Microdrones Announce Presentation to Introduce Drone That Can Collect Longer Range Data for Industries

[Brianna White]

Drones are becoming commonplace as more industries begin to understand the value that they can drive. Not only can they save companies money but drones also enable improved safety and enhance the efficiency of their operations. As the drone industry has grown over the last few years and the technology has evolved, the use of drones for work has multiplied, as have the number of use cases.
Drones are a powerful tool for remote data collection, and in reality, they can collect any kind of data that we perceive as long as there is a drone-compatible sensor that exists for the collection of that type of data. Current industries include Agriculture, Chemicals, Environmental conservation, Construction, Mining, Delivery/Transportation, Oil & Gas, and Public Safety, to name a few.
The primary types of data that is currently being collected by drones include:

• Visual data - The most common types of data. A drone is used to fly over an area or an object of interest to see what otherwise might not be visible and collect a record of what the camera sees.

• Thermal data/Infrared - Sensors enable drone operators to see temperature data, allowing them to collect radiometric data across vast areas and difficult-to-reach places. Ideal for firefighters to identify hotspots to tackle in a fire.

• Multispectral data - This is data collected by sensors that measure reflected energy within specific electromagnetic spectrum bands.

• Hyperspectral data - Sensors measure energy in a more focused way with multiple bands instead of a singular band used in measuring Multispectral data.
