无人机遥感在油气管道巡检中的应用

Application of UAV Remote Sensing in Oil and Gas Pipeline Inspection

我国油气管道线路漫长,常常需要穿越沼泽、沙漠、山岭和森林等复杂区域或人口密集区域,因此存在巨大的安全隐患.为提高管道巡检水平,迫切需要引入高新监测技术及手段。由于具有对地观测成像分辨率高、设备机动性好、转场作业灵活以及便于紧急出动作业等优点,无人机遥感监测系统在油气管道巡检领域具有极大的应用价值。分析了将无人机遥感监测用于油气管道巡检的可行性,介绍了无人机油气管道遥感监测系统的监测内容、系统组成,数据处理成果和作业模式,并结合西南和西北地区的成功案例介绍了相关的实际使用情况。

There are many long oil and gas pipelines in our country. Since the pipeline needs topass through swamps, deserts, mountains, forests and other complex or densely populated areas, thereexists a potential huge safety risk. To improve the pipeline inspection ability, new high-tech inspectionmeans need to be incorporated urgently. Because of the advantages of high imaging resolution, goodequipment maneuverability, good mobility and convenient operation in case of emergency, remote sensingmonitoring systems onboard unmanned aerial vehicles （UAV） are of great value to the field of oil andgas pipeline inspection. The feasibility of an UAV remote sensing monitoring system used in oil andgas pipeline inspection is analyzed. The monitoring content, system components, data processing resultand operation mode of the UAV remote sensing monitoring system are presented. Several successfulapplication cases in some southwest and northwest districts in our country are given.
