Utility mapping - Powerline processing software
LiDAR is an the most efficient and reliable way of mapping powerlines and the surrounding terrain features, vegetation, building and other structures no matter the accessibility.
A complete power line analysis is achievable with Terrasolid software. Start with matching different flight lines, move to point cloud classification, which gives input for wires along with towers vectorization. This leads to clearance hazards identification. The vector data can be integrated into professional software and thus, used in performing thermal capacity studies, analysing rebuild/reconductor projects, and generating as-built records.
Improve risk management with a help of intelligent powerlines solutions to the common maintenance challenges!
Applications
Power line vectorization | Danger object detection | Danger objects labeling | Clearance under wires analysis | Automatic wires detection | Check and correction of wire attachments |Towers vectorization | Labelling towers and heights of catenaries | Vegetation mapping around powerlines | Clearance corridor management |Reports of danger object locations | Orthomosaic processing in corridor mapping | Powerline extraction from UAV data | Airborne data for power grid inspection | Transmission and distribution lines modelling | etc.
Using TerraScan "Place Wire String" tool to digitize wires
Place Wire String tool lets you manually place a line string for a single wire (catenary string) between two towers. Wires can be placed manually when the automatic routine fails or classify and vectorize crossing lines.
Creating block boundaries along a tower string element using Create along tower string command
The command is most useful for creating blocks for a powerline project. Any linear element can serve as a tower string for this command. The block length is measured along the tower string but a block boundary is drawn at the location of the vertex that is closest within the given block length. The width of the blocks is constant.
Detect wires automatically using the Detect Wires tool in TerraScan
Use the tool to vectorize wires and classify points on wires of a power line. It draws line string elements in the CAD file for all detected wires.
