DJI and DroneDeploy Collaborate to Enhance Thermal Mapping
United
States: World’s leading
maker of drones and camera technology DJI, and the leading cloud software
platform for commercial drones DroneDeploy have announced thermal mapping
solution at the Intersolar North America 2016. These companies have united to
increase the effectiveness of the inspection and solar panel installation
through drone thermal imagery capture and analytics.
According to Ryan Tong, Director of
marketing at DJI, the company is excited to partner with DroneDeploy to get
more out of their DJI drones. He further stated that as the roof inspection has
not changed during the last decade, introduction of safe and accurate drone
based 3D models to replace survey wheels and measuring tapes is a great
achievement of the industry as well as company.
According to the recent report published
by TechSci Research, “Global
Commercial Drone Market By Drone Type (Rotary Blade Drone, Fix
Wing Drone, Hybrid Drone & Nano Drone), By Application (Mapping, Surveying
& Photography, Precision Agriculture, etc.), By Region, Competition Forecast
& Opportunities, 2015 - 2021”,
the global market for commercial drone is projected to grow at a CAGR of over
27% during 2016-2021. In 2015, North America and Europe cumulatively accounted
for a market share of more than 60% in the global commercial drone market. With
US being the largest market for commercial drones, the civil aviation body of
the US, Federal Aviation Administration, has constantly been making amendments
in policies and regulations for use of commercial drones in the country. Moreover,
frequent modifications in the regulatory policies by European Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA) over the last few years has also been positively influencing the
drone industry.
Techsci Research believes that this
partnership between DJI and DroneDeploy is another advancement in the
commercial drone technology, which is poised to open up a new era of
opportunities for businesses and government organizations looking to use drone
for their work.
