The embodiment of the invention provides an unmanned aerial vehicle flight path detection method and equipment, and the method comprises the steps: firstly determining a
flight plan of an unmanned aerial vehicle, then generating a flight
path line and a first space-time envelope corresponding to the
flight plan according to the
flight plan, monitoring the flight attitude data of the unmanned aerial vehicle after the unmanned aerial vehicle takes off, and carrying out the detection of the flight path of the unmanned aerial vehicle. A second space-time envelope body can be obtained according to a first time point, a first distance between space position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the first time point and a
flight track point in the second space-time envelope body is calculated, and whether the unmanned aerial vehicle deviates from the first space-time envelope body or not is judged according to the first distance. According to the scheme, by introducing the flight plan, the
flight track line and the space-time envelope of flight, the flight path of the unmanned aerial vehicle in
specific time is predicted, the
full view of the
flight process in the whole flight plan is mastered, meanwhile, the distance relation between the real-time position of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the corresponding space-time envelope is calculated, and the possible
yaw risk of the unmanned aerial vehicle is accurately recognized.
