When it comes to the newest gadget in the market there is no
denial that drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles, top the list. They
first attracted the attention of people at large when the US army used
it for targeted operations to tackle terrorism. Drones proved very
useful in searching terrorist camps and destroying them. The main
advantage of using drones in the battlefield is that they do not carry a
pilot. They are totally unmanned and thus there is no loss of life
during the battle if the drone gets shot down by the enemy.
However,
it is not only the military that uses drones for their benefit
nowadays. Even the common man is benefitting from the use of drones as
they are being used in many other fields, such as housing, agriculture
and photography.
Housing: The housing industry
relies on the inspection of house before it can be bought or sold. This
inspection can be carried out by the drone without having anyone to risk
their life for the inspection.
Agriculture:
Today, the big farmers need to keep a constant vigil over their land and
crops. If it has to be done by a human, it will take several days to
get the job done but with a drone this job has become very easy. A drone
can send you pictures from the site that can be processed later on.
Some drones that can even send you live photos and videos of your farm.
Photography: At
present, this is the field where the use of drones is being made the
most. The drones come with high grade cameras and additional
stabilization techniques to capture unmatched photos and videos. Many
photographers have used this technique to master the art of photography
and many people have used these photographers to make their precious
moments last forever.
How Drone Software Processes Data
Drone
software is evolving with each and every passing day. The software has
been designed with such sophistication that today the drone is able to
do many things automatically. Drones are becoming more and more
automated as they can carry out many functions on their own such as:
· Selecting the good shots
· Editing for a better picture
· Taking numerous shots
· Stabilizing in air
· Sending aerial photos and videos through online streaming
This
requires a great level of engineering and intrigues a person about how
drone software processes the data. This question is of great importance
as it enables you to better understand the functioning and thus bring
out more from your drone.
For the fully automated drone the processing of data takes place in three steps:
· Plan
· Fly
· Process
Plan:
You will need to first plan out the area you'll be flying over. Once
you select the area that is to be covered the drone calculates which
path to acquire to complete the job faster. It helps the drone to design
a flight path for the flight.
Fly: When the
drone is in flight it does the work of capturing the right kind of
photos for you. Not only this, the drone is also capable of geo-tagging
the photos, so that you may know which photo belongs to which area. You
may be surprised how the technology has advanced as the takeoff and
landing both have become automated in newer model drones. This has
become possible due to inbuilt features like "return to land".
Process:
Processing involves stitching the photos together. The stitching must
be done in a precise and crisp manner. The pixel size will depend on the
height from which the photo was taken but the most desirable size of
the photograph is the high resolution map with one cm per pixel.
The Result
The result of having advanced software guiding you drone is better images and more accurate data.
There
are drones that can take 2D as well as 3D images and can do the mapping
accordingly. In the 3D movie, you will get all the waypoints that have
just made the drone technology a revolutionary one.
The fully
automated workflow from the beginning till the end will include the
flight, the photography, the tagging and the processing after the photos
have been taken. The flights can be repeated and compared to overlay
data over time.
The images are the data that is to be worked upon.
So, the better the images are, the better the data. Therefore, it is
important that the camera that is used is of good quality and allows for
high resolution imaging.
There are many software programs
advanced enough to help you get the most out of your drone. You may be a
farmer or a photographer or a real estate dealer. If you have drones at
your dispense then you will be able to move ahead of your competitors.
