DJI Elevates Geospatial Data Collection
DJI, a global leader in civilian drones and aerial imaging technology, is thrilled to unveil a suite of upgrades aimed at enhancing its surveying and mapping drone platforms. By improving data accuracy and streamlining workflows, DJI is poised to redefine the standards of the commercial drone industry. The latest advancements were showcased at the renowned InterGeo event, signaling a dedicated effort to solidify DJI’s position as a trailblazer in geospatial data collection.
Dr. Barbara Stelzner, Director of Marketing and Corporate Communication for DJI Europe, articulated the significance of these updates, emphasizing that they represent a pivotal advancement in providing a next-generation geospatial data collection platform. "These enhancements are essential tools and integral drivers of growth for a multitude of service providers and solution developers," she noted.
Elevating Mapping and Surveying Technologies
One of the marquee offerings is the Matrice 210 RTK V2 combined with the Zenmuse X7. This rugged and versatile solution is now robust enough to conduct high-level surveys and produce photogrammetry models with centimeter-level precision. Users can easily plan their flights through the DJI Pilot app and create detailed 2D and 3D reconstructions using DJI Terra.
Speaking of DJI Terra, this comprehensive surveying software has received substantial improvements as well. Users can take advantage of features such as:
- Ground Control Points and Checkpoints: Achieve high-accuracy reconstructions even with drones that do not support RTK.
- Real-Time 3D Visualization: Render and visualize a 3D point cloud on-site for quick decision-making and flight planning.
- Automated Corridor Mission Planning: Users can automate flight missions around roads and railways simply by outlining a line on the map.
- Global Coordinate Systems: Seamless conversion of maps and models into over 8500 global coordinate systems to meet user specifications.
Further enhancing the surveying experience, the Phantom 4 RTK along with GS RTK v2.2 has also received a series of updates, offering a more intuitive user interface and improved flexibility for mission execution. New features include:
- Cloud PPK Service: Direct image uploads and PPK corrections through the GS RTK app enhance user experience.
- Block Segmentation: This feature automatically breaks down large areas into manageable flight missions, optimizing efficiency in mission planning and improving mapping accuracy.
- Absolute Altitude Flight: Ensures consistent mission repeatability across various operators.
- Enhanced Mission Planning Flexibility: Leveraging the D-RTK 2 High Precision GNSS Mobile Station as an RTK rover gives users greater command over their mission parameters.
Strategic Partnership with Delair
In a move to amplify its offerings, DJI has announced a strategic partnership with Delair, a recognized provider of reliable and scalable drone solutions for enterprise applications. Through this collaboration, users will gain access to the delair.ai cloud platform, allowing businesses across different sectors to extract meaningful insights from drone-collected data.
The partnership is highlighted at the 2019 INTERGEO event in Stuttgart, Germany, where both DJI and Delair showcase their integrated solutions. Attendees can visit Booth #C4.052 for DJI and Booth #A3.062 for Delair to experience first-hand the synergy between their drone platforms and the delair.ai ecosystem.
