SWaP is an acronym for size, weight and power. This concept is very important to developing new products, devices, platforms, etc. It is a main goal in the development for projects addressing modes of conveyance. One is always looking to make it smaller, consume the smallest amount of available resources as possible, and improve upon
Enterprise UAS, parent company to DroneFly, DSLR Pros (Drones, Software, Learning and Repairs for the Pros), and Aerial MediaPros.com, is the exclusive distributor of the Teledyne FLIR SIRAS™ drone. It is a mid-size commercial drone that has a Vue® radiometric thermal and visible camera for its payload. Teledyne has kept data security in mind when
This is the section of the light spectrum that have wavelengths in the range of 680 nm – 730 nm. It is in the area where red wavelengths have low reflection on green vegetation and near infrared wavelengths which have high reflection. It is useful to use sensors that can record this part of the
A CMOS sensor is the optical technology that is used to create images in all types of digital cameras. They can also be found in telescopes, scanners, and barcode readers. This type of technology is used in machine vision, optical character recognition (OCR), satellite image processing, and refining radar imagery. Learn More
The control center is situated on the ground. It supplies the means for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) during its flight. It functions as a “virtual cockpit”. It displays the same type of instruments that one might find in a manned cockpit. Learn More
MavSDK is not drone or brand specific and it is built on the Pixhawk Standard which was developed by Pixhawk Special Interest Group (orchestrated by the Dronecode Foundation). They developed it so there would be an open source library support for Mavlink based drones. You can find Readme files, code and downloads about the Pixhawk
This is a measurement used in photogrammetry and survey/mapping returns from drone survey missions. GSD is the distance between two adjacent pixels and is measured from the center of one pixel to the center of the adjacent pixel. It is correlated to the camera focal length, the resolution of the sensor, and the distance between
Machine learning is a discipline considered to be a part of artificial intelligence. It focuses on making improvements upon different tasks by capitalizing on data that is collected while performing such tasks; thus the learning that occurs as the data is collected and applied to new method algorithms that will increase performance. The machine learning
This sensor couples a resolution radiometric (640×512) Boson® thermal sensor with a 64MP RGB (visible) sensor in one model. It has a size, weight, and power (SWaP) design that inceases its desirability for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that have a need for good battery life and run time. This is a Longwave infrared (LWIR) thermal
RGB (Red, Green, Blue) refers to the part of the electromagnetic energy spectrum that can be seen by the human eye. It is just one section of energy wavelengths that are part of a larger group that in toto make up light i.e. the light spectrum. At one end of this section where the wavelengths
