Research on inspection method of oil pipeline in alpine mountain of UAV platform

With the development and progress of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, UAVs have become the main force in performing various complex tasks, but at present, there is little related research on the application of UAVs in oil pipeline inspection, especially where there are continuous snowy peaks in alpine mountainous areas. Ravines, harsh natural conditions, and complex electromagnetic environments have adverse effects on the launch, recovery, use efficiency, command and control, and maintenance support of UAVs. By analyzing the characteristics of the alpine environment and its impact on UAVs, this paper puts forward solutions from three aspects: strengthening the support guarantee, enhancing the adaptability and innovating the methodology of designing alpine UAVs. It aims to provide a reference for UAVs to carry out the oil pipeline inspection tasks in alpine mountain areas.
