Parrot, Drone Harmony partner for improved data collection flights

Two European UAV sector leaders have joined forces to permit Drone Harmony’s automated mission software to be used with ANAFI Ai aboard Parrot drones, improving data gathering performance on mapping and inspection flights.

The partnership seeks to further strengthen the mapping, surveying, and inspection work of Parrot’s top-of-the-line, 4G-connected professional drones by using Drone Harmony software to create precise 3D models of target structures in even the most challenging of settings. To demonstrate the power of the linkup, Parrot is planning to unveil a digital twin of an iconic French monument in the next few weeks – a model it says is made up of 45,000 pictures and a billion triangles.

Parrot and Zurich-based Drone Harmony says their common initiative ensures high-quality and safe data collection using onboard ANAFI Ai tech, thereby leveraging the UAVs’ photogrammetry capabilities to capture 48 MP images at one frame per second. The more…
