and tower to obtain the latitude and longitude information that meets the matching conditions;

[0080] It should be noted that the pole and tower ledger information table is a known table, consisting of multiple rows of ledger information. Each row includes a serial number, pole and tower number, longitude, and latitude, as detailed in Table 2. It is understood that Table 2 is merely a schematic representation of the pole and tower ledger information table.

[0081] Table 2. Pole Tower Ledger Information Sheet

[0082]

[0083] Each latitude and longitude coordinate in the pole and tower ledger information table is compared with the current pole and tower's latitude and longitude coordinates. The matching latitude and longitude coordinates that meet the matching conditions are obtained by calculating the Euclidean distance. The matching conditions are: the pole and tower is closest to the current pole and the distance to the current pole and tower is less than a first preset distance. In this embodiment, the first preset distance is 2 meters.

[0084] S202. Represent the pole number corresponding to the latitude and longitude information that meets the matching conditions as the current pole number, and record the current pole number in the pole collection information table.

[0085] If latitude and longitude information that meets the matching conditions is not obtained, the tower number in the tower acquisition information table should remain empty.

[0086] S3. Use drones to identify conductors in the target power distribution area and calculate the first angle between each conductor and the true north direction to obtain the set of angles.

[0087] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, step S3 includes:

[0088] S301. Use a drone to take orthophotos of the target power distribution area to obtain orthophoto images;

[0089] The target power distribution area is photographed orthophotos using a high-definition camera mounted on a drone to obtain orthophoto images.

[0090] S302. Perform target detection on the orthophoto image to obtain multiple guide lines;

[0091] The YOLO image recognition method was used to detect targets in the orthophoto image, resulting in multiple wires.

[0092] S303. Construct a temporary coordinate system based on the orthophoto image, and calculate the first angle between each conductor and the true north direction according to the temporary coordinate system to obtain the set of angles.

[0093] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, step S303 includes:

[0094] S303-A. Construct a temporary coordinate system with the bottom of the orthophoto as the Y-axis and the right side of the orthophoto as the X-axis.

[0095] S303-B: Based on a temporary coordinate system, the first angle between each conductor and the true north direction is calculated using a preset formula to obtain the set of angles.

[0096] Specifically, the preset formula is as follows:

[0097]

[0098] Where β represents the first included angle, θ represents the UAV heading angle, and α represents the angle between the conductor and the Y-axis.

[0099] Furthermore, we have:

[0100]

[0101] Among them are:

[0102] dx = x2 - x1

[0103] dy = y2 - y1

[0104] db=180°fabs(atan(dy / dx)) / π

[0105] Here, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) represent any two non-overlapping pixels on the conductor.

[0106] By comparing whether the error between any two first angles is within a preset range, it is determined whether the principle of parallel conductor layout is met. In this embodiment, the preset range is -5° to 5°.

[0107] S4. Calculate the average angle corresponding to the set of included angles, and characterize the average angle as the second included angle between the current tower and the true north direction;

[0108] The average angle corresponding to the set of included angles is calculated based on a voting algorithm. Specifically, the average angle is calculated by selecting the first included angle that has the most votes based on the voting algorithm.

[0109] S5. Determine the flight direction of the UAV based on the tower direction judgment information table;

[0110] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, step S5 includes:

[0111] S501. Record the current tower number and the second included angle into the tower direction judgment information table;

[0112] The tower orientation determination information table consists of multiple rows of orientation determination information. Each row includes a serial number, tower number, second included angle, and multiple directions. The value for each direction is either "already in flight" or "not in flight." See Table 3 for details. It should be understood that Table 3 is merely a schematic representation of the tower orientation determination information table.

[0113] Table 3 Information Table for Determining the Direction of Towers

[0114] Serial Number Tower number Second angle Direction 1 Direction 2 Direction 3 Direction 4

[0115] S502. Based on the values ​​of each direction in the tower direction determination information table, control the flight direction of the UAV.

[0116] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, step S502 includes:

[0117] S502-A: If the tower direction judgment information table contains a direction with the value "not flying", then control the UAV to fly a second preset distance along the "not flying" direction and update the value of the "not flying" direction to "already flying".

[0118] In this embodiment, the second preset distance is 1m. That is, if there is a direction in the tower direction judgment information table with the value of "not flying", the drone is controlled to fly 1m in the "not flying" direction and the value of the "not flying" direction is updated to "already flying".

[0119] S502-B: If the tower direction determination information table does not contain a direction with the value of "not flying", then control the drone to return from the current tower to the next higher tower.

[0120] If all directions of the current tower have been flown in the tower direction determination information table, then control the drone to return to the previous tower.

[0121] S6. Control the drone to fly continuously based on the flight direction until the drone identifies the parent node tower number and child node tower number of the current tower, and record the parent node tower number and child node tower number in the tower acquisition information table.

[0122] The drone continues to fly based on its flight direction until it finds the next level tower. The tower number of the previous level tower is represented as the parent tower number of the next level tower and recorded in the tower acquisition information table. The tower number of the next level tower is represented as the child tower number of the previous level tower and recorded in the tower acquisition information table, thus forming a bidirectional topological connection relationship.

[0123] It should be noted that steps S1 to S6 only obtain the current tower's data acquisition information and record it in the tower data acquisition information table. To obtain the data acquisition information for all towers within the target power distribution area, after step S6, the following steps are also included:

[0124] Based on N iterative survey steps, a target tower data collection table is obtained. Here, N represents the number of towers in the target power distribution area.

[0125] Each iteration of the census includes the following steps:

[0126] S1. Use drones to identify power poles in the target power distribution area and record the current latitude and longitude information of the power poles in the power pole data acquisition table.

[0127] S2. Based on the pole and tower ledger information table, determine the current pole number corresponding to the latitude and longitude information of the current pole and tower, and record the current pole number in the pole and tower data collection table;

[0128] Specifically, the pole and tower ledger information table consists of multiple rows of ledger information, each row including serial number, pole and tower number, longitude and latitude.

[0129] S3. Use drones to identify conductors in the target power distribution area and calculate the first angle between each conductor and the true north direction to obtain the set of angles.

[0130] S4. Calculate the average angle corresponding to the set of included angles, and characterize the average angle as the second included angle between the current tower and the true north direction;

[0131] S5. Determine the flight direction of the UAV based on the tower direction judgment information table;

[0132] Specifically, the tower direction determination information table consists of multiple rows of direction determination information. Each row of direction determination information includes a serial number, tower number, second included angle, and multiple directions. The value for each direction is either "already flown" or "not flown".

[0133] S6. Control the drone to fly continuously based on the flight direction until the drone identifies the parent node tower number and child node tower number of the current tower, and record the parent node tower number and child node tower number in the tower acquisition information table.

[0134] This invention provides a method for surveying the topology of power distribution towers based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The survey is completed entirely autonomously by UAVs combined with target detection, requiring minimal human intervention and suitable for continuous surveys around the clock. By fully integrating UAVs with power distribution network topology analysis, this method solves the problems of frequent changes in power distribution towers and poor real-time data performance and untimely updates in GIS systems.

[0135] Based on the above-mentioned method for surveying the topology of power distribution towers using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), such as Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a UAV-based power distribution tower topology survey system, including:
