This invention relates to the field of
power line inspection equipment technology, and discloses a power line insulator defect detection device based on binocular UAV ensemble, comprising: a UAV ensemble execution module, a
binocular vision inspection module, an ensemble collaborative control module, a
data processing and defect identification module, a
wireless communication module, and a ground monitoring terminal; the UAV ensemble execution module adopts a master-slave ensemble architecture, consisting of one master-controlled UAV and several slave-controlled inspection UAVs forming an inspection ensemble. By employing binocular synchronous
imaging technology, it simultaneously acquires two-dimensional appearance and three-dimensional depth information of the insulator, completely solving the problems of single-
eye detection lacking depth and prone to
false detection and missed detection; moreover, the master-slave ensemble architecture enables multi-
machine synchronous collaborative operation, with a wide coverage area, high inspection efficiency, and the ability to complete long-distance line inspections in one go, possessing fault redundancy capability, and significantly improving
operational stability and continuity.
