Catenary Detection

Menu: Analyze / Catenary Detection

The Catenary Detection tool is designed to automatically and semi-automatically detect and vectorize:
✔ Power lines and poles
✔ Spans between two poles
✔ Vegetation interference with power lines (clash detection)
✔ Clearance distance reports (distance to the ground)

1. Key Functionalities

Automatic & Semi-Automatic Detection

• Detects and vectorizes overhead power lines and poles from the point cloud.

• Identifies spans between two poles, helping with infrastructure analysis.

Clash Detection (Vegetation Interference)

• Analyzes vegetation encroachment into power lines.

• Helps assess clearance violations that may pose safety hazards.

Clearance Distance Reports

• Measures the distance between power lines and the ground.

• Generates detailed reports to ensure compliance with safety regulations.

2. Generating Reports

A .PDF report can be created, containing:
✔ Vectorized power lines and poles
✔ Clash detection results (vegetation interference)
✔ Clearance distance measurements

This helps in powerline inspection, vegetation management, and infrastructure planning.

The Catenary Detection module consists of four main tabs: Poles, Lines, Spans, and Line Clearance. These tools allow you to detect, vectorize, and analyze catenary power lines and their surrounding environment efficiently.
