When a landscape gardener conceives a project, they will draw it out in plan form. The design is made from a bird's eye view that's never been very easy to actually view when it is completed. Drones are set to change all of this and showcase landscape gardening projects to potential clients as they have never been seen before. Using a combination of photography and cinematography, a drone can be deployed simply and cheaply to [...]
Aside from sharing a name, drone scientists are working on other ways that drones can learn from the world of bees. The UK is leading the way in this field with Professor James Marshall of Sheffield University recently presenting their work to the American Association for the Advancement of Science Conference. Aided by a £4.8 million grant from UK Research and Innovation, the researchers are studying bees with a view to reverse engineering their brains to power some [...]
So,the CAA want to Audit my Operation! I have been a certified and approved CAA drone Pilot now for four years and to date have never been subjected to an audit by the CAA, which I have thought was somewhat odd to be honest. Even being a couple of miles away from Gatwick CAA HQ, I had been expecting a visit at some point, but not yet, not even after the Gatwick Drone debacle being on my doorstep! [...]
Drone Media Imaging were delighted to be contracted to carry out a drone thermal inspection of a large solar farm in the South West of England. Thermal inspection of solar farms by drone can be an extremely cost effective way of assessing production efficiency. The previous inspection of this large multi field solar farm had been at ground level and an engineer on foot had spent a week with a hand held inspection device. Drone inspection is quite [...]
Electronic Conspicuity (EC) is one of the hot topics in the drone world right now. Put simply, it's an umbrella term for technology that allows an aircraft's position to be communicated to aircraft and other relevant authorities. As the demands on our airspace increase, EC is seen by many as the key that unlocks safer sharing of this limited resource. There are three main systems currently in operation Mode Sierra (Mode S) - used by large aircraft FLARM [...]
Thermal cameras don't actually detect colour at all as they operate outside of the range of visible light, but the thermal info is recorded and displayed in colour formats to make it easier to interpret. The most common palette is the so-called Iron one where black represents the colder areas through red, orange and yellow the mid-range temperatures and white for the hottest points. Each images also includes a scale with the colours [...]
New technologies seem to be developed at a borderline alarming pace but many of them remain out of reach of anyone but the governments and militaries of the world until popular applications are found and mass production begins. Thermal imaging is one such example. Developed for military use as early as 1958 in order to be able to see targets in the darkness or across the smoke of a battlefield. The first commercially available thermal camera was developed for [...]
You wouldn't normally associate drones with romance - Valentine's Day is normally more of a flowers and chocolates kind of a day - however, there are some ways that drones can be used to spread the message of love. DJI certainly agree as they've tried to capture the spirit of Cupid with one romantic themed blog post encouraging couples to use a drone to "take unique portraits, tell your story and fuel new adventures!". They even suggest that [...]
Vodafone UK have published the findings of a study they commissioned regarding the potential benefits to the UK of safe and secure drone use. Working with WPI Economics, the report uses five case studies as its basis and draws some interesting conclusions regarding it's potential in the UK. Whilst acknowledging the potential of drones to improve productivity, aid the emergency services, and reduce workplace dangers, much emphasis is placed on the public perception of the threat that they [...]
The 27th January saw the second reading of a parliamentary bill which extends the police powers to land or even seize drones by using counter-drone technology. The Air Traffic Management and Unmanned Aircraft Bill aims to improve security around sensitive locations such as prisons and airfields. Of course the power to inspect and confiscate drones will not exist to be arbitrarily applied. Officers will have the powers to carry out these actions is an offence has been committed [...]
