Industry pain points:

Traditional unmanned aerial vehicle loads have many pain points in terms of night operation capability, environmental adaptability and data practicability. First, the night mode of traditional unmanned aerial vehicle loads mostly uses infrared thermal imaging or black and white imaging, which cannot truly restore the real color of objects, texture details or low image noise, low definition, and is difficult to meet the requirements of accurate identification. Second, traditional load imaging relies on ideal light environment, in complex environments such as weak light, strong light, backlighting, rainy weather and foggy days, the imaging quality drops sharply and even effective data cannot be collected. Even if the supplementary light is added, the viewing range is limited and it is easy to expose unmanned aerial vehicles, which is not suitable for concealed operation scenes. Third, the daytime mode and nighttime mode of the traditional load are two independent imaging logics. When switching, parameters need to be manually adjusted at the ground station and even the lens, moreover, the format of day and night imaging data is not uniform, which needs to be processed and spliced separately in the later period, thus increasing the time cost of data integration. Fourth, the night imaging of traditional loads lacks details, resulting in the loss of target features. For example, the damage type of the line cannot be judged by infrared thermal map in power inspection, and only abnormal temperature points can be found. In surveying and mapping, archaeology and other scenes, black and white images cannot distinguish the differences between surface vegetation and building materials, the usefulness of the data is greatly reduced, resulting in the accuracy of target recognition, and the value of the data is very limited.

Solution:

In view of the above pain points, the UAV night vision load solution to create a "one machine multi-purpose + multi-technology integration + lightweight design" design ideas, a comprehensive breakthrough in the bottleneck of night operations.

The dark full-color load is based on the self-developed installation full-color algorithm engine, which can realize full-color high-definition imaging at night and directly restore the real information of the scene, which is the core gap that the traditional load cannot match. With large aperture, high sensitivity sensor and dark full-color algorithm engine, the dark full-color load can work in an ultra-low illumination environment of 0.0005lux without supplementary light, and the coverage of the operation scene far exceeds the traditional load, full-color high-definition images can be output day and night, and the data format is unified, which can not only ensure the color reproduction degree of daytime operation, but also realize seamless connection at night, thus greatly improving the operation efficiency. The color picture of dark light full-color load contains rich texture and color information, which can directly support target detection and recognition (such as license plate recognition and defect classification) of AI algorithm, and the data can be directly used for subsequent analysis and decision-making, the value is much higher than the nighttime data of traditional loads.

The fuselage adopts integrated aviation material design, sealing design and low power consumption design, and the endurance after carrying is only shortened by less than 10%, taking into account both maneuverability and endurance. The system is equipped with self-developed dark light imaging technology, and is equipped with visible laser, non-visible laser, laser ranging, infrared thermal imaging and other technologies. Even at night when the moonlight is weak, the target details can be clearly presented, and finally all-weather operation capability can be realized. In addition, the night vision load adopts a common interface design, which is suitable for the mainstream small, medium and large multi-rotor UAVs on the market, supports rapid disassembly and maintenance, and reduces the cost of later use.

User value;

1. Break through the day and night limit and realize all-weather seamless operation

Dark light full-color load can output high-definition full-color images in 0.001lux ultra-low illumination environment (almost no light), without additional light supplement equipment, and directly break through the barrier of "limited operation during the day and night" of unmanned aerial vehicles.

2, improve the practicality of data, enabling AI intelligent analysis.

The color picture output by the dark full-color load contains rich features such as color, texture, contour, etc. Compared with traditional black-and-white/infrared data, it is easier to be identified and analyzed by AI algorithms to realize the closed loop of "data acquisition-intelligent judgment".

3. Reduce operating costs and expand the boundaries of drone applications.

The switching-free and light-free features of the dark full-color load greatly simplify the operation process of the drone, reduce the cost of manpower and equipment, and expand the application scenarios of the drone.

4, enhance concealment, adapt to the needs of special operations.

The dark light full-color load does not need to supplement light, and relies on its own high-sensitivity sensor imaging, which can realize silent night operation, avoid being discovered, and perfectly adapt to the concealment requirements of special operations.
