INSPECTION

Some signals of deterioration and cracking of dams and bridges can only be identified by visual inspections. For this reason, visual inspections are irreplaceable in the control of the safety of dams and bridges. Concerning various parts of this structure, as there is no direct access to most of these areas, it is used cameras and/or binoculars to perform the inspection work, which is usually done from the banks of the river. So drones are very useful for the inspection of dams and bridges and pre-assessment of risks and dangers.

The communication industry is already benefiting from the use of drones. Tower climbing is seen as one of the most dangerous jobs and telecommunication operators can avoid risks through the use of drones for telecommunications tower inspection. Commercial drones are changing the way operators are auditing and inspecting wireless infrastructure by enabling a safer collection of high-resolution imagery and video of tower structures and equipment.

Long-distance transmission of electric power mainly adopts high voltage and ultra-high voltage overhead power lines. Line safe operation is the guarantee of long-distance transmission. Running state, setting defects, and condition of the transmission line will affect the stable operation, so the monitoring of the electric power line is very important. The traditional patrol method mainly relies on human monitoring. Artificial visuals cost a lot of manpower material resources, which is inefficient. As a result of the personnel experience and personal qualities of different, monitoring effect is difficult to standardize. UAV monitoring by not only the related parameters of line patrol but also analyzing the acquisition of information and existing defects through remote sensing technology. The final results show that the UAV patrol can get rid of the bad weather conditions, and dangerous geographical environment. It can accurately detect data. There is a huge advantage, compared with the human visual.
