Abstract

Abstract: There exist such disadvantages as high site risk and poor visibility for UAVs in inspection of high voltage transmission lines. Modeling analysis of the regions of interest(ROI including insulators, fittings and lines) of the high-voltage transmission lines by use of a virtual three-dimensional setting can provide optimization theory data for the UAV inspection and is very significant for improving the inspection safety. Virtualization of a high voltage transmission line is achieved in a Qt environment by using the API interface provided by Google Earth interfaces. Modeling analysis is made of the attitude angle of the airborne multi-rotor UAV PTZ system used for transmission line inspection to determine the relationship between ROI and PTZ system and simulation is carried out in the software environment. The testing results have proved the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Key words: UAV, high-voltage transmission, inspection, insulator positioning
