Abstract(s)
Autonomous inspection Unmanned Aerial Vehicle systems
are an essential research area, including power line distribution inspection.
Considerable efforts to solve the demanding presented in the
autonomous U AV inspection process are present in technical and scientific
research. One of these challenges is the precise positioning and fly
control of the U AV around the energy structures, which is vital to assure
the security of the operation. The most common techniques to achieve
precise positioning in UAV fly are Global Positioning Systems with RealTime
Kinematic. This technique demands a proper satellite signal receiving
to work appropriately, sometimes hard to achieve. The present work
proposes a complementary position data system based on augmented
reality tags (AR Tags) to increase the reliability of the UAV fly positioning
system. The system application is proposed for energy power tower
inspections as an example of use. The adaptation to other inspection
tasks is possible whit some small changes. Experimental results have
shown that an increase in the position accuracy is accomplished with
the use of this schema.
