Visualization Elements in the Examination of Dangerous Production Facilities using an Unmanned Aircraft

Abstract

The paper considers the possibility of using visualization when preparing a task for frontal surface examination of hazardous industrial facilities using unmanned aerial vehicles. The research is based on the results of an experimental survey of buildings and structures of a large metallurgical enterprise in Russia. As initial data, photographs of buildings and structures obtained using a camera of an unmanned aerial vehicle and their drawings were used. When building a 3D model, the capabilities of Autodesk AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit were used. When building a 2D information model, a combination of a 3D model and a photograph of the object was used. The resulting 3D and 2D models are included in the structure of the flight chart as part of an applied digital platform in an automated decision-making system for expert assessment of the technical condition compliance of a hazardous production facility with regulatory requirements. Violation of regulatory requirements entails the occurrence of emergencies and incidents at an industrial enterprise. Visualization elements allow increasing the reliability of information entering the database of expert information.
