What are the main applications of drones?

1. Application field: street view shooting, monitoring and inspection.

Working principle: UAV with camera device is used for large-scale aerial photography to realize bird's eye view.

2. Application field: electric power detection

Working principle: UAV is equipped with high-definition digital camera and GPS positioning system, which can cruise autonomously along the power grid and transmit the captured images in real time, and the monitoring personnel can watch and control them synchronously on the computer.

3. Traffic monitoring

Man-machine participation in urban traffic management can give full play to their respective expertise and advantages, help public security urban traffic control departments to jointly solve traffic problems in large and medium-sized cities, not only ensure the implementation of urban traffic development planning from a macro perspective, but also conduct on-site monitoring and traffic flow control from a micro perspective, build a three-dimensional traffic control system, achieve regional control, ensure smooth traffic, respond to sudden traffic incidents and implement emergency rescue.

4. Application field: environmental protection

Working principle: The application of UAV in the field of environmental protection can be roughly divided into three types. 1. Environmental monitoring: observing the air, soil, vegetation and water quality, and at the same time tracking and monitoring the development of sudden environmental pollution incidents in real time; Second, environmental law enforcement: environmental supervision departments use drones equipped with collection and analysis equipment to cruise in specific areas, monitor the exhaust gas and wastewater emissions of enterprises and factories, and find pollution sources; Third, environmental treatment: using flexible wing UAV with catalyst and meteorological detection device to spray in the air, just like the working principle of UAV spraying pesticides, to eliminate smog in a certain area.

5. Application field: right confirmation

How it works: From the territorial dispute between the two countries to the confirmation of rural land rights, drones can be used for aerial photography.

6. Application field: agricultural insurance

Working principle: The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) integrated with high-definition digital camera, spectrum analyzer and thermal infrared sensor is used to fly on farmland to accurately measure the planting area of the insured plot. The collected data can be used to evaluate the risks and insurance rates of crops and determine the losses of affected farmland. In addition, the drone inspection also realized the monitoring of crops.

7. Application field: express delivery

How it works: The drone can deliver goods below the size of a shoebox package, and the drone can take off just by inputting the GPS address of the recipient into the system.

8. Application field: film and television drama shooting

Working principle: The UAV is equipped with a high-definition camera. Under the condition of wireless remote control, it can shoot from the air under the control of the remote control according to the needs of program shooting.

9. Application field: Post-disaster rescue

Working principle: The unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with high-definition camera is used to take aerial photos of the disaster area and provide the latest first-hand images.

In fact, the application of drones goes far beyond these, such as digital cities, urban planning, land and resources investigation and law enforcement, mineral resources development, forest fire prevention monitoring, flood control and drought relief, environmental monitoring, border monitoring, military reconnaissance and police fire monitoring, and some other special industries that can use drones.

Unmanned aerial vehicle, abbreviated as UAV in English, is an unmanned aerial vehicle which is operated by radio remote control equipment and its own program control device, or operated by airborne computer completely or intermittently. ?

Compared with manned aircraft, drones are often more suitable for tasks that are too "stupid, dirty or dangerous". Uavs can be divided into military and civilian according to their application fields. On the military side, drones are divided into reconnaissance planes and target planes. In terms of civilian use, UAV+industrial application is the real demand of UAV; At present, its application in aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, micro-selfie, express transportation, disaster relief, wildlife observation, infectious disease monitoring, surveying and mapping, news reporting, power inspection, disaster relief, film and television shooting, creating romance and other fields has greatly expanded the use of drones. Developed countries are also actively expanding their industrial applications and developing drone technology.
