Solution Overview

Problem

During unmanned aerial vehicle inspections, background workers need to monitor inspection screens in real-time to position targets, which is inconvenient and inefficient.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for detecting and positioning inspection targets using a target detection module to identify and geographically locate targets within a sub-area inspected by an inspection device, and displaying these targets on an inspection map, enabling accurate and convenient target identification without continuous real-time monitoring.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If background workers monitor inspection screens in real-time to position targets, then target positioning can be achieved, but the inspection process becomes inconvenient and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetarget positioning convenienceVSAvoidreal-time monitoring time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary target detection and geographical position determination during the inspection process, so that when inspection is completed, targets and their positions are already identified and can be directly displayed on the inspection map without requiring real-time monitoring

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a visual copy of the inspection results by displaying detected targets and their geographical positions on an inspection map, replacing the need for workers to directly monitor and interpret raw inspection screens in real-time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Measurement precision

If continuous real-time monitoring is performed to identify targets, then accurate target detection can be achieved, but inspection efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetarget detection accuracyVSAvoidinspection efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The inspection device automatically performs target detection and geographical position determination without requiring continuous human monitoring, enabling the system to serve itself in identifying and locating targets while maintaining detection accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides automated feedback by displaying detected targets and their positions on the inspection map, eliminating the need for continuous real-time monitoring while maintaining accurate target identification through automated detection algorithms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a method, apparatus and device for detecting and positioning an inspection target and a storage medium. The method includes: detecting a first inspection target and a first geographical position of the first inspection target in a target inspection sub-area of an inspection device, the target inspection sub-area being a sub-area inspected by the inspection device during a process of performing an inspection task; and displaying the first inspection target at the first geographical position in an inspection map. In this technical solution, there is no need for a user to monitor an inspection screen in real time.
