Background
The power transmission line is regularly inspected in a patrol mode, the running condition of the power transmission line, the change conditions of the surrounding environment of the power transmission line and the line protection area are mastered and known at any time, and the power transmission line inspection method is heavy daily work of power supply enterprises. The manual inspection is a traditional inspection mode, and due to the fact that the terrain environment of a power transmission line corridor is complex, in some regions with severe conditions such as crossing rivers or mountains and mountains, inspection roads are lacked in sections along the line, the labor intensity of the inspection mode is high, the working conditions are hard, and the running condition of the power transmission line cannot be mastered in time. Unmanned aerial vehicle patrols and examines as a kind and uses equipment of patrolling and examining such as laser radar, visible light and thermal infrared imager to carry out the whole new inspection technology of patrolling and examining to transmission line, has advantages such as swift rapidly, work efficiency is high, do not receive the region influence, patrol and examine high quality, security height, unmanned aerial vehicle's application is the effective solution of intelligent development of circuit patrol and examine, is particularly useful for the electric power industry, and electric power patrols and examines and has become one of the civilian fields of unmanned aerial vehicle that china has the development potentiality most.
With the annual popularization of unmanned aerial vehicles in power inspection application and the continuous compression of inspection periods, the annual increase of the inspection mileage of the unmanned aerial vehicles will exceed 10% in the next years. The task amount of processing and analyzing the point cloud data of the unmanned aerial vehicle power inspection is quite huge, and the advanced application of inspection result data is urgently needed by a lean management target. Therefore, the processing of the line patrol point cloud data has very wide market space and potential, and the intelligent processing and analysis service platform for the unmanned aerial vehicle power patrol point cloud is urgently needed to be researched and developed at present.
Utilize the lidar scanning system that unmanned aerial vehicle platform carried on, can acquire high-tension transmission line's high density, high accuracy lidar point cloud and optical image data fast, realize that the true three-dimensional scene of transmission line body and surrounding environment rebuilds fast, carry out high accuracy cubical space and survey, dangerous point detection, simulation operating mode analysis and passageway visual management etc.. Since the power inspection application popularization of the unmanned aerial vehicle is formally started in 2013, the technology of scanning the power transmission line by the airborne laser radar is deeply and widely applied. In the face of rapidly increasing market demands, a plurality of scientific research institutions and scientific companies actively participate in market layout, and a complete industrial chain covering branch fields of unmanned aerial vehicle design and manufacture, laser sensor development, flight inspection service, data processing and analysis service, software system development and the like is gradually formed. Industry application in recent years shows that compared with the traditional operation mode of manually inspecting the power transmission line, the unmanned aerial vehicle laser radar scanning has the obvious advantages of high inspection speed, high imaging precision, rich types of ground objects contained in data, flexibility, good safety and the like, and can quickly reconstruct the three-dimensional scene of the power transmission corridor. At present, a long-acting working mechanism for power transmission line inspection, which is mainly based on machine inspection and assisted by human inspection, is initially established by units such as national power grid companies and southern power grid companies.
However, even if the operation is performed by the machine patrol method, there are certain problems in the fields of data storage management, automated processing analysis, and intensive production data application. The laser point cloud data is high in density and large in size, the number of points between every two power transmission gears (the range between two adjacent power towers) is as large as ten million on average, and the high-resolution image data synchronously acquired by an onboard camera is added, so that the inspection original data volume is quite large, high requirements on computer hardware in the aspects of data storage, processing, analysis and the like are undoubtedly provided, and a power transmission and transportation inspection department is synchronously required to be equipped with a corresponding system operation and maintenance guarantee system. On the other hand, power transmission service analysis and application are developed based on point cloud data, and various complex data processing (noise filtering, navigation band data splicing and registration, spectrum and point cloud data fusion, point cloud segmentation, feature extraction, ground feature identification and the like) must be performed firstly, although many related algorithms are available at home and abroad, the algorithms are limited to specific data, specific scenes and specific ground feature types, the input required by the algorithms is ideal, and the scale of the processed data is limited, so that the robustness, universality and expandability of the algorithms are all to be improved, and the parameter setting and processing flows are different according to different requirements of users, so that the mainstream commercial processing tools and open source software packages (such as Terrasolide, INPHO, ENVI LiDAR, CloudCompare, PCL and the like) in the market at present are mainly assisted to manually classify or semi-automatically process human-computer interaction, and the operation efficiency of point cloud data processing cannot be effectively improved for a long time, greatly limiting the need for users to quickly acquire and use data achievements. In addition, in the aspect of analyzing routing inspection result data, due to different technical levels, implementation manners and operation habits of various manufacturers, the problems of low efficiency, low result quality, even incapability of meeting the technical regulations of the industry in the analysis process and the like often exist.

Detailed Description
The technical scheme of the invention is further explained by combining the attached drawings.
The general architecture of the unmanned aerial vehicle power inspection point cloud intelligent processing and analyzing service platform is shown in figure 1. The platform is divided into four organically connected logical levels from bottom to top by taking a policy and regulation and information security system and a customer service and operation and maintenance management system as guarantee:

(d) And (3) a user layer: also called service terminal, is an interactive interface facing the end user, providing service access and applications.
(1) The overall architecture of the platform framework is as follows:
at present, in the aspect of processing and analyzing point cloud data of electric power inspection of an unmanned aerial vehicle, the domestic market mainly depends on running a stand-alone professional software tool on a workstation and adopts a man-machine interaction mode to operate. Due to the huge amount of point cloud data, the high price of a single workstation and the limited computing resources, the low working efficiency is inevitably caused. The cloud computing is a new computing mode capable of dynamically configuring resources according to user requirements, has super-strong elastic computing capability, and can provide synchronous or asynchronous computing services by simultaneously utilizing a large number of computing hosts to realize parallel synchronous real-time processing and analysis of point cloud data of the ultra-large scale unmanned aerial vehicle. According to the invention, line patrol point clouds and cloud computing are innovatively coupled, through an efficiency comparison test, a mainstream software tool in the market at present adopts manual interaction classification processing and line patrol analysis report compiling, the average time of each kilometer of a power transmission line is at least 6 hours, the full-automatic cloud parallel computing is adopted for 10 minutes at most, and the production efficiency can be improved by more than 30 times.
(2) Line patrol data storage and organization mode:
at present, in the aspect of storage of unmanned aerial vehicle inspection results, transmission and inspection departments in various regions are still at a lower management level, and a good management mechanism is not established. A large number of inspection results are stored sporadically on the workstations. In the aspect of the organization of the unmanned aerial vehicle inspection result, a directory or a file is mainly used as an organization structure, the name of the unmanned aerial vehicle inspection result is used as an index mark, a unified naming specification is lacked, and a great deal of inconvenience is brought to the classification, the retrieval and the use of the inspection result. Because the original routing inspection data is big data, the capacity of the existing storage equipment needs to be expanded every two years, and because professional and reasonable IT resource planning capacity is lacked, the hardware resource is often seriously wasted. By means of good opportunity of national broadband network speed increasing and cost reducing, the platform creatively takes a transmission line basic ledger as an index, a routing inspection result metadata model as a drive, a storage device virtualization as a basis and through open cloud storage service, powerful technical support is provided for uploading, accessing, managing and downloading of massive unmanned aerial vehicle routing inspection results. Under the service mode, the routing inspection results in each power transmission and transportation inspection department are organized and managed according to a layered structure of 'line interval-data version-data category-data entity', a user does not need to consider the problems of purchasing and operation and maintenance of storage equipment and the place where the data is stored, and can enjoy convenient data storage management service by paying corresponding service cost according to actual memory space, so that the time of carrying out business work by power transmission and transportation inspection team personnel is ensured, the management and use efficiency of routing inspection result data is improved, the waste of storage facility resources is effectively avoided, and the cost is saved for the user.
(3) The line patrol data processing core algorithm:
for a long time, factors such as research lag of related algorithms, unreasonable operation flow, high requirement on professional skills of operators and the like directly restrict the improvement of the point cloud data processing and analyzing efficiency. Currently, mainstream point cloud processing software in the market has certain automatic processing capability and classification accuracy on single ground objects such as noise filtering, ground point classification, wires, towers and the like, but has weak processing capability on other ground objects such as buildings, traffic facilities, vegetation and the like, and cannot execute multi-target classification processing tasks in parallel. In addition, the existing analysis mode mainly analyzes the tree line distance, the refinement degree is not high, and the practical value is low. The invention realizes the following point cloud processing and analysis in the power patrol of the unmanned aerial vehicle: firstly, point cloud self-adaptive segmentation. The point cloud segmentation is to divide the point cloud according to the geometric and texture characteristics of ground objects, so that the point clouds belonging to the same segmentation unit have similar characteristics, and the effective segmentation of the point cloud data is the premise of realizing high-level characteristics and semantic description. On the basis of in-depth research on algorithms such as heuristic segmentation, probability model segmentation, graph optimization segmentation, parameter model optimization segmentation, machine learning/deep learning segmentation and the like, a hierarchical optimization adaptive segmentation algorithm is designed by integrating heuristic voxel segmentation and graph optimization methods under a Riemann geometric framework, and the algorithm has clear logic, is easy to realize, has high operation efficiency and high fidelity of local details of ground objects, and lays an important foundation for multi-target full-automatic classification of three-dimensional point clouds. And secondly, automatically classifying the laser point cloud by multiple targets based on the multi-scale dimensional characteristics. We developed a multi-scale point cloud classification algorithm based on three-dimensional geometric dimension features. Firstly, the dimensional characteristics of various ground object core point cloud data under different scales are analyzed, then a multi-scale classifier is constructed, the optimal classification scale combination is automatically searched, and finally multi-target automatic classification is realized. Through verification, the method i) is efficient and can be applied to processing large-scene point cloud data; ii) high precision, the classification precision is better than 97.4%; and iii) the robustness is strong, the method can be used for processing complex scanning scenes, the complexity is expressed in data, point cloud missing, shielding and density non-homogeneous point clouds can be processed, the point cloud missing, shielding and density non-homogeneous point clouds are expressed in ground object scene categories, and multiple types of ground objects in the complex scenes can be segmented in a self-adaptive mode. And the intelligent real-time working condition safety distance analysis is realized. By combing the related technical regulations of power transmission line design and operation, various dangerous influence factors are arranged into a quantitative rule base, the threshold range of each detection rule is defined, by means of an efficient spatial index algorithm and a clustering algorithm, not only can the dangerous and hidden dangers outside the line be accurately analyzed and checked, but also the condition that the power transmission line crosses and spans high railways and highways can be automatically checked, the method can intelligently and accurately measure the parameter indexes of the drainage wire to the tower minimum clearance distance, the drainage wire length, the wire maximum sag, the wire length, the wire grade distance, the wire split line distance and the like which need to be measured on site when the transmission line is handed over and accepted, and the analysis results are automatically output as report texts in a standard format in a chart form, so that the method has the ultra-strong analysis capability and greatly saves the workload of manually compiling analysis reports. Because the point cloud data is uniformly stored in the cloud end, the whole processing and analyzing process is completed in the cloud end computing, and the efficiency of the point cloud data processing and analyzing is improved in a breakthrough manner due to the strong cloud computing performance.
(4) Line patrol data rendering technology and lean application:
at present, the storage and management mode of the point cloud result of the unmanned aerial vehicle power inspection is lagged behind, the shared use and the service application of the point cloud data result in a power transmission and operation inspection department are limited to a great extent, the application value of the data result is not fully mined, and the overall utilization efficiency of data resources is not high. Aiming at the problem, on the basis of cloud storage management and cloud processing analysis, a spatial index algorithm of super-large-scale point cloud data is optimized, real-time rendering and interactive measurement of massive three-dimensional point cloud scenes are realized on the basis of a modifiable nested octree data structure and in combination with a WebGL (Web Graphics Library, WebGL) technology, and long-time file copying among different hosts before a user browses data is avoided; services such as inquiry and statistics functions, defect elimination management functions, historical state comparison functions and the like of routing inspection results and line defect information are provided; the simulation analysis services of tree growth simulation, windage yaw working condition simulation, wire icing detection and the like are provided. In addition, in order to facilitate integration with the existing business application system of a user, a RESTful point cloud micro-service interface is developed based on a standard open protocol. The unmanned aerial vehicle power inspection result application service framework belongs to the first time in China, and the demand of lean management of a power transmission line can be effectively met.
The invention provides an open cloud data storage service, uploads increasingly-growing and massive unmanned aerial vehicle power inspection results to the cloud as required for unified storage, can conveniently manage, retrieve and download historical inspection result data, and provides a cloud data processing and analyzing service with high throughput and high efficiency; the method redefines human-computer interaction from the perspective of specialized data processing, realizes a highly-automated and intelligent service mode of a point cloud data factory, enables operators to thoroughly get rid of complicated processing steps, truly realizes a one-click processing flow, and constructs an unmanned aerial vehicle power inspection point cloud result application service framework.
