In recent years, LiDAR technology has emerged as a powerful tool across various industries, revolutionising everything from surveying and mapping to autonomous vehicles and environmental monitoring. But what exactly is LiDAR, and how does it work? This blog dives deep into the world of LiDAR, explaining its underlying principles, different types, and applications, and why […]

Drones have become an integral part of both personal and professional landscapes, offering unparalleled opportunities in photography, surveying, agriculture, and more. As their popularity grows, so does the variety of options available, each with its own price point and set of features. Understanding the costs associated with different types of drones is crucial for potential […]

DJI has launched the Zenmuse H30T, an upgraded version of the flagship Zenmuse H20T. The H30T combines the capabilities of the H20T and DJI’s night vision payload, the H20N, with huge developments in thermal drone quality and zoom. This brings more than double the power and efficiency. Overview DJI Zenmuse H20T The DJI Zenmuse H20T […]

Drones in education have created new learning opportunities among high school and university students to create interactive experiences within STEM learning. Through hands-on activities in coding, robotics, and aviation, drones offer a practical learning experience. Students can learn to program drones and participate in projects like 3D mapping and LiDAR. Why are drones used in […]

Targeted herbicide applications of agricultural inputs help save costs whilst protecting soil health and the environment. Global demand for food is growing bigger but the challenges around agriculture and crop production are growing too. Increased prices of agricultural inputs and the higher need for more sustainable ways of production are posing a modern farming challenge. […]

Crop monitoring and damage assessment with accurate field data helps improve crop production in affected areas and prevents yield loss. Crop damage directly impacts food security, nutrition, livelihoods, and national economies. Climate change and extreme weather conditions have greatly impacted farmers and crop production. What is needed now more than ever is easy access to […]

Precision agriculture means using technology to optimise farming whilst saving resources. For almond orchards, that means optimising yields. Many people around the world like to grow the food they love – be it strawberries on a windowsill or an apple tree in a garden. If you’re a fan of almonds, you have to wait quite […]

Multispectral drones have surged in popularity as businesses and researchers uncover the vast potential of data collection offered by these cameras, capturing invaluable details that are invisible to the naked eye. These advanced systems capture data across multiple light spectrums, unveiling details of in water and on land that can’t be seen with the naked […]

In the modern era of technology, agriculture is no longer just about ploughing fields and sowing seeds. It has evolved into a high-tech industry where advanced tools are being used to optimise productivity and sustainability. One such technology that is making waves in the agricultural sector is multispectral drone imaging. But what exactly is it, […]

The fight against malaria continues to be one of the most devastating challenges, particularly in the world’s most vulnerable communities. Malaria remains a significant cause of mortality and economic burden in Africa, which bears 96% of malaria deaths worldwide and costs £12 billion per year. With this in mind, it’s easy to see why drones […]

Manual Surveys, RGB or Multispectral? The widespread of pests like bark beetle can cause catastrophic damage in forests, thus the importance of its early detection. Manual surveys are costly and limited in the number of acres that can be covered making it hard for foresters to detect and remove the infected trees on time. The […]

How To Use Multispectral Imagery in Agriculture The use of new technologies in agriculture is playing a key role in improving the efficiency of large farming operations and multispectral technology is no exception. The data captured by drone-based multispectral sensors can make operations more efficient by providing information that allows for better use of resources […]
