Fully Automatic Point Cloud Analysis for Powerline Corridor Mapping
Powerline inspection is an important task for electric power management. Corridor mapping, i.e. the task of surveying the surroundings of the line and detecting potentially hazardous vegetation and objects, is performed by aerial LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) survey. To this purpose, main tasks are automatic extraction of the wires, and measurement of distance of objects close to the line.
