Abstract

Three-dimensional reconstruction and visualization of overhead transmission lines is an important foundation for grid operation and maintenance management. This paper introduces a 3D visualization method of transmission lines based on the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology, which includes four steps: (I) Using UAV-LiDAR technology to obtain 3D point cloud data of power lines; (II) Using the least-squares method with loss minimization constraints to fit the point cloud data of the power lines, to obtain the accurate fitting function of the power lines; (III) Using the spline interpolation algorithm to draw the 3D scene in the 3D vectors, and combine with building information modeling (BIM) model to construct the transmission line visualization scene. The method of this paper can improve the authenticity and reliability of transmission line simulation and provide technical support for the digital platform of power grid management.
