在其他實施例中,影像分析程序並非只應用於當攝像體1241在攝像位置之情況,亦可應用於其他時間點,例如是以固定間隔時間來進行。In other embodiments, the image analysis procedure is not only applied when the
另外,在電力方面,本實施例之地面式自走巡檢系統1可進行自動歸位充電程序,當檢查載具之電量低於設定值時,將檢查載具12移動至充電站C(圖1)進行充電。自動歸位充電程序可藉由控制模組122來進行,例如控制模組122依據自動歸位充電程式來進行自動歸位充電程序。在此以圖9舉例說明之。圖9為本揭露實施例之地面式自走巡檢系統1進行自動歸位充電程序S5的流程圖,如圖9所示,自動歸位充電程序S5包含偵測電量(S51)、電量是否低於設定值(S52)、若結果為否則回到步驟S51、若結果為是則確定最短路徑(S53)、依據最短路徑移動檢查載具12至充電站C(S54)。以下請搭配圖2及圖3說明上述步驟。其中,在步驟S51時,可由電量偵測模組202對充電電池模組201進行電量偵測。在步驟S52及S53中,當控制模組122經由電量偵測模組202確定電量低於設定值時,控制模組122確定最短路徑,這可由程式輔助進行。在步驟S54中,控制模組122依據最短路徑控制驅動模組123,使檢查載具12移動至充電站C進行充電。需注意者,在其他實施例中,上述步驟皆可依實際需求作調整,例如步驟S53為非必要或可由其他步驟代替。In addition, in terms of power, the ground-based self-propelled
在一實施例中,可依需求安排上述程序的進行,以下以圖10舉例說明之,但非用以限制本揭露。In one embodiment, the above-mentioned procedures can be arranged according to requirements, and FIG. 10 is used as an example to illustrate the following, but it is not intended to limit the present disclosure.
如圖10所示,地面式自走巡檢系統1依序進行檢測點確定程序S2、攝像位置確定程序S3、氣體分析程序S1、影像分析程序S4及自動歸位充電程序S5。其中,在檢測點確定程序S2完成後,檢查載具12可到達檢測點;在攝像位置確定程序S3完成後,攝像體1241可到達攝像位置;之後可依序進行氣體分析程序S1以及影像分析程序S4,以得到氣體分析結果與攝像分析結果、或是發出警示訊號。當然,在其他實施例中亦可同時進行氣體分析程序S1與影像分析程序S4,或是先進行影像分析程序S4再進行氣體分析程序S1。之後可進行自動歸位充電程序S5以避免電力不足情況。As shown in FIG. 10 , the ground-based self-propelled
