When it comes to the newest gadget in the market there
is no denial that UAVs, or unmanned aerial vehicles, top the list. UAVs first
attracted the attention of people at large when the US army used it for targeted
operations to tackle terrorism. UAVs 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 UAV
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 UAV 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 or UAV 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 UAVs at your dispense then you will be able to
move ahead of your competitors.
