Basic Measurement
Basic measurement involves a semi-automated process in which points are selected directly on point cloud data to perform various measurements. These include conductor-related measurements such as sag, phase-to-phase distance, and the minimum distance from the conductor to the ground wire at the midpoint of a span.
It also covers clearance measurements between conductors and surrounding objects, such as vegetation, buildings, ground surfaces, and crossing lines. Additionally, it enables spatial distance measurements between any two points, with results showing the straight-line distance, horizontal distance, and vertical distance.
LASER POINT CLOUD MODELING
UAVs or manned aircraft equipped with LiDAR scan power transmission lines. The collected 3D point cloud data is imported into a self-developed UAV inspection platform to build a digital record of the lines, with spatial accuracy up to the centimeter level. This supports flight path planning, 3D modeling, and condition analysis.
Point cloud analysis helps quickly identify hazards such as tree obstructions, wind deviation, and ice buildup, enabling fast reporting and supporting a shift from reactive response to proactive prevention.
Ground Wire Inspection
Flight Path Planning and Autonomous Inspection
Based on LiDAR point cloud data, the inspection route is planned, and the drone autonomously follows the route to perform power line inspections.
Image Analysis and Defect Detection
By analyzing the captured images, defects such as broken strands, loose strands, and lightning strikes can be identified.
Specialized measurement
Specialized measurement uses automated batch tasks to assess tower height, tilt, angle, GPS location, and cross-arm height differences. It also measures conductor and ground wire sag, span length, and key clearances.
Additional measurements include jumper wire sag and its nearest distance to the tower, as well as phase spacing between conductors and ground wires. Results are compared to reference standards, with anomalies automatically detected and labeled.

Clearance simulation
Clearance simulation is performed on classified point cloud data by setting safety distances for the ground, buildings, vegetation, and crossing objects. Simulation tasks are created in batches by span to identify potential risk points within the transmission corridor.
These risk points can be located, visualized on a 3D map, and exported, providing users with clear guidance to eliminate potential hazards along the corridor.
