Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Support for Remote Visual Analysis

南阿尔伯塔理工学院（SAIT）正在向NSERC申请应用研究与开发补助金，以推进名为Reach的安全和检查项目的发展，该项目是由鱼鹰信息有限公司开发的一项服务，用于监测工业场所和设施。Reach是一种基于云的安全和检测解决方案，能够同时控制和获取来自数千台设备的图片和视频。Reach从热像仪、基于互联网的安全摄像机和基于modbus的传感器收集这些数据，这些传感器允许连接到同一网络的许多设备之间进行通信。该项目的目标是研究无人机（UAV）技术的结合，通过在其数据采集能力中添加空中移动功能来改进Reach产品。

The Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) is requesting NSERC Applied Research and Development grant funding for a project to advance the development of a security and inspection program called Reach, a service developed by Osprey Informatics Ltd. for the monitoring of industrial sites and facilities. Reach is a cloud-based security and inspection solution capable of controlling and acquiring pictures and video from thousands of devices simultaneously. Reach collects this data from thermal cameras, Internet-based security cameras, and Modbus-based sensors which allow communication among many devices connected to the same network. The goal of this project is to investigate the incorporation of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology to improve the Reach product by adding aerial mobility features to their data-acquisition capabilities.
