Abstract
Industrial Cameras Designed for Mapping and Inspection
Track: UAV's and Mobile Mapping
Authors: John Monti
UAVs equipped with consumer cameras are increasingly popular but ineffective for integration into drone system architectures with mechanical triggers, data transfer over Wi-Fi and limited remote control. Conversely, Sony industrial cameras are specifically being developed for the commercial drone market. New camera models leverage reduced weight, predictable latency, stabilized optical zoom, large format, high-resolution image sensors, and robust camera control for optimized data collection.
