    Abstract: A system and a method are provided for feasibility evaluation of UAV Digital Twin based on Vicon motion capture system is disclosed, which establishes a mission feasibility evaluation model according to flight history data of a target UAV acquired by the UAV Digital Twin system. The mission feasibility evaluation model includes a UAV trajectory prediction module and a mission feasibility determination module. The UAV trajectory prediction module acquires real-time position and attitude information of the target UAV according to the Vicon motion capture system, and predicts target flight trajectory of the target UAV according to the real-time position and attitude information. The mission feasibility determination module compares the position difference between an end point of the target flight trajectory and preset designated mission point to evaluate feasibility of target mission of the target UAV.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a detection method and system for an underground space by joint use of fixed sensors and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) movement detection. The detection system includes underground space sensor nodes and an underground space UAV. The underground space sensor nodes are configured to perform fixed monitoring based on an adaptive optimal layout strategy for an underground structural space. The underground space UAV is configured to calculate a first virtual force, and realize movement detection by means of a virtual force-guided path planning algorithm. The underground space UAV is configured to calculate the first virtual force based on the electronic telescopic anti-collision bars, a second virtual force based on a static perception probability and a third virtual force based on structural evolution knowledge, and realize a fixed node-guided UAV flight detection mode by means of the virtual force-guided path planning algorithm.
