Unmanned helicopter route planning and optimization for power line inspection
A lot of research has been done at home and abroad,but most of them are laying optimal path from the starting point to the target point,there is not a complete set of design theory and methods for the power line inspection when unmanned helicopter flies at super low space in a complex terrain.Fully considering the unmanned helicopter performance,sensors parameters mission requirements and problems should be paid attention to during the process of electric power line inspection,a solution of unmanned helicopter track laid for the power line inspection at super low space and the key technologies which include segmented laying track,track smoothing and track anomaly detecting were presented in this paper in detail.Experiments showed that the scheme for unmanned helicopter used patrol of power lines to a low-space track designing was safe and reliable.
