UAV has low cost, no risk of casualties, good mobility, good safety, wide application, can perform low-altitude flight with low visibility and low clouds, but also can increase the daily flying time, speed up the operation progress, therefore, UAV-based infrared thermal imager has been developed rapidly in recent years.

The UAV can be equipped with infrared thermal imager and visible light camera for aerial photography. By receiving the infrared ray from the measured object itself, the thermal imager imaging processing the temperature distribution of the measured object, providing more information than the visible light camera. It can be used for equipment inspection, night vision tracking, search and rescue, agriculture, forestry, husbandry and fishery, etc. For example, the forestry department uses UAV-borne infrared thermal imager to monitor forest fire prevention and timely find high temperature inflammable point; In the environmental protection industry, since the temperature of industrial sewage is higher than that of river water, the environmental protection department adopts unmanned aerial vehicle to carry thermal imager, so that the discharge of sewage can be directly found at day and night. In agriculture, thermal imaging is used to measure ground and crop temperatures, irrigation, and so on. The following are some application scenarios of Yoseen Infrared thermal imager carried by UAV:

1. Power Grid Patrol Inspection by UAV Load Thermal Camera

Infrared thermal imaging can be used to find abnormal hot areas that cause electrical and mechanical failures. The traditional manual electric power inspection method is inefficient, while the thermal imaging instrument carried by UAV has achieved electronic, information and intelligence. It can shoot from an angle of 360° within a range of 10-30 meters from the wire and send the image back to the ground receiving station in real time. At the same time, it can realize local storage at the camera end. Thermal imager can quickly find the abnormal temperature in the circuit and save the corresponding infrared pictures and video data, inform the relevant maintenance personnel to repair in time. It not only improves the work efficiency of power line inspection and greatly reduces the work load of power service personnel, but also reduces the possibility of personnel danger and maintenance cost of power equipment, and improves the safety and reliability of power grid.

2. Photovoltaic Power Station Solar Cell Detection by UAV Load Thermal Camera

In the field of photovoltaic power generation, the UAV is equipped with infrared thermal imager to detect abnormal hotspots from tens of thousands of solar cell modules. Compared with staff using measuring instruments to check modules one by one, it can not only greatly reduce labor costs, but also greatly reduce detection omissions caused by staff fatigue and improve monitoring efficiency. Yoseen Infrared can also provide infrared and visible light modules, equipped with GPS positioning, more intuitive location of fault points.

3. Survey of Construction Site by UAV Load Thermal Camera

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is used to carry thermal imager to take pictures of construction sites, which can provide customers with large-scale construction detection services. In the infrared images taken, the pipeline lines in the construction sites can be clearly seen, and the leakage of laid pipelines can be detected. Detect defects in the external walls of the building; Inspect hvAC system and electrical system for failure.

In the above applications, the infrared thermal imager carried by the UAV does not need any light. It has the real night vision function and can penetrate thick smoke, haze and other harsh environments. The visible distance is several kilometers, and it can operate normally during the day and night.

YOSEEN M Series is designed for micro UAV patrol application, light weight, accurate temperature measurement, support global temperature high speed recording.
