At present, the safety inspection of tower cranes still basically adopts the traditional manualoperation mode, which has the problems of long detection time, high intensity and high risk. Based onthe DJI MSDK development kit and Java / Kotlin programming, an intelligent inspection APP for towercranes is designed to realize the automatic flight and shooting of tower cranes by drones, and to obtaintower cranes quickly, accurately and conveniently. Relevant image data to determine the safety hazards oftower cranes. This method can greatly improve the efficiency and quality of tower crane inspection. It canbe seen from the field test results that it takes about 0. 5h for the UAV to collect the image of the safetyhazards of the tower crane. UAV intelligent inspection can preliminarily identify most types of hiddendangers of tower cranes. There are a small number of two types of hidden dangers that cannot be judgedby UAV inspection.
