This research showcases an innovative approach for automated transmission line inspection using power laser technology, enhancing decision-making accuracy and operational efficiency.
With the expansion of the scale of ultra-high-voltage transmission lines and the complexity of the corridor environment, the traditional manual inspection method faces serious challenges in terms of efficiency, cost, and safety. In this study, based on power laser inspection technology with a high-precision servo control system, a complete set of laser point cloud processing technology is proposed, covering three core aspects: transmission line extraction, scene recovery, and operation status monitoring. In transmission line extraction, combining the traditional clustering algorithm with the improved PointNet++ deep learning model, a classification accuracy of 92.3% is achieved in complex scenes; in scene recovery, 95.9% and 94.4% of the internal point retention rate of transmission lines and towers, respectively, and a vegetation denoising rate of 7.27% are achieved by RANSAC linear fitting and density filtering algorithms; in the condition monitoring segment, the risk detection of tree obstacles based on KD-Tree acceleration and the arc sag calculation of the hanging chain line model realize centimetre-level accuracy of hidden danger localisation and keep the arc sag error within 5%. Experiments show that this technology significantly improves the automation level and decision-making accuracy of transmission line inspection and provides effective support for intelligent operation and maintenance of the power grid.
