AI power for Smarter Operations

Relay Mode – Extended Range for Enhanced Coverage

The Relay Mode of the D-RTK 3 is designed to extend operational range by positioning the station in an elevated location, ensuring stronger signals between drones, controllers, and relay stations. This is particularly useful for:

  • Urban environments where buildings may cause signal obstructions.
  • Remote areas with mountainous terrains or deep valleys.

.

Excel In Low-Light Environments

The Matrice 4 series excels in low-light conditions with upgraded Night Scene Mode, offering full-color night vision in three modes and enhanced noise reduction. Equipped with an IR Cut Filter and NIR auxiliary light, it ensures clear visibility, making search and rescue subjects easily detectable. The Matrice 4T’s NIR illumination extends lighting up to 100 meters, ideal for wildlife protection. It supports infrared High-Res Mode at 1280 × 1024 resolution, revealing fine temperature details. Six high-definition low-light fisheye lenses enhance positioning and obstacle avoidance for safe urban navigation.

Improved Night Capability

Precision Mapping for Surveying and Construction

The Matrice 4E enhances geospatial mapping with rapid 0.5-second interval shooting and speeds up to 21 meters per second. Its wide-angle camera supports orthophoto and oblique modes, while 5-directional oblique and 3-directional ortho capture maximize area coverage. It also enables Smart 3D Capture, allowing users to create rough models on the remote controller and generate precise mapping routes for detailed measurements of irregular buildings. It also displays virtual space routes and waypoint photos, enhancing flight safety assessment and coverage area analysis.
