Abstract

A method, an apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium for detecting a wind turbine blade based on drone aerial photography are provided. The method includes: determining first initial three-dimensional position coordinates and a posture of a wind turbine; determining second initial three-dimensional coordinates of a first expected position with respect to a front shooting position of the wind turbine, based on the first initial three-dimensional position coordinates, the posture, and a preset distance; inputting the second initial three-dimensional coordinates of the first expected position into a flight control system of the drone, and controlling the drone to fly to the second initial three-dimensional coordinates based on a GPS system; and controlling the drone to track at least one first key point of blades of the wind turbine, and determining a three-dimensional movement trajectory of the first key point in a camera coordinate system.
