Revolutionizing Thermal Imaging for a Safer Tomorrow
In an exciting development for the drone industry, DJI has unveiled their latest addition, the Zenmuse XT S, a cutting-edge thermal imaging camera designed specifically for the Matrice 200 Series drones. This innovative camera is equipped with an advanced infrared thermal imaging sensor, which boasts exceptional thermal sensitivity and high-resolution outputs. The Zenmuse XT S empowers users such as firefighters, police officers, and building inspectors to gain critical insights that go beyond the visible spectrum, allowing for rapid decision-making that can save time, resources, and even lives.
Since the introduction of the first integrated thermal drone camera with the Zenmuse XT in 2015, DJI has witnessed a growing demand for thermal imaging solutions in various fields. The Zenmuse XT S aims to democratize access to high-resolution thermal imaging, making it more affordable and accessible than ever before.
Enhancing Operational Efficiency
“By equipping Matrice 200 Series and Matrice 200 Series V2 pilots with the ability to capture thermal data invisible to the naked eye, the Zenmuse XT S introduces drone technology into an array of new applications,” said Christina Zhang, Senior Director of Corporate Strategy at DJI. “The ability to see through smoke or fog, locate individuals in low visibility situations, and identify overheating electrical components can transform operations across various sectors.”
Robust Thermal Imaging Capabilities
The Zenmuse XT S has been engineered to tackle even the most demanding thermal imaging tasks, such as long-distance inspections. Featuring a 19mm lens paired with a 640×512 resolution sensor and a 25Hz refresh rate, this camera also offers 2x and 4x digital zoom capabilities for enhanced detail.
Operators can stream live thermal data directly to their mobile devices using the DJI Pilot app, where they can access a suite of intelligent features designed to extract immediate insights from the gathered thermal information. Key features include:
- Spot Meter: Provides real-time temperature measurements at designated points.
- Area Measurement: Allows users to select an area to retrieve maximum, minimum, and average temperature data.
- Temperature Alarm: Sends notifications when detected temperatures exceed preset thresholds.
- Color Palettes: Offers options to adjust colors applied to thermal data for better clarity.
- Isotherm: Lets users choose how colors are distributed across specific temperature ranges.
The advanced radiometric sensor of the Zenmuse XT S captures temperature data with each image. When these images are stored in R-JPEG file formats, they can be analyzed later using DJI’s Thermal Analysis Tool, allowing users to refine parameters such as emissivity and reflected temperature for more thorough inspection reports.
Compatible with DJI’s leading Matrice 200 Series and Matrice 200 Series V2 drones, the Zenmuse XT S can be seamlessly integrated using the DJI Pilot flight control app.
