Justification of the effectiveness of the integration and application of specialized types of UAVs in the process of maintenance of the infrastructure of high-voltage power lines

Abstract

The use of specialized types of UAVs in the process of technical maintenance of the infrastructure of high-voltage transmission lines is becoming more and more widespread and is used by companies in the energy sector of Ukraine. The energy efficiency and speed of processing information about the state of power lines with the help of specialized software allows you to form a variety of summary information about the high-quality periodic maintenance of high-voltage power lines, especially in hard-to-reach places where they are laid. Accurate detection of power lines using UAVs is based on methods that use deeply supervised neural networks for image processing at the pixel level of three-dimensional environmental point cloud data.
