Real-world results
Thermal Drone Patrols in Kruger National Park. Rangers in Kruger National Park used infrared-equipped drones to monitor poaching trails at night, when most poaching occurs. During one month of monitoring a single trail, 55 intruders were detected, leading to a measurable decrease in poaching activity and attacks on animals.
Stockpile Volumetric Surveying at Njuli Quarry. A comparative study at Njuli quarry pitted a DJI UAV against a Leica total station for measuring gravel stockpiles. The drone-based method achieved an RMSE of 0.019 and was found to be the most accurate, safest and fastest for mapping large areas, recommended for routine stockpile volume estimation.
