Optical Cameras

Payloads like the DJI Zenmuse H20 or Zenmuse P1 capture very high resolution images in the visible spectrum.  In other words, they capture traditional photos and videos.  But these are more certainly not your average drone cameras for taking selfies and vacation videos.  Each payload carried utilizes highly sophisticated drone mapping technology and precise gps coordinate data that is shared with the airframe.  When paired with the M300 drone, these payloads are able to capture data that can be used for a variety of specialty use cases.

The P1 is a full frame camera specifically designed for drone photogrammetry. Photogrammetry is the process of gathering numerous aerial photographs of a subject and transforming them into high-resolution 2D or 3D models from which precise measurements may be deduced. This can be accomplished with specialized drone mapping software used for image processing that finds common features in images and combines them to construct a photo mosaic that accurately depicts a place.

Orthomosaic Mapping

Using different photogrammetry software can result in different outputs from the aerial data and images captured, such as orthomosaic maps, 3D point cloud models, and Digital Surface Models.

Photogrammetry can also be used to accurate volumetric measurement, allowing for data analysis of the resulting 3D map, which provides a very accurate model from which measurements of materials and supplies can be easily made.

The H20 is a high resolution 20 MP camera that offers an incredible 23x hybrid optical zoom with active image stabilization and EIS- perfect for drone inspection uses where you need detailed imagery but can't get too close to the subject.  With a 1200m laser rangefinder, night scene mode and an IP44 rating, the H20 is a powerhouse tool for professional drone operations.

Thermal Sensors

Thermal sensors differ from optical sensors by capturing infrared radiation (heat) instead of visible light. Thermal cameras with radiometric capabilities can measure exact temperatures, making them essential for industrial inspections. They detect issues like insulation gaps, leaks, or corrosion in buildings and roofs, and thermal drones excel at identifying solar panel anomalies.

Thermal images can be customized using various color palettes, such as “hot white” (hot areas in white, cool areas in black) or “rainbow” (hot areas in red/yellow, cool in blue/black). For combined optical and thermal imaging, EO/IR solutions integrate visible and thermal sensors, useful for precise inspections.

Key thermal payloads include the DJI H20T (with a radiometric thermal camera), Mavic 3 Enterprise Series, Autel EVO II Enterprise 640T, and FLIR Vue TZ20-R. The TZ20-R offers dual thermal sensors with different focal lengths, enabling 20x zoom with greater clarity and four times more thermal pixels than competitors.

LiDAR

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) has become more accessible with the rise of drone surveying and inspections. It uses laser pulses to measure distances, combined with inertial and satellite data to pinpoint locations in space, creating highly accurate 3D point clouds. These can capture fine details like cables and penetrate foliage for detailed terrain models, even in low light.


LiDAR point clouds are smaller and faster to process than photogrammetry data, making them ideal for efficient mapping projects. The DJI L1 offers a compact, affordable LiDAR + RGB solution for the M300, integrating a Livox LiDAR module, high-accuracy IMU, and 1-inch CMOS RGB camera. Paired with the P1 or Phantom 4 RTK, it supports photogrammetry, LiDAR, and PPK, enabling versatile aerial surveying and digital twin creation.

Additional Drone Applications for the Construction, Inspection and Survey Industries

Sophisticated drone construction surveying solutions exist that can provide users with a large range of data over surveyed areas. Builders can create virtual environments with scanned information taken by drones. Geotagging photos and videos through mapping software allows the creation of highly accurate 3D maps and/or cloud points.

This wealth of detailed information allows construction and inspection teams the flexibility to observe and manage large areas with efficiency and an added layer of safety.
