Based on Intel's leading drone technology and artificial intelligence technology, Intel launched a project around the world with the theme of 'Tech for Good' to help transform the business, even save all things and protect history and culture. .
Save the whale and the ocean
In 2017, Intel teamed up with Parley for the Oceans to launch the SnotBot program to analyze whale health and the marine environment through Intel's artificial intelligence and drone technology to protect the marine system.
The SnotBot was developed by a modified drone to collect the whale's water, nose, and exhaled sound. The water of the whale is rich in biological data, including DNA, pregnancy hormones, viruses, bacteria, and toxins. Researchers Just stay away from the whales and make sure they are not disturbed. The SnotBot device can then pass back the collected samples accurately. Using Intel's advantages in smart interconnect technology, researchers can take data from nothing. Man-machine download to the computing machine, accurate identification and real-time monitoring of the health of whale.
Intel's strengths in artificial intelligence technology have effectively helped researchers to make timely judgments and decisions in emergencies, and to act more quickly on collected data, thus improving the long-term health of marine organisms.
Drone tracking polar bear
Like a whale, the survival of polar bears is also threatened. There are approximately 25,000 polar bears in the world. It is estimated that by 2050, this number will drop by 30%. The polar bear population decays at a fast rate and we have to keep track of all existing polar bears. Quantity and status.
Intel is working with wildlife photographers and environmentalists to use the Intel Falcon 8+ drone device to track polar bears and capture information on polar bear behavior patterns. These technologies make wildlife and environmental scientists safer and more efficient Collect more accurate and reliable data.
What's special about this case is that the polar bear is a white animal. It is difficult to be discovered by the naked eye in day-to-day environments and drifting ice. With drones and thermal imaging cameras, it is easy to find even in snow and ice. Polar bear.
By tracking the behavior of polar bears, such as breeding, feeding, and migratory habits, not only can scientists understand the effects of climate change on the Arctic, but they can also gain insight into the health of the entire planet. Using the Intel Falcon 8+ system to study the progress made by polar bears, Created new research opportunities to support scientific exploration in an unprecedented way.
Drones help maintain the 15th century German cathedral
Intel, together with experts from Bauhaus University Weimar and Kulturstiftung Sachsen-Anhalt from the Saxony-Anhalt Heritage Conservation Foundation, use advanced commercial drone technology to assist in the detection and assessment of the church’s reception. Loss situation. The Intel Falcon 8+ drone provides the cathedral protection team with an economical, innovative approach to visually detect vulnerable and inaccessible building structures without disturbing the surrounding environment. The Gothic cathedral and its artwork are extremely fragile and this technique is particularly important. Several damaged statues require new methods for checking conservation status to reduce the use of traditional methods such as ladders or scaffolding. Potential risk of damage.
UAV mapping aids oil and gas facility management
The aerial modeling and detection achieved by commercial drones brings tremendous advantages to the resource industry, which can improve safety, save time, and reduce survey costs. Australian Airscope*, a detection and asset visualization company, uses Intel Falcon 8+ The machine further expanded these advantages by producing computer-generated 3D models of the overall oil and gas processing facilities in the North West Shelf and the Cooper Basin in Australia, effectively presenting the on-site situation on the site to the board of directors in order to achieve more efficient asset management.
The Intel Falcon 8+ is a multi-rotor drone that can take hundreds of aerial pictures every flight with a pre-programmed flight path. Because the picture taken by the Intel Falcon 8+ drone is accurate, Airscope can Integrate laser scan data into photogrammetry to ensure that the model is accurate enough to apply to detailed engineering design of large infrastructure projects.
Data is driving the earth, and Intel is using data to incite the future of humanity. In countless cases, Intel drones and artificial intelligence technology have extended the reach of humans, allowing humans to observe our planet from an unprecedented perspective. , Using innovative technology to make the experience beyond imagination possible, also allows us to better coexist with other living beings to make technology more human and temperature.
