00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,520
In this video, we'll take a look
 at how you can use your drone

2
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:17,680
for different clients  and uncover some of the lesser
 known uses for our UAV's.

3
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,120
We all know drones with
 cameras are a great tools for filmmaking

4
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,800
and photography. But what else can we do
 with additional equipment?

5
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,400
After all, drones are absolutely packed
 with technology and multiple sensors.

6
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,360
Drones can carry
 sensing equipment to assist

7
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,960
with any number of different functions.

8
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:42,160
Things such as geological surveying,
 agriculture, archeology and several other

9
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:46,240
industries can benefit
 hugely from this technology.

10
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,600
First of all, drones can use lidar
 to measure the height of crops

11
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,960
lidar is a remote sensing technology
 that measures distance

12
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,280
by illuminitaing objects with a laser,
 which is near infrared or UV

13
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,960
and then that measures
 what light is reflected back.

14
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,080
Heat sensors can detect the temperature
 of livestock, the presence of water, water

15
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,160
temperature and for surveillance
 and emergency responses.

16
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,280
The same heat or infrared sensors
 on the enterprise drone

17
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,520
can also be used for search
 and rescue missions.

18
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,880
Multispectral instruments can count plants
 or crop density,

19
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,920
check the health of plants
 and even assess water quality.

20
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,680
Technology such as visual spectrum sensors
 make it possible to survey and map land.

21
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,080
This is useful for farmers
 and people in the agricultural industry.

22
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,440
Biological sensors
 can be used to take air quality readings

23
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:45,400
and check for the presence of specific
 microorganisms and organic compounds.

24
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,720
As mentioned with the enterprise drone, 

25
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,280
the magnitude of sensors
 that can be packed into this

26
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,080
device can be used
 to help locate and save life.

27
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,400
It can also be used to gather and deliver
 medical equipment and samples,

28
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:05,200
different supplies and medicines
 to remote or otherwise unreachable areas.

29
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:10,600
Drones have made it possible  to survey land and gather information
 at different job sites.

30
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,680
Realtors, developers
 and builders have also begun using drones

31
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,520
to gather video and imagery for home
 and building inspections,

32
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:24,600
as well as different marketing materials  to help assist with the overall
 selling process.

33
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,760
Commercial uses are now coming into play
 by retailers to deliver their goods

34
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,680
as part of the standard practice.  While some may maybe a couple of years 

35
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:39,120
away from full implementation, companies
 such as Amazon, Ørsted and Wal-Mart

36
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,560
have used drones to deliver packages
 to customers and to their internal events.

37
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,120
Another recent use for drones
 is for conservation.

38
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,200
Companies across the globe are using them

39
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,600
to plant trees on a larger scale
 than ever known before.

40
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,000
Using a fleet of drones. 

41
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,400
They aim to plant millions of trees
 in unpopulated areas

42
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,440
to help maintain
 a healthy and green planet.

43
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,160
Light shows are something
 that we have seen that large scale events

44
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:10,440
such as the Olympics and at New Year's
 festivals, which commonly used fireworks.

45
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,760
This is achieved
 by using a large number of drones

46
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,840
that are all synchronized together
 and choreographed

47
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,360
to showcase various formations.

48
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,400
Almost any image can be recreated

49
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,880
by a program that turns graphics
 into flight commands,

50
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,120
which then communicates
 to the drones in the air.

51
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,040
So to summarize,
 drones are not only a great video

52
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,440
and photography tool 

53
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:39,320
that can be used in agriculture, realty
 commercial, technology and entertainment.

54
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,040
But most importantly,
 and most impressively of all,

55
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,320
the helping us achieve a greener planet.
