The Basics of Thermal Drones

Thermal imaging in small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAVs) or drones has been gaining popularity in recent years. From land assessment in agricultural settings to power line inspection in the utility industry, and from search-and-rescue scenarios to fire inspection and detection, the applications keep growing. 

Recently, the thermal imaging capabilities of DJI drones have been instrumental in helping customers around the globe improve safety and performance. In Argentina, DJI drones were used for thermal inspection. In Belarus, DJI drones were used to extinguish wildfires. In the USA, DJI drones were used to assess structural damage prior to firefighters entering an inflamed building. And in Vietnam, DJI drones were used to search for flood and landslide survivors. These are just a smattering of examples demonstrating how thermal drones are helping enterprises operate more efficiently with less risk.
