[0049] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention.
[0050] Unmanned surface vessels (USVs) are capable of long-term surface operations and can serve as mobile take-off and landing platforms and charging stations for drones. Drones, on the other hand, are flexible, maneuverable, and have a superior field of view, enabling them to acquire high-definition images and infrared data of photovoltaic panels at close range. Combining the two forms a "USV-drone collaborative" intelligent inspection system, which can achieve efficient, accurate, and automated inspection of large-area photovoltaic panels.

[0054] In this embodiment of the invention, based on The clustering algorithm clusters the photovoltaic panels in the current inspection area. If there are k drones on the unmanned surface vessel for inspection, the number of clusters is set to k, and the photovoltaic panels in the current inspection area form k clusters.

[0056] In this embodiment of the invention, a genetic algorithm is used to determine the inspection order of each inspection panel in each inspection area. The genetic algorithm is applied to the photovoltaic panels within a cluster to solve for the optimal inspection order in each inspection area. Taking the Kth cluster as an example, this cluster contains n photovoltaic panels, which are numbered as follows: Each chromosome is coded using a photovoltaic panel inspection sequence. Different chromosomes have different codes, meaning that the inspection sequence of each photovoltaic panel in the inspection area is different. The quality of each chromosome is evaluated based on fitness, and the photovoltaic panel inspection sequence corresponding to the optimal chromosome degree is finally used as the photovoltaic panel inspection sequence for the corresponding inspection area.

European distance The larger it is, the more energy it requires. The larger; To demonstrate the smoothness of the inspection sequence corresponding to the c-th chromosome, using photovoltaic panels as stations, the turning angle of each station in the inspection sequence corresponding to the c-th chromosome is calculated. Turning angles greater than a turning angle threshold are extracted, and the extracted turning angles are summed to form the total turning angle of the inspection sequence corresponding to the c-th chromosome. General steering The smaller the value, the smoother the surface. The larger.

[0067] (32) Sampling of candidate points within the rectangular area;
[0068] (33) Calculate the sum of the distances from all inspection endpoints to each candidate point, and take the candidate point with the smallest sum of distances as the UAV recovery point.
[0069] (4) Plan the travel path of the unmanned surface vessel from the starting position to the drone take-off point, and from the drone take-off point to the drone recovery point; plan the flight path of the drone from the drone take-off point to the inspection start point, from the inspection start point to the inspection end point, and from the inspection end point to the drone recovery point.

The current position of the USV is the recovery point of the UAV in the previous inspection area. If the current inspection area is the first inspection area in the inspection process, then the current position of the USV is the docking point of the USV on the shore.
[0071] It should be noted that the method for planning the unmanned surface vessel's (USV) path from its starting position to the UAV's takeoff point is the same as the method for planning the USV's path from the UAV's takeoff point to the UAV's recovery point. This invention plans the above-mentioned USV path using the artificial potential field method, as detailed below:

[0085] In this embodiment of the invention, the flight path planning methods from the UAV takeoff point to the inspection start point, from the inspection start point to the inspection end point, and from the inspection end point to the UAV recovery point are all the same, as follows:
[0086] Dynamically sample multiple velocity pairs in velocity space ,in, It measures the linear and angular velocities of the drone and simulates and predicts multiple candidate flight paths for the next time window;

The larger; Represent the safety score of the i-th candidate flight path, and calculate the closest distance between the i-th candidate flight path and the obstacle. The candidate flight path consists of a series of flight points. The distance from each flight point on the candidate flight path to the obstacle is calculated, and the minimum distance is taken as the distance from the corresponding candidate trajectory to the obstacle. Obstacles include static and dynamic obstacles. When the minimum distance is less than the set safety distance, the smaller the minimum distance, the higher the corresponding safety score. The smaller; Indicates the energy consumption of the i-th candidate flight path Since the motor power of each drone is a constant during flight, the longer the flight distance corresponding to the i-th candidate flight path, the higher the score. The lower.
[0091] (5) The UAV is mounted on the unmanned surface vessel (USV). The USV travels from the starting position to the takeoff point according to the planned path. The UAV is released from the USV at the takeoff point. The UAV flies from the takeoff point to the inspection start point according to the planned flight path. From the inspection start point to the inspection end point, the inspection end point flies to the recovery point. At the same time, the USV travels from the takeoff point to the recovery point. The time it takes for the USV to travel from the takeoff point to the recovery point is shorter than the time it takes for the UAV to travel from the takeoff point to the recovery point.
[0092] This invention uses unmanned surface vessels (USVs) as mobile docking points. It first determines the optimal inspection sequence for each inspection area, and then dynamically determines the release and recovery points of the USVs based on the inspection start and end points of the USV swarm. This minimizes the flight distance from the USV release point to the inspection start point and from the inspection end point to the recovery point, greatly improving the mission execution efficiency of the USV swarm.

[0096] The effectiveness of the method described in this invention was verified using the MATLAB R2022b simulation platform. The simulation experiment was conducted on a computer configured with an Intel Core i5-12600KF processor and 32GB of RAM.
[0097] Simulation scenario construction: In a 100×100m two-dimensional water simulation environment, m=10 photovoltaic arrays were randomly deployed. The maximum forward speed of the unmanned surface vessel (USV) was set to 1.5 m / s, and the maximum angular velocity was set to 0.8 rad / s. The UAV model was simplified to an omnidirectional moving point on a two-dimensional plane, and its cruising speed was set to 5 m / s to simulate its high maneuverability relative to the USV.
[0098] A genetic algorithm was used to solve the problem. The population size was set to 200, the number of iterations was 500, the crossover probability was 0.8, and the mutation probability was 0.05. The inspection order of the inspection area corresponding to each cluster was as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the current patrol area is divided into 5 clusters (represented by five colors), and an optimized access sequence is generated for each drone.
[0099] Artificial potential field method: The gravitational field gain coefficient is set to The repulsive field gain coefficient is set to The repulsive field's effective distance is set to Unmanned surface vessel path planning based on artificial potential field method, such as Figure 3 As shown, (a) is a planar schematic diagram of the unmanned surface vessel's (USV) path, with green dots representing static obstacles, and (b) is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the path with a force field. Figure 3 The demonstration showed that the unmanned surface vessel (USV) generated a smooth and collision-free path under the guidance of the combined potential field (gravity and repulsion), safely avoided all static obstacles (green dots), and finally successfully arrived at the recovery point (blue).
[0100] Dynamic window method: The velocity sampling resolutions are respectively Simulated trajectory time length Five drones took off simultaneously from the release point and began their inspection tasks according to their assigned inspection areas and order. During the flight, each drone operated independently. The algorithm performs local obstacle avoidance and online planning, such as Figure 4 As shown, black dots represent obstacles, and red dots represent target locations. When the drone's sensors detect dynamic obstacles, The algorithm simulates multiple future trajectories in real time and quickly selects the optimal candidate path based on the evaluation function to avoid dynamic obstacles while maintaining the forward trend toward the target point.
[0101] When the first drone is detected to have completed more than 80% of its mission, the dynamic calculation of the recovery point location begins. After receiving the recovery point location, the unmanned surface vessel plans its flight path from the current takeoff point to the recovery point. After completing their respective inspection tasks, all drones use the recovery point as their target location and plan their flight paths from the inspection endpoint to the target location, ultimately forming...
