Spring Anniversary, New Year's greetings?
Yes, the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, the flavor is getting stronger and stronger, and this sentence will also become a familiar word for people in television programs.
With the development of artificial intelligence technology, the program during the Spring Festival is also getting higher and higher.Either the Spring Festival Evening recording, or the major New Year's TV API filming, high-altitude video to make the program more interesting, more with the year taste.
When it comes to the location of TV shows, the use of drones is unavoidable, and at high altitudes, we record memories of that scene.
UAV new purpose?
With the blessing of intelligent technology, the UAV's use is not so simple as the aerial panorama. Its application is also gradually widening. A relatively new purpose is to use it for tree planting.
This approach to UAV planting was designed by BioCarbon Engineering, a company that was founded in 2014. The tree planting process was carried out by two drones:
1, First, a UAV equipped with GPS and machine vision technology flew from a higher altitude to scan the target area to create a detailed 3D map. The tree planting team calculated the area of the target area based on this map and marked the obstacles As well as planning flight routes at planting;
2, Then, another one UAV carrying 300 species of tree pods will fly at a distance of 2 to 3 meters from the ground and launch these pods into the earth to the ground;
3, After the planting is completed, the planting team can inspect and assess the growth of saplings by following the manipulation of the UAVs.
During tree planting, all the tree species used in the pods are germinated, and the pod is infused with nutrient solution. When the pods are fired into the soil, the pods break down and the nutrient solution enters Soil, to provide part of the tree species nutrients.
The company said it takes less than a second to grow one tree with a drone and one FlyingFighter can control up to six sowing drones, so in theory the planting team can reach a maximum efficiency of 100,000 trees a day Tree species, so planting efficiency rapidly.
We all know that planting can not keep pace because of faster felling or catastrophe, which leads to a gradual decrease in the number of trees and ecological imbalances, and the use of UAVs is faster than manual planting Faster and Lower Costs According to BioCarbon Engineering, previous estimates suggest that the cost they are expected to be conservatively estimated at only 15% of traditional methods of cultivation is higher than that of traditional methods of cultivation.
UAV planting will become a new way to protect the ecological balance?
Although the UAVs are theoretically grown, planting can be done more efficiently and in larger numbers, but in practice, some companies claim that the current high efficiency is not yet achievable.
And can not achieve efficient planting, partly because at present there is not yet enough flying feeders to be set up to make the planting efficiency can not achieve the desired value.On the other hand, because at present, the purchase of high-performance commercial UAV Costs, bad weather, woodland signals may be poor, etc., may affect the efficiency of planting UAV trees.
In the meantime, although UAV planting can replace manual planting more quickly, infrared and thermal sensors can also be used to monitor the growth of trees, but the subsequent maintenance and repair work still needs more manual support for a while. Like BioCarbon Irina Fedorenko, co-founder of Engineering Company, said: "The key part of the ecosystem restoration project is not the planting of trees but the monitoring and management after planting."
Ecological balance is a little damaged, green vegetation is more and more scarce, with more technical support, UAV planting will indeed become a new way to protect the ecological balance in the future .Although the cost, manpower and subsequent artificial Maintenance and other reasons, still can not reach the theoretical value, but I believe as more challenges to unlock the future of the motherland's magnificent green vegetation, UAV planting will become an important trend.
A new era, new methods, UAV planting, will open for you a different green world view!
