Quantum Systems, a leading provider of mapping drones, has joined forces with Sony to integrate Sony’s ILX-LR1 61-megapixel camera with Quantum’s flagship Trinity Pro drone. This collaboration aims to improve data capture and mapping capabilities for professionals in various industries.
The ILX-LR1 camera, equipped with sensors and Sony’s BIONZ processor, offers rapid data readouts, allowing it to capture up to 3 frames per second. With improved forward overlap, the camera ensures more comprehensive and accurate data collection. Additionally, the camera’s Image ID technology time-stamps each image with native date information, enabling precise image stitching and reducing the risk of data loss through direct geo-referencing.
By pairing the Trinity Pro drone with the ILX-LR1 camera, users can conduct surveys of larger areas at a faster pace. With a flight time of 90 minutes and a flight altitude of 100 meters above ground level, the drone can cover up to 491 hectares. Furthermore, the use of a 1.8 cm per pixel ground sample distance ensures higher data accuracy.
This collaboration between Quantum Systems and Sony is set to revolutionize the mapping and surveying industry by providing professionals with a powerful solution for gathering accurate and detailed data over large areas. With the integration of Sony’s state-of-the-art camera technology and Quantum’s innovative drone platform, users can expect enhanced mapping capabilities and improved efficiency in their operations.
