With all the emphases today on energy conservation and the impact of human activities on the environment, we need efficient tools for monitoring such impacts becomes more important than ever. One of that tools is thermal imaging system. Especially then in cooperation with the drone or UAV.
There are a lot of applications of thermal imaging in the area of environment and agriculture. For instance:
- detect moisture-related problems in roofs [1],
- monitoring and evaluation of water resources [1], [2],
- evaluate energy efficiency problems [1],
- environmental analysis [1],
- lake morphology [1],
- survey populations of several wildlife species [3],
- land coal mine detection [4],
- underground coal mine fire,
- forest fire detection,
- heat budget of soils,
- detecting insect attack diseases,
- water stress,
- salinity stress on vegetation,
- and much more...
Thermal imaging system in combination with personal drone is a very powerful tool that can perform the necessary measurements quickly and significantly cheaper than using a helicopter. That's why Workswell company developed hightech thermal vision system for drones.
In the video, which is shown above, there is a short record of land mine detection. Workswell Thermal Vision Pro with resolution 640x512 px and thermal sensitivity 50 mK is used. Much more videos we will bring in the following blog posts.
As Workswell company, we can offer both: standalone thermal imaging system, thermal imaging system mounted on a gimbal. But we are nothing without our partners, there for we are looking for new partners. So if you are drone entrepreneur and you like Workswell thermal imaging system, we would like to cooperate and offer to customers one of the best thermal imaging system.
Also feel free to follow us on Twitter or FB.
Thank you very much to our partner Vertical Images from photos.
