[0002] UAVs are widely used in fields such as inspection, monitoring, and emergency response. In various application scenarios, an intelligent inspection system based on UAVs can replace manual labor to complete inspection operations in large-scale, high-risk, or complex terrain areas, with advantages such as strong flexibility, high operation efficiency, and low deployment cost.
[0003] Carrying out automated UAV inspections on the netting layout in areas such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs is one of the typical application scenarios in recent years for intelligent fishery administration, aquatic product law enforcement, and fishing ban supervision. Existing UAV intelligent inspection technologies mostly use preset paths combined with image recognition algorithms for target detection and fault recognition. However, existing methods still have strong path rigidity and lack dynamic adaptability in the actual operation process, that is: most inspection paths are based on static planning and cannot be adjusted according to real-time recognition results or target state changes, and the recognition results cannot feed back to the path generation strategy in real time, affecting the overall coordination efficiency.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.
[0049] The embodiments of this application provide an intelligent recognition system and method for drone inspection faults. The core is to construct a dual-objective path model based on the historical fault data of the target inspection area; use the drone to collect multi-source perception data of the target inspection area, and the dual-objective path model dynamically optimizes the inspection path of the drone according to the multi-source perception data to obtain the optimized path and perception area when the drone conducts inspections; perform hierarchical recognition on the multi-source perception data through the cloud collaboration platform of the drone to obtain the state prediction value of the drone, and construct an intelligent path guidance function when the drone conducts inspections based on the optimized path, the perception area, and the state prediction value; perform backpropagation correction on the intelligent path guidance function to obtain the fault type characteristics and detection accuracy when the drone conducts inspections, and construct a feature correlation weight matrix for the inspection path based on the fault type characteristics and the detection accuracy; perform recognition and reconstruction on the inspection path of the drone based on the feature correlation weight matrix, and then drive the drone to perform intelligent fault recognition based on the recognized and reconstructed inspection path.
[0050] Embodiment 1. To better understand the above technical solutions, the above technical solutions will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification and specific implementation manners. Refer to Figure 1 As shown, this figure is an exemplary flowchart of an intelligent recognition method for drone inspection faults shown in this embodiment of this application. The intelligent recognition method includes the following steps:
[0051] In step S1, construct a dual-objective path model based on the historical fault data of the target inspection area.
[0052] In specific implementation, a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm is used to construct a bi-objective path model based on the historical fault data of the target inspection area, that is: First, the historical fault data of the target inspection area can be obtained through the database of the target inspection area. The historical fault data includes: geographical location information, time tags, fault types, and fault degrees. Then, a fault density map is constructed based on the historical fault data through a visualization algorithm. The fault density map is used to reflect the spatial distribution characteristics of the target inspection area. And the target inspection area is discretized into several inspection nodes through a random forest algorithm, and a weighted directed graph is jointly constructed with the geographical distance between the inspection nodes and the historical fault density of the area to which the nodes belong. Then, minimizing the total time-consuming of the inspection path is used as the first objective function, and the coverage rate of the historical high-fault density area is used as the second objective function to obtain a bi-objective function. The weighted directed graph is optimized for the path through the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm and the bi-objective function. The optimized graph model is used as the bi-objective path model.
[0053] It should be noted that the bi-objective path model in this embodiment is a path optimization model constructed by a bi-objective function. The bi-objective function includes inspection time and the coverage rate of abnormal areas, which is beneficial to improving the execution efficiency of the inspection task and the coverage ability of key potential hazard areas. Among them, the relationship between inspection nodes is represented by constructing a weighted directed graph, and the historical fault density is used as a quantitative index for the coverage rate of abnormal areas, so that the model can adapt to the distribution characteristics of the key areas of the inspection task. In addition, the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm has strong global optimization ability and the characteristics of adapting to multi-objective optimization problems, and can effectively balance between various inspection requirements, so as to output an optimal inspection path set with practical guiding significance.
[0054] In step S2, multi-source perception data of the target inspection area is collected by the UAV. The bi-objective path model dynamically optimizes the inspection path of the UAV according to the multi-source perception data to obtain the optimized path and the perception area during the UAV inspection.
[0055] It should be noted that in this application, the multi-source perception data includes visible light image data, infrared thermal imaging data, and three-dimensional spatial structure data. The multi-source perception data of the target inspection area is collected by using the visible light camera, infrared thermal imager, and lidar of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Among them, the visible light image data is used to identify visible features such as appearance damage and obstacles, the infrared thermal imaging data is used to identify thermal features such as temperature anomalies and hot spot concentration, and the three-dimensional spatial structure data is used to identify geometric features such as structural deformation, distance measurement, and spatial layout. The high-dimensional features of the target inspection area can be constructed through the multi-source perception data, enhancing the system's comprehensive perception ability of abnormal risks in complex environments and providing high-quality data support for subsequent path optimization, risk modeling, and decision-making analysis. In addition, the multi-source perception data of the target inspection area is collected by using the visible light camera, infrared thermal imager, and lidar of the UAV. The visible light camera is used to collect visible light image data, the infrared thermal imager is used to collect infrared thermal imaging data, and the lidar is used to collect three-dimensional spatial structure data, which is beneficial to meeting the requirements of carrying out multi-scene inspection tasks in different types of target areas.
[0056] In specific implementation, the visible light image data, infrared thermal imaging data, and lidar point cloud data of the target inspection area are obtained by using a UAV equipped with a visible light camera, an infrared thermal imager, and a lidar. Among them, the resolution of the visible light camera can be 1080p, which is used to provide surface structure and texture information of the target area. The infrared thermal imager collects thermal image data of the target area through the induction of thermal radiation, and can identify temperature anomalies or heating equipment. The lidar collects three-dimensional spatial structure data based on the time-of-flight principle, obtains the three-dimensional coordinates and reflection intensity information of the surface points of the target area, and finally maps the collected visible light image data, infrared thermal imaging data, and three-dimensional spatial structure data into multi-source fusion perception data through an existing projection matrix.
[0057] Preferably, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this figure is an exemplary flowchart for determining the optimized path and perception area during UAV inspection provided by this application. In this embodiment, the dual-objective path model dynamically optimizes the inspection path of the UAV based on the multi-source perception data, and the specific steps for obtaining the optimized path and perception area during UAV inspection can be implemented as follows:
[0058] First, in step S21, the initial inspection path of the UAV is determined through the multi-source perception data;
[0059] Then, in step S22, risk identification and inspection efficiency optimization are performed on the multi-source perception data to obtain dual optimization objectives;
[0060] Finally, in step S23, the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm is used to iteratively optimize the initial inspection path based on the dual optimization objectives to obtain the optimized path and the sensing area during the UAV inspection.
[0061] In specific implementation, first, the multi-source sensing data is spatially rasterized, and the target inspection area is divided into multiple sensing units. Among them, each sensing unit corresponds to a set of sensing data including visible light images, infrared thermal imaging images, and three-dimensional structure information. The initial inspection path of the UAV can be obtained by using the area coverage algorithm to identify the spatial distribution of all sensing units. Then, through time synchronization and spatial alignment processing of different modality input data, a unified input tensor is formed. Then, the pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory network (LSTM) are used to fuse and extract the spatio-temporal feature vectors, and they are input into the classification and discrimination layer to output the abnormal category probability of each sensing unit. At the same time, according to indicators such as the voyage length, inspection time, and area coverage rate in the inspection flight path, an inspection efficiency function is constructed to quantify the path execution efficiency. Thus, the inspection efficiency function and the abnormal category probability are used as the dual optimization objectives. Finally, the abnormal category probability and the inspection efficiency function are used as the constraint parameters of the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm. Thus, the loss function of the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm with the set constraint parameters is used as the dual-objective optimization function. Among them, in the optimization process, the coding method uses the access order of the sensing units as the gene structure. Multiple path candidate solutions are generated through crossover and mutation operations. The risk identification value and the inspection efficiency value of each solution are calculated, and non-dominated sorting and population update are performed according to the Pareto optimality principle to obtain the optimized path and the sensing area during the UAV inspection. It should be noted that the crossover operation can achieve path recombination by exchanging the gene segments of two parent paths. The mutation operation breaks the local optimal trap by adjusting the access order, improves the solution space exploration ability, and the optimization result is controlled by the elitist retention strategy to retain high-quality solutions to ensure evolutionary stability.
[0062] It should be noted that the dual-objective path model avoids the problem of missing high-risk areas that may be caused by simply taking the shortest path or the least time as the goal by integrating two optimization dimensions of risk identification and path efficiency. Among them, the dual-objective path optimization implemented by the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm has stronger diversity preservation ability and higher global convergence performance, and can adaptively adjust the flight path in a complex inspection environment. In addition, the optimized path contains flight order information, which is convenient for realizing task adaptive allocation.
[0063] In step S3, the multi-source sensing data is hierarchically identified through the cloud collaboration platform of the UAV to obtain the state prediction value of the UAV, and an intelligent path guidance function during the UAV inspection is constructed based on the optimized path, the sensing area, and the state prediction value.
[0064] It should be noted that in this application, the cloud collaborative platform of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an intelligent computing platform based on deep learning and incremental training, which has a distribution mechanism based on knowledge distillation and the ability to fuse recognition results. The cloud collaborative platform of the UAV is a heterogeneous fusion system integrating data processing, model training, and task scheduling. The cloud collaborative platform has the ability to efficiently process multi-source perception data uploaded by the UAV during flight, and can realize remote inference deployment and online iterative optimization of the model. Among them, the cloud collaborative platform performs incremental training on various perception models, that is, on the basis of the original training model, small-batch rapid learning and updating are performed according to newly collected data, which can avoid full-scale retraining and improve the adaptability and update efficiency of the model. In addition, the cloud collaborative platform includes a spatio-temporal synchronization modeling algorithm, a multi-modal deep fusion recognition network, and a spatio-temporal evolution modeling network. Based on the cloud collaborative platform, resource scheduling and model fusion can be performed on the task states of multiple UAVs to ensure data consistency under multi-aircraft collaborative operations.
[0065] Preferably, in this embodiment, referring to Figure 3 As shown, this figure is an exemplary flowchart for determining the state prediction value of the UAV provided by this application. In this embodiment, the multi-source perception data is hierarchically recognized through the cloud collaborative platform of the UAV, and the state prediction value of the UAV can be specifically realized by the following steps:
[0066] First, in step S31, the multi-source perception data is aligned and fused according to the time stamp through the cloud collaborative platform of the UAV to obtain a multi-modal input feature tensor;
[0067] Then, in step S32, fine-grained recognition is performed on the multi-modal input feature tensor to obtain deep semantic features;
[0068] Finally, in step S33, based on the spatio-temporal position of the target inspection area, the state change trend of the UAV is determined for the deep semantic features, and then the state prediction value of the UAV is determined from the state change trend.
[0069] In specific implementation, first, the cloud collaborative platform aligns and fuses the multi-source perception data according to timestamps through a spatio-temporal synchronization modeling algorithm to obtain a multi-modal input feature tensor, which includes spatio-temporal sequence information, spatial structure information, and thermal anomaly response information. Then, the multi-modal deep fusion recognition network of the cloud collaborative platform performs fine-grained recognition on the multi-modal input feature tensor, and uses the output features of the fine-grained recognition as deep semantic features. Among them, the multi-modal deep fusion recognition network includes a convolutional neural network, a point cloud neural network, and a multi-head self-attention mechanism, which can extract content such as structural defect features, thermal anomaly response features, and spatial geometric deformation features. Finally, based on the spatio-temporal evolution modeling network of the cloud collaborative platform, the deep semantic features are modeled in combination with the spatio-temporal position of the target inspection area to determine the state change trend of the UAV under specific spatio-temporal conditions. Furthermore, the task delay parameter in the state change trend is analyzed through the spatio-temporal evolution modeling network, and this task delay parameter is used as the state prediction value of the UAV. Among them, this spatio-temporal evolution modeling network can be constructed based on the Transformer architecture, which is beneficial to maintaining spatial consistency and temporal continuity, so as to output the state change trend of the UAV.
[0070] It should be noted that the state prediction value in this application is based on the dynamic evolution characteristics during the task execution process. Through the spatio-temporal modeling of deep semantic features, it outputs task delay data related to a future time period, which can be used to quantitatively evaluate the operation ability and potential risks of the UAV in subsequent inspection tasks. That is, according to the predicted task delay, the task priority or perception strategy can be dynamically adjusted to achieve efficient resource allocation.
[0071] In this embodiment, the intelligent path guidance function for UAV inspection is specifically constructed based on the optimized path, the perception area, and the state prediction value in the following way, that is:
[0072] The spatial coordinate sequence in the optimized path, the risk score matrix of the perception area, and the state prediction value are jointly encoded into a path guidance input vector;
[0073] A path guidance function is constructed using a deep learning model based on the attention mechanism;
[0074] The path guidance vector is determined through the optimized path and the perception area;
[0075] The state prediction value is converted into a state prediction vector, and then the path guidance function is supervised and trained through the state prediction vector and the path guidance vector to obtain the intelligent path guidance function for UAV inspection.
[0076] In specific implementation, first, extract the spatial coordinate sequence in the optimized path through the dual-objective path model, and use the dual-objective path model to construct a risk scoring matrix for the perception area. After standardizing the state prediction value, the spatial coordinate sequence, and the risk scoring matrix, convert them into a path guidance input vector through one-hot encoding. Secondly, preset an attention mechanism based on the computational complexity of the standardization process, and construct a path guidance function based on the Transformer network. Then, perform secondary training and learning on the Transformer network through the optimized path and the perception area. Furthermore, the path guidance vector is obtained by the secondary-trained Transformer network through real-time inspection path prediction of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Finally, input the state prediction vector and map it to the same feature dimension as the path guidance vector, and then use cross-entropy as the loss function to supervise and train the path guidance function, and optimize the network weights through the backpropagation algorithm during the supervision and training process, so as to obtain the intelligent path guidance function for UAV inspection.
[0077] It should be noted that the intelligent path guidance function constructed in this embodiment has the ability of adaptive dynamic adjustment, which can respond to path changes in real time during operation, facilitating the implementation of optimal decision-making guidance; the intelligent path guidance function has the ability to fuse high-dimensional heterogeneous inputs, can effectively extract the deep semantic associations between data from different sources, and significantly improve the rationality of UAV inspection path selection; in addition, by introducing the attention mechanism, the intelligent path guidance function can focus on the key areas and high-risk targets in the current inspection task, improving the overall path guidance accuracy; the intelligent path guidance function can be deployed on the cloud collaborative platform of the UAV, and real-time path optimization is carried out through the wireless communication function of the UAV.
[0078] In step S4, perform backpropagation correction on the intelligent path guidance function to obtain the fault type characteristics and detection accuracy during UAV inspection, and construct a feature correlation weight matrix for the inspection path based on the fault type characteristics and the detection accuracy.
[0079] In this embodiment, performing backpropagation correction on the intelligent path guidance function to obtain the fault type characteristics and detection accuracy during UAV inspection can be specifically carried out in the following manner, that is:
[0080] Obtain the fault location and fault type during UAV inspection, and perform prediction and identification on the fault location and the fault type through the intelligent path guidance function to obtain the path offset and the fault detection deviation.
[0081] Determine the penalty factor based on the path offset and the fault detection deviation.
[0082] Perform gradient backpropagation on the intelligent path guidance function through the penalty factor to obtain the intelligent path guidance function with adjusted weight parameters;
[0083] Use the intelligent path guidance function with adjusted weight parameters to correct and identify the fault location and the fault type, and obtain the fault type characteristics and detection accuracy during the UAV inspection.
[0084] Specifically, when implementing, first, the multi-modal data transmitted through the wireless communication function of the UAV is divided by the recognition function pre-trained based on manual annotation to obtain the fault location and the fault type. The intelligent path guidance function is used to predict and output the fault location and the fault type. Then, the spatial offset distance between the predicted location and the actual fault location is used as the path offset, and the class difference between the predicted fault label and the actual label is used as the fault detection deviation. Among them, the class difference can be measured by categorical cross-entropy. Secondly, the weighted sum value of the path offset and the fault detection deviation is used as the penalty factor. Preferably, the weights of the weighted sum can be based on the validation set and adopted the Bayesian optimization method to traverse different weight combinations and evaluate indicators such as the inspection accuracy rate and the average path offset of the model. Finally, the optimal weight is selected. In other embodiments, the weight can also be determined by other methods, which are not limited here. Then, the penalty factor is substituted into the path guidance function as a constant term to obtain a new expression, and the parameters in the new expression are updated by gradient backpropagation through the backpropagation algorithm. Through the above update process, the intelligent path guidance function with adjusted weight parameters can be obtained. Preferably, the gradient backpropagation update process can use the gradient descent optimizer to adjust the weights of the multi-source input feature channels and the attention mechanism weights, which is beneficial to strengthening the model's perception ability of the fault spatial distribution and type difference. In other embodiments, other optimizers with the same adjustment effect can also be used for adjustment, which are not limited here. Finally, use the intelligent path guidance function after weight adjustment to predict and identify the fault location and the fault type obtained by the UAV, so as to output the fault type characteristics and detection accuracy during the UAV inspection, extract the fault type characteristics and calculate the detection accuracy. Among them, the detection accuracy can be evaluated by the recall rate.
[0085] It should be noted that the intelligent path guidance function in this embodiment can perform path planning and dynamic scheduling for the UAV; by establishing a penalty factor mechanism through the path offset and the fault detection deviation, it can effectively identify the error sources in the spatial positioning and type determination of the model, so as to achieve dynamic correction during the training process, enhance the adaptability of the fault characteristics, and facilitate driving the UAV to perform intelligent fault inspection; in addition, by performing real-time update on the intelligent path guidance function through the backpropagation correction process, the parameters can be adjusted in combination with the real-time perception results, so that the guidance function continuously adapts to environmental changes and diverse fault forms, and ensures the recognition accuracy of the UAV during the long-term and multi-task inspection process.
[0086] In this embodiment, the feature correlation weight matrix of the inspection path is specifically constructed based on the fault type feature and the detection accuracy in the following manner, that is:
[0087] Determine the risk level score according to the fault type feature;
[0088] Determine the detection confidence through the detection accuracy and the risk level score;
[0089] Construct a weight matrix based on the node features of the inspection path, and then optimize the association of the weight matrix by the detection confidence to obtain the feature correlation weight matrix of the inspection path.
[0090] Specifically, first, the fault type feature includes the fault category, fault location, and fault degree. Encode multiple dimensions of the fault type feature into a feature vector, and then perform a regression analysis on the risk level based on historical experience and the feature vector to obtain the risk level score. Then, multiply the detection accuracy by the reciprocal of the risk level score, and use the obtained product as the detection confidence. Among them, the detection confidence represents the reliability of the fault identification result. The higher the detection confidence value, the stronger the reliability of the fault identification result, and it can be given priority in subsequent decisions such as path scheduling, task planning, and risk warning. The lower the detection confidence, corresponding countermeasures such as downgrading processing, alternative paths, and enhanced inspections can be taken. Finally, perform feature encoding on the nodes where faults are identified in the inspection path of the UAV to obtain node features. The node features include the node location and the fault type. The node location and the fault type can be converted into a node feature vector through one-hot encoding, and then the matrix formed by arranging the node feature vectors row by row is used as the weight matrix. Then, perform weight association on each row of the weight matrix through the detection confidence. The detection confidence only assigns weights to the fault types, that is, in the weight matrix, the fault types corresponding to each row in the weight matrix are weighted by the detection confidence. The matrix obtained after weight assignment is used as the feature correlation weight matrix of the inspection path, which can be used for dynamic programming in the path reconstruction stage and can also be used as the adjacency weight matrix for input to the graph neural network.
[0091] It should be noted that the feature correlation weight matrix in this application refers to an expression matrix of the association strength between path nodes constructed through feature similarity calculation and confidence weighted optimization based on multi-dimensional features such as the spatial information, task attributes, fault types, and detection confidence of each path node in the UAV inspection path, which can be used to quantify the risk propagation ability between different nodes in the inspection task; in addition, by optimizing the weight distribution between nodes through the detection confidence, nodes with high risk and high recognition accuracy can be preferentially considered during the path planning process, thereby improving the reliability and efficiency of the overall inspection strategy.
[0092] In step S5, the inspection path of the UAV is identified and reconstructed based on the feature correlation weight matrix, and then the UAV is driven to perform intelligent fault identification based on the identified and reconstructed inspection path.
[0093] In this embodiment, the inspection path of the UAV is identified and reconstructed based on the feature correlation weight matrix, and then the UAV is driven to perform intelligent fault identification based on the identified and reconstructed inspection path. Specifically, the following method can be adopted, that is:
[0094] Map the feature correlation weight matrix to the node features of the inspection path, and then determine the reconstructed path sequence of the inspection path based on the particle swarm optimization algorithm;
[0095] The cloud collaborative platform of the UAV drives the UAV to perform intelligent fault identification based on the identified and reconstructed inspection path according to the reconstructed path sequence.
[0096] When specifically implemented, first map the feature correlation weight matrix to the node feature space of the inspection path, realize the association and fusion of the weight matrix and node features by constructing a weight mapping function, obtain the weighted feature representation, and based on this weighted feature representation, use the particle swarm optimization algorithm to perform global search and local adjustment on the inspection path, and then use the optimal access sequence of the obtained path nodes as the reconstructed path sequence of the inspection path; among them, the fitness function of the particle swarm optimization algorithm comprehensively considers the path length, node risk weight, and detection confidence to ensure that the path not only meets the inspection efficiency but also preferentially covers high-risk areas; in actual implementation, multiple particles can be initialized to represent different path sequences, and the speed and position of the particles can be iteratively updated to gradually approach the optimal path solution until the convergence condition is met or the preset number of iterations is reached; then, the cloud collaborative platform of the UAV dynamically adjusts the fault identification path to the UAV end through the reconstructed path sequence, and then drives the UAV to perform intelligent fault identification based on the dynamically adjusted fault identification path through wireless drive technology.
[0097] It should be noted that the inspection path recognition and reconstruction in this application refers to re - sorting and restructuring the original path node sequence through an optimization algorithm based on the risk correlation degree and detection confidence information between nodes provided by the feature correlation weight matrix, so as to generate an inspection path sequence that conforms to the current perception ability, which is beneficial to improving the path decision - making ability of the UAV in complex inspection scenarios, making the path planning result have structural rationality. Among them, the reconstructed path sequence can be synchronously transmitted to the cloud collaborative platform, and combined with the incremental learning mechanism to optimize the recognition model, so that the fault recognition strategy at the UAV end can be updated in real time and dynamically adapt to the changing task objectives, improving the overall intelligence level of the system.
[0098] It can be seen that in this application, path reconstruction and intelligent fault recognition driven by recognition feedback can be realized. First, by adopting the non - dominated sorting genetic algorithm and constructing a two - objective path model based on the historical fault data of the target inspection area, the coverage efficiency of the inspection path and the attention weight of high - risk areas can be taken into account at the same time, realizing multi - objective intelligent modeling of the initial inspection path and providing a structural prior reference for subsequent path dynamic optimization. Second, using the UAV to collect multi - source perception data of the target area, including visible light images, infrared thermal imaging, and spatial point cloud and other information, and combining with the two - objective path model to realize dynamic optimization processing of the path, which can not only adapt to environmental changes in real time, but also ensure multi - dimensional coverage of key areas, thus improving the integrity of inspection data and the dynamic response ability of the path. Then, through the cloud collaborative platform of the UAV, hierarchical recognition of the multi - source perception data is carried out, and an intelligent path guidance function is constructed by combining the optimized path, perception area, and state prediction value, enabling the path planning process to have state perception ability, realizing adaptive path scheduling under recognition guidance, and improving the correlation between the recognition area and path nodes. Then, by obtaining the fault detection deviation and path offset, performing backpropagation correction on the intelligent path guidance function, and constructing a feature correlation weight matrix of the inspection path by combining detection accuracy and fault type, not only can the path guidance strategy be feedback - optimized, but also the mapping relationship between recognition risk and path priority can be quantified, constructing a recognition - driven path control model. Finally, based on the feature correlation weight matrix, the inspection path is recognized and reconstructed, and the UAV is driven to perform fault detection tasks according to the recognized and reconstructed path, thus realizing the efficient coupling of path planning and recognition decision - making, and significantly improving the fault detection accuracy and path adaptability of the UAV in a dynamic environment.
[0099] In summary, the technical solution adopted in this application can realize path reconstruction and intelligent fault recognition driven by recognition feedback to improve the accuracy of UAV inspection results.
