Joint Multi-UAV Trajectory Design for Power Line Inspection
-
摘要: 无人机(UAV)技术在输电线路自动巡检的应用中具有重要的意义和广阔的应用空间。考虑到无人机的续航能力受限，无人机需要在电量耗尽前从机巢飞往指定巡检区域，完成输电塔杆的巡检，再安全返回机巢。为此，针对大范围输电线路巡检场景，该文以最小化巡检时间为优化目标，提出一种支持大范围输电线路多无人机巡检方法。具体而言，首先通过k-means++算法合理分配无人机巡检任务，再在巡检电池能量的约束下基于改进的模拟退火算法优化无人机巡检轨迹来提升巡检效率。最后，基于模拟真实环境中塔杆的分布数据，对所提出的无人机任务分配和轨迹设计算法进行仿真分析。仿真结果验证了所提算法通过多无人机巡检任务分配和轨迹设计可显著减少总的巡检时间。Abstract: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) technology holds significant importance and offers extensive potential for application in the field of inspection. Taking into account the limited endurance of the UAV, it needs to fly from the nest to the designated inspection area, complete the inspection of the transmission tower, and then return to the nest safely before the battery is exhausted. For large-scale inspection scenarios aiming, a multi-UAV inspection method is proposed to minimize inspection time. In detail, the k-means++ algorithm is used to optimize UAVs task allocation and the modified simulated annealing algorithm is utilized to optimize the inspection trajectory to improve inspection efficiency. Finally, the tower pole distribution data from a simulated real-world environment, the proposed algorithm is employed to assign UAVs tasks and design trajectories. The simulation results confirm that the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the total inspection time through multi-UAV task allocation and trajectory design.

1 K-means++算法流程
初始化： 设定$ K $值 迭代 (1)从数据集$ \left\{ {{{\boldsymbol{\alpha}} _1},{{\boldsymbol{\alpha}} _2}, \cdots ,{{\boldsymbol{\alpha}} _M}} \right\} $中随机选择一个样本点作为第一个初始聚类中心$ {{\boldsymbol{u}}_1} $； (2)对于数据集中的每一个数据$ {{\boldsymbol{\alpha}} _m} $，计算其到已选择的中心点中最近中心点的距离平方。$ D\left( {{{\boldsymbol{\alpha}} _m}} \right) = {\min _{{{\boldsymbol{u}}_k} \in U}}{\left\| {{{\boldsymbol{\alpha}} _m} - {{\boldsymbol{u}}_k}} \right\|^2} $，其中$ U $表
示已选择的中心点的集合；(3)选择一个新的数据点$ {{\boldsymbol{u}}_k} $作为新的中心，选择的概率为$ P\left( {{{\boldsymbol{u}}_k}} \right) = \dfrac{{D{{\left( {{{\boldsymbol{u}}_k}} \right)}^2}}}{{\displaystyle\sum\nolimits_{{{\boldsymbol{u}}_k} \in U} {D{{\left( {{{\boldsymbol{u}}_k}} \right)}^2}} }} $； (4)如果选择了$ K $个聚类中心，则停止迭代；否则返回(1)。
