Computer-Aided Evaluation Protective Zone of Transmission Lines Using Remote Sensing Multispectral Data

Abstract

This work presents the original software to monitor compliance with the established conditions of the protective zone of transmission lines. Remote sensing data in the visible and infrared spectral ranges are used as input. The software provides the computer-aided creation of thematic digital layers using remote sensing multispectral data. The layers contain spatial and attributive information about violations affecting the safe operation of electric grid facilities. There is a brief description of the methods and algorithms developed to solve the problems of estimation of wood overgrowth along transmission lines and identification of typical objects (landfill, oil-contaminated sediment, soil damage) that are prohibited in the protective zone.
