Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of multi-source data fusion processing based on an unmanned aerial vehicle airborne terminal, and in particular to a multi-source data fusion processing method based on an unmanned aerial vehicle airborne terminal. Background Art

[0002] The distribution network refers to a power grid that receives electric energy from the transmission network or regional power plant, and distributes it locally or step by step according to the voltage to various users through distribution facilities. It is a network composed of overhead lines, cables, poles, distribution transformers, disconnectors, reactive power compensators and some ancillary facilities, and plays an important role in distributing electric energy in the power grid. Distribution network lines are generally exposed outdoors, and they will inevitably be affected by the natural environment and social environment during operation. Extreme weather such as lightning and storms may destroy or damage distribution network equipment, or cause accidents such as electric shock. In the process of urban and rural integration, there are problems such as unreasonable greening plant construction and illegal building construction; artificial theft, random wiring, and deliberate destruction of distribution network lines. These problems will affect the normal operation of distribution equipment and even lead to safety accidents and legal risks.

[0003] Due to the high reliability requirements of distribution network equipment, there are few power outage test items for equipment. Daily inspections are the main means of equipment status control. Operation and maintenance personnel have an urgent need for effective and efficient inspection methods. During the distribution network inspection process, the daily inspection work will waste a lot of manpower, and the inspection process is inevitably wrong. The inspection environment is harsh, and sometimes it causes harm to the personal safety of the inspectors. Therefore, drones have begun to be used for distribution network line inspections.

[0004] During drone inspections, automatic identification and intelligent diagnosis of equipment faults are particularly important. At present, domestic research in the field of power image diagnosis mainly focuses on the detection and identification of common line defect types or specific problems, such as broken strands of transmission lines, screw detachment, damaged insulators, damaged anti-vibration hammers, damaged wire clamps, and positioning of spacers. If other situations occur, identification errors will occur, which leads to low accuracy in distribution network defect identification.
