Abstract

Existing completion methods for morphological defects induced by conductor breakage in transmission line LiDAR point clouds suffer from insufficient accuracy and poor adaptability to incomplete scenarios. To address these problems, this paper proposed a lightweight completion method based on a statistically calibrated catenary model. The method first extracted the lower-edge features of the conductor from the local visible point clouds and robustly estimated the measured sag using the percentile method. Then, taking the catenary equation as the geometric basis, the method automatically calibrated the model parameters in a data-driven manner to generate a continuous completion line satisfying the hard endpoint constraints. Experimental results show that in a real transmission line scenario with a span of 223 meters, the relative error of the reconstructed conductor sag is no more than 1%, and all indicators are better than the engineering allowable limit of ±5%. Without requiring deep learning training, the method is computationally efficient and can provide high-precision geometric support for digital twin and intelligent operation and maintenance of transmission lines.
