    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: Tunnel defect detecting method and system using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are provided, and the UAV is equipped with a light-emitting diode (LED) module, a camera, a laser radar, an ultrasonic distance meter and an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The method includes: collecting images in a tunnel based on the LED module and the camera to obtain a training image set; training by using the training image set to obtain a defect detecting model, collecting real-time tunnel images, detecting suspected defects to the real-time tunnel images by the defect detecting model, obtaining pose information of the UAV based on the camera, the laser radar, the ultrasonic distance meter and the IMU to control the UAV to hover. The method can realize accurate pose estimation and defect detection in the tunnel with no GPS signals and highly symmetrical inside.
