Research on night patrol system of transmission line based on UAV

Abstract

This paper describes the application status and existing problems of the nocturnal patrol technology of the overhead transmission lines in our country. A system for carrying night vision of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on the nocturnal patrol of the overhead transmission lines is introduced in detail, and the design scheme of the system is presented. The specific contents are as follows: A set of transmission line UAV airborne night patrol platform is developed; Develop corresponding control system software and real-time image transmission system; Canny algorithm and improved adaptive Canny algorithm are used to detect the edge of the image returned by the night vision patrol system. The results show that this method has good intelligence and high identification, it is convenient for the staff to identify transmission line faults, and effectively improves the night patrol ability of overhead transmission lines.
