The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle flight control, in particular to a control method of an inspection unmanned aerial vehicle, which comprises the following steps of: in response to a preset inspection instruction, obtaining a current target area
wind speed,
terrain information and a plurality of
humidity values fed back by a plurality of
humidity sensors arranged at different heights; flight parameters are constructed based on the
wind speed and
terrain information of the target area,
heat distribution cloud charts at different heights are generated during the period, and the
drip irrigation amount in the target area is calculated based on the
heat distribution cloud charts. According to the control method of the inspection unmanned aerial vehicle, the flight path can be dynamically optimized through a
wind speed self-adaptive
flight height adjustment mechanism in combination with single effective width calculation of the thermal imager, and meanwhile, the ground
heat distribution data of the same target area are collected at different heights in later
data processing, so that the control precision of the inspection unmanned aerial vehicle is improved. And meanwhile, in combination with the environment
humidity corresponding to different heights, the interference of the
flight height and the environment humidity on the thermal
imaging data is reduced, and the environment
data acquisition precision is remarkably improved.
