Abstract

In connection with the shortcomings of the current power transmission line inspection Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), a new electric power inspection fixed-wing UAV is developed to improve the efficiency. The images of the line defects and potential problems are located and collected with the aerial views of the cameras. Combined with the GPS of the transmission tower, an autonomous flight inspection and airborne image real-time display is presented according to the default track points. The real-time image is considered as instructions to deformat UAV wings and achieve low-speed and low-altitude detailed inspection of the key parts of the circuit. It is able to self-control over-continent flight for 3 hours and it can be used to conduct ground and relatively small mountain ranges, plains region of daily patrol and large area electric power line disaster monitoring word.
