Advancements in computer vision and the integration of advanced AI-powered computer vision algorithms have substantially widened the range of tasks that drones can perform, making them more versatile and capable than ever before.
Utilizing cutting-edge advancements in computer vision, UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), also known as drones, now have the ability to interpret meaningful data from the images they capture. This has given rise to innovative features such as automated mapping, collection of sensory data, object and individual identification, and analysis of movement.
The Symbiosis of AI and Drones
Drones and AI form a synergistic relationship where each technology amplifies the capabilities of the other. Drones provide the mobility and flexibility needed for a variety of tasks, while AI contributes the computational intelligence required for complex decision-making and analytics.
No longer just toys or simple gadgets, drones have evolved into highly advanced machines capable of performing a variety of tasks ranging from surveillance to agricultural monitoring. For instance, drones outfitted with Vision Processing Units can be directed to capture close-up images from specific angles. When combined with AI technology, these drones can aid in identifying structural damage in buildings. Neural computer chips enable the execution of deep-learning calculations and image recognition locally, eliminating the need for an internet connection while the drones are in flight.
Autonomous Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)
Autonomous Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are a subset of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) that operate without the need for human intervention. Unlike manually piloted or remotely controlled drones, autonomous UAS have the ability to perform tasks, navigate, and make decisions on their own, often based on pre-programmed parameters or real-time data analysis.
