mission challenge

The coastline is long and manpower inspection is difficult

The monitoring scope covers 25 kilometers of coastline and 500 meters of offshore waters. Traditional manual boat inspections are costly and low in frequency.

Environmental protection departments need monthly image comparisons to identify shoreline encroachment, aquaculture expansion and abnormal areas in water bodies.

solution

DX-X4 + multispectral payload

DX-X4 is equipped with multispectral and visible light cameras, plans routes according to tidal windows, and simultaneously collects 5-band and RGB images.

Thematic maps of NDVI and water body index are generated internally, superimposed and compared with historical images, and changed map spots are marked for on-site verification.
