(1) aerial photography
With the rapid development of civil drones, more and more drones appear in advertisements, movies, wedding videos and so on. More than two-thirds of the footage of the documentary "Flying over Shanxi" was completed by aerial photography, and many shots were taken by drones. At the end of 20 14, at the second China Film Festival in London, England, Flying over Shanxi won the special award for best aerial documentary and the best aerial photography award. During the shooting process, nearly 300 shooting points were planned and executed by drones, and many close-ups were completed by drones, which produced unexpected and excellent results.
(2) Power supply inspection
2065438+On April 9, 2005, the power transmission and transformation maintenance room of Jinan Power Supply Company and Shandong Electric Power Research Institute conducted unmanned aerial vehicle inspection on Siji Yellow River Tower. UAV patrol has the advantages of unlimited height, flexible patrol, convenient photography and comprehensive angle, which is especially suitable for the patrol of long-span towers and makes up for the shortage of manual patrol.
(3) News reports
CNN has obtained a license from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to test drones equipped with cameras for news reporting. As early as 20 13, during the Lushan earthquake relief, CCTV News used the drone independently developed by Shenzhen Yidian Technology Co., Ltd. to shoot aerial video of the disaster area. Where disaster relief personnel can't reach, drones can easily cross. While monitoring secondary disasters such as mountains and rivers, the infrared imager can also be used to search for trapped people in the air.
(4) Protection of wild animals
Organizations such as the Shadow Vision Foundation, a Dutch non-profit organization, are using modified drones to provide key data for the protection of endangered species, and their aircraft have been widely used in Africa. Improved drones can also be used for anti-poaching patrols. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, a British nature charity, has also applied more and more drones to the protection of birds and natural habitats.
(5) Environmental monitoring
Recently, the Ministry of Environmental Protection organized a 10 inspection team to carry out special law enforcement inspections on air pollution prevention and control in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei and surrounding areas, and arranged for drones to conduct flight inspections in key areas. UAV is used more and more frequently in air pollution law enforcement. From 20 13 to 1 1, the environmental protection department began to directly check the operation of sewage and desulfurization facilities in key enterprises such as steel, coking and electric power. Since 20 14, many provinces have used drones to carry out law enforcement inspections on air pollution prevention and control in order to achieve more in-place supervision.
(6) Express delivery
On February 6, 20 15, Alibaba launched a three-day drone delivery service test in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and used drones to express boxed ginger tea to customers. These drones will not fly directly to the customer's door, but to the logistics site. The delivery of the "last mile" is still the responsibility of the courier. Abroad, Amazon has UAV test centers in the United States and Britain. Last year, Amazon said that its goal was to use drones to deliver packages to millions of customers, and customers can wait up to half an hour after placing an order.
(7) Providing network services
As early as 20 14, Google acquired the drone company Titan Aerospace. At present, the drones Solara 50 and 60 have been successfully developed and tested. By absorbing solar energy to supplement kinetic energy, you can sail in low earth orbit for five years without landing. Titan said that its high-altitude drones can provide network access services up to 1GB per second through special equipment. Facebook also acquired Ascenta, a drone manufacturer, and established a connection lab to develop their own Internet connection technologies, including satellites and drones.
(8) Create romance
Wang Feng proposed to Zhang Ziyi to send a ring with a drone, which quickly made headlines in the entertainment pages of major media. At the same time, the technology product of drone also entered the public's field of vision. Previously, Taobao delivered the test water drone, which also attracted the attention of many users. This drone immediately made headlines in major media entertainment editions.
