The invention provides a
bridge inspection method, device and
system based on an unmanned aerial vehicle, and the method, device and
system are applied to a GNSS-free environment, real-time
point cloud data of a bridge and a surrounding environment are obtained through an end-side unmanned aerial vehicle, and a three-dimensional
point cloud model of the bridge and the surrounding environment is constructed in combination with the real-time
pose information of the end-side unmanned aerial vehicle; based on the three-dimensional
point cloud model, in combination with the real-time
pose information of the end-side unmanned aerial vehicle, an
obstacle avoidance path of the end-side unmanned aerial vehicle is planned, and autonomous
cruise is completed; in the autonomous
cruise process, acquiring a bridge surface image through an end-side unmanned aerial vehicle, detecting bridge damage in the bridge surface image in real time by using a pre-trained target detection neural
network model, and generating a
damage detection result; and through a side control terminal, mapping a
damage detection result to a world coordinate
system of the three-dimensional point cloud model, and generating a bridge three-dimensional digital twin space-
time model with damage marks. According to the invention, the whole process of unmanned aerial vehicle
bridge inspection, bridge structure three-
dimensional modeling and bridge surface
damage detection can be integrally realized in a GNSS-free environment.
