A slight roar sounded, and the drone equipped with artificial intelligence recognition technology blew ripples on the water surface, and after a while, the rippling blue water reservoir returned to its former tranquility, and the data on the current situation analysis of the water surface, dam area, spillway (gate) channel, water conveyance culvert (hole), management facilities, etc., has been transmitted to the drone autonomous inspection platform through a high-speed communication link established by combining 5G/Internet technology......
Such scenes are now staged every day in Lao Ya Dam and Xiangshan Reservoir. The "Multi-base Intelligent Patrol" UAV autonomous inspection platform, developed and deployed by Nanjing Institute of Multi-base Observation Technology, is providing strong technical support for reservoir matrix management through an integrated intelligent collection and monitoring system such as unattended remote scheduling, automatic charging, autonomous inspection, and automatic identification.
"With the UAV intelligent hangar as the terminal, the 'multi-base intelligent patrol' autonomous inspection platform equipped with industrial-grade UAVs realizes the all-element and all-weather intelligent autonomous inspection of the reservoir area, which not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of the reservoir inspection, but also greatly reduces the workload of manual inspection, and is becoming an important means for water conservancy projects to improve management efficiency." The person in charge of Nanjing Institute of Multi-base Observation Technology said.
At present, the mainland has entered a new stage of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, and the masses of the people have higher expectations for a safe and stable social environment and have set higher demands on water conservancy work. The safety of reservoirs and dams is an important guarantee for national water security. The general secretary has also issued important instructions on many occasions, stressing that the mainland has a large number of existing reservoirs, many high dams, and many sick and dangerous reservoirs, and that it is necessary to adhere to safety first, strengthen the investigation, early warning, and elimination of hidden dangers, and ensure that the existing reservoirs are safe and sound. In this context, the "multi-base intelligent patrol" UAV autonomous inspection platform came into being, which provides important technical support for the modern operation and management of reservoirs.
It is understood that Jiangsu Province has a total of 935 reservoirs, including 6 large reservoirs, 45 medium-sized reservoirs and 884 small reservoirs. These reservoirs play an important role in flood control, irrigation, water supply, power generation, etc., and are an important water conservancy foundation for the province's economic and social development. At present, the "multi-base intelligent patrol" UAV autonomous inspection platform has carried out pilot work throughout the province, of which Changzhou and Zhenjiang City are city-level pilot areas, Yixing, Pukou, Lishui and other 8 counties (cities, districts) are county-level pilot areas, and 29 reservoirs such as Hengshan and Daxi are pilot reservoirs. It has truly realized the full coverage of large, medium and small reservoirs, as well as the full coverage of the three major river basins and districted cities with large and medium-sized reservoirs.
During the recent meeting on the pilot promotion of the modern reservoir operation and management matrix, Wang Jian, deputy director of the Department of Transportation and Management of the Ministry of Water Resources, made a special trip to the Laoyaba Reservoir in Lishui District, Nanjing City to visit and investigate, and highly affirmed the "multi-base intelligent patrol" UAV autonomous inspection platform. At the same time, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Water Resources organized cities and counties to discuss how to build a modern reservoir operation and management matrix, and guided Nanjing to take the lead in building the Laoyaba and Xiangshan reservoir management matrix platforms in the country, so as to create a "Jiangsu model" to further improve the precision, informatization and modernization level of reservoir operation and management.
In the future, the institute will continue to work closely with all parties to continuously optimize the performance of the UAV inspection platform, further develop relevant core technologies, and help improve the modernization level of reservoir operation and management. At the same time, it is also expected to promote and apply UAV technology in more fields, and contribute multi-base wisdom and multi-base strength to the development of the national low-altitude industry. The relevant person in charge of Nanjing Institute of Multi-based Observation Technology said.
