The metal wires (such as steel-cored aluminum stranded wire) in transmission lines are responsible for transmitting electrical energy. The ground wire, also known as the lightning protection wire, is used to protect against lightning strikes and electrostatic induction, protecting the conductors and towers. Inspections can detect potential hazards such as conductor breaks and lightning damage in advance, avoiding power outages, ensuring the stable operation of transmission lines, reducing faults caused by extreme weather (such as typhoons and snow), and addressing corrosion and wear issues promptly, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

A transmission line inspection system based on UAV multispectral acquisition, used to implement the transmission line inspection method based on UAV multispectral acquisition as described in any one of claims 1-7, characterized in that, include: Data acquisition unit: acquires past overhead transmission line inspection information, analyzes and processes the past overhead transmission line inspection information to obtain past transmission line information, past inspection route data and past maintenance information; Model building unit: Constructs a transmission line model based on past transmission line information, past inspection route data, and past maintenance information; Route generation unit: Obtains current overhead transmission line information, imports the current overhead transmission line information into the transmission line model to generate the current inspection model and generate dynamic inspection routes; The results processing unit inspects the current overhead transmission line according to the dynamic inspection route and corrects the dynamic inspection route in real time to obtain the inspection results. It analyzes and processes the inspection results to obtain the information to be processed and inputs the information to be processed into the transmission line foundation model to obtain the maintenance plan.
