漫長的四季

"Unmanned aircraft has just formed industry, and has not yet formed an industry. Generally speaking, it lacks standardization and the situation is chaotic. " Referring to the current situation of UAV development, Pan Yifeng, general manager of China Science and technology cloud map, has spoken frankly.

Software Defined WAN Area Networking (SD-WAN) is a transformational approach to simplify branch office networking and assure optimal application performance.

Speaking of UAVs, it seems easy to be fooled by the valuation of more than $10 billion in Xinjiang, which is considered a mature industry. However, in the entire UAV ecology, Dajiang is only one of Microsoft, Intel, is to provide some infrastructure upstream enterprises, and the outbreak of industrialization needs to emerge downstream Baidu, Tencent and other service application giants. At present, the downstream application of the civil UAV is divided into consumption-level and industry-level. The ecology of the consumer-level UAV is maturing day by day, while the industry-level UAV is in the early exploration stage of hazy, mainly concentrated in the application of geographic mapping, power grid patrol and other fields.

According to the relevant reports of the global UAV network, the scale of civil UAVs will reach 46.5 billion yuan by 2020 and 75 billion yuan by 2025. This can directly explain that the future of the UAV market is expected. Some might argue that upstream and downstream consumer UAVs account for half of the market, leaving little room for industry-class UAVs. But Pan Yifeng did not think so. In fact, the market of UAV + right is huge, such as power inspection. According to Pan Yifeng analysis: the country's 110 kV above 1.2 illion kilometers, once a month to inspect, according to 2000 yuan per kilometer calculation, the power grid inspection market size of more than 20 billion per year.

So, simply speaking, it is not that there is no market, but whether we have found the right market. Pan Yifeng said: "Solving the industry's immediate needs is also the key to the industrialization of the UAV market, some industries have corresponding costs to do something every year." He said that "some industries" include power, water and other geographic mapping, disaster relief and other government or enterprise planned livelihood plans. And he led the China Science Cloud Map is a use of their own research and development of UAV intelligent control system and depth image processing system, to provide "UAV + geospace" intelligent products and industry application solutions enterprises.

Moat of industry class UAV

China Science Cloud Map divides UAV and geographic space into two technical standpoints, and then applies them to them. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is only a carrier platform, which needs to carry what kind of sensors, how to deal with the collected data, how to feed back the data to the user, which needs to be systematized. China Science and technology cloud map around the UAV +, mainly launched two products: patrol line Bao and river Chang Tong.

"Consumer UAVs take a beautiful picture back, I can be friends circle, the industry-class UAV process is not so simple." Pan Yifeng said that the requirements of every subdivision industry are completely different, such as mountain separation. However, the founding team of China Cloud Map has a geographer, Academician Zhou Chenghu of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a doctor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who studies image algorithms. Pan Yifeng himself has more than ten years of experience in Southern Power Grid and other enterprises. "Our core competitiveness is the team itself, and we understand both the electricity and water industries very well." He said. Electricity, water, medical and other areas of people's livelihood, the industry itself is the threshold and barriers, understand the industry, people with resources have an absolute advantage.

As an "old man" in the power grid industry, Pan Yifeng is well aware of the pains of traditional power patrol inspection: heavy workload, high labor costs, low efficiency, and security risks. After UAVs are added, these problems can be effectively alleviated. However, Pan Yifeng said that the UAV + power grid actually has three stages of development:

The first stage is manual control. Power grid enterprises bought UAVs, allowing operators to post posts after textual research. This just reduces the difficulty of patrolling. People take UAVs to the front line without climbing the tower, but the data analysis needs to be manual.

The second stage: automation stage. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with RTK high-precision positioning technology can achieve automatic driving, followed by AI auxiliary analysis data, to a certain extent, liberated more manpower. However, in fact, this stage only improves the efficiency of inspection, because the UAV communication and data samples are insufficient to achieve the desired automation, or the need for human operations and maintenance assistance.

The third stage: the unmanned stage. UAV with 5G+RTK, can achieve full automation inspection. At this time, people do not have to go to the scene, as long as the deployment of automatic airport stops. UAV automatically inspecting, sending data back in real time, automatically returning to the nest and charging automatically. It can achieve remote scheduling unmanned.

It is reported that the multi-rotor UAV overhead transmission line automatic patrol scheme is based on RTK high-precision positioning UAV, which is now in the second stage, is moving towards the third stage. Based on the laser point cloud data of transmission lines and the characteristics of fine patrol and channel patrol of overhead transmission lines, a set of UAV application scheme covering data acquisition, data processing, data analysis and application results is formulated. Simply put, the scheme includes hardware such as sensors and software such as AI analysis software, UAV automatic pilot and so on.
