if the similarity is high, in the embodiment, the similarity is high if the similarity is more than 70%, otherwise, the similarity is low; the ground station is also used for analyzing the total number of pier positions corresponding to the imaging quality unsatisfied requirement according to the prediction result (each image of which the imaging quality does not satisfy the requirement corresponds to one pier position during counting), judging whether the total number exceeds a set value, if so, firstly completing the flight of the whole inspection section, and then planning a new inspection route according to all recorded pier positions corresponding to the imaging quality unsatisfied requirement; if the image quality does not exceed the set value, after the unmanned aerial vehicle is controlled to complete the flight of the current bridge pier, the bridge pier position corresponding to the condition that the imaging quality does not meet the requirements is returned to acquire image data again, and then the new bridge pier is subjected to surrounding flight.
If the similarity is low, the ground station is also used for judging whether the number of the pier positions corresponding to the imaging quality unsatisfied requirements exceeds a set value according to the preliminary screening result, if the number of the pier positions exceeds the set value, firstly completing the flight of the whole inspection section, and then planning a new inspection route according to all recorded pier positions corresponding to the imaging quality unsatisfied requirements; if not, when the unmanned aerial vehicle is at the same height of adjacent piers and completes one-time surrounding flight, the unmanned aerial vehicle is controlled to horizontally fly to the pier position corresponding to the condition that the imaging quality does not meet the requirements, image data are collected again, the pier in inspection is returned, the radial rise is preset, and new surrounding flight is carried out.
The image data are transmitted back in real time to be screened preliminarily, the position where the imaging quality does not meet the requirement can be found in time, accordingly, the position can be planned in time to be subjected to rephotography, the bridge is built in mountainous areas and other areas with poor communication coverage, the possibility is high, the image data are selectively uploaded according to the prediction result of the AI model, and the bandwidth and the data processing capacity of the server can be effectively saved. The server is selected to process data, firstly, the computing power of the server is stronger than that of the ground station, the processing speed is higher, secondly, the computing power of the ground station is saved, the power consumption is reduced, and especially under the condition that charging in the field is inconvenient.
When the network connection condition meets the set requirement, real-time uploading of image data can be guaranteed, the server conducts preliminary screening in real time, and the ground station judges whether to need to fly again according to a preliminary screening result after encircling every time. When the network connection condition does not meet the set requirement, screening a single pier,
comparing the preliminary screening result with the prediction result so as to judge the accuracy of the AI model on the current bridge prediction, if the accuracy is high (namely the similarity is high), taking the prediction result as the basis of analysis, integrally judging the total quantity of pier positions corresponding to the condition that the imaging quality does not meet the requirements, and returning to the rephotography if the total quantity is lower than a set value; and if the accuracy is low, taking the preliminary screening result as the analysis basis, and only judging the number of the pier positions corresponding to the condition that the screened imaging quality does not meet the requirement, wherein the image data is collected again for the pier positions of the parallel layers when the total condition is not clear, so that the adjustment range of the second inspection route is reduced.
