Unmanned aerial vehicle returning method, unmanned aerial vehicle and computer-readable storage medium

An unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising:

• a body;
• and
• an arm, connected to the body;
• a wing, disposed on the arm and configured to provide flying power for the unmanned aerial vehicle;
• and
• a sensor, disposed on the body and configured to collect sensor data;
• an aircraft communicator, disposed on the body;
• and
• a flying controller, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the processor is communicatively connected to the sensor, the aircraft communicator and the memory separately, the processor being configured to execute one or more computer programs stored in the memory, and when executing the one or more computer programs, the processor causing the unmanned aerial vehicle to implement a returning operation, the returning operation comprising:
• obtaining returning trigger information generated when an unmanned aerial vehicle inspects a target power line, wherein the target power line comprises a plurality of pole towers deployed along the target power line;
• in response to the returning trigger information, determining a pole tower that satisfies a preset returning condition in the plurality of pole towers as a target pole tower;
• determining, based on the target pole tower, that a pole tower that the unmanned aerial vehicle passes by in an inspection process is an intermediate pole tower;
• generating a returning path based on location information of the target pole tower and location information of at least one of the intermediate pole tower;
• and
• controlling, based on the returning path, the unmanned aerial vehicle to perform a returning operation.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, the computer program comprising program instructions, and the computer program, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to:

• obtain returning trigger information generated when an unmanned aerial vehicle inspects a target power line, wherein the target power line comprises a plurality of pole towers deployed along the target power line;
• in response to the returning trigger information, determine a pole tower that satisfies a preset returning condition in the plurality of pole towers as a target pole tower;
• determine, based on the target pole tower, that a pole tower that the unmanned aerial vehicle passes by in an inspection process is an intermediate pole tower;
• generate a returning path based on location information of the target pole tower and location information of at least one of the intermediate pole tower;
• and
• control, based on the returning path, the unmanned aerial vehicle to perform a returning operation.
