Find the right camera for drones
Every drone application has its individual requirements. We know how to help you to find the best camera solution for your application.
In no other industry the reliability and security of machine vision systems do play a more pivotal role than in the sensitive landscape of drone technology. Operational capabilities and mission success highly depend on the quality and stability of the technologies used.
Cameras for vehicles such as unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are subject to space constraints and rough use. They not only have to be small, light, and power efficient, but they must also operate reliably under harsh conditions.
Specific requirements for cameras
The unique constraints of drone platforms pose significant challenges for machine vision camera systems. Each application has specific requirements and demands different technical solutions.
Small size and light weight are essential to minimize the overall payload and ensure efficient
drone operation.Low power consumption is critical to prolong flight times and reduce the need for frequent recharging or battery replacement.
Rugged hardware is also necessary to withstand the harsh environmental conditions and physical stresses associated with drone flights.
From a performance perspective, low-latency and high bandwidth are vital for real-time video processing and transmission, enabling drones to respond quickly to changing situations and transmit high-quality video feeds for remote monitoring and analysis.
Many systems require longer distance between processor and camera.
