A commercial version of the "Kontur" unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for infrastructure security will be created at the Center for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles of the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI). This was reported by the university's press service.
Domestic software has been developed for the new drone. It features a simple interface.
With its help, the user can plot a flight path by marking control points, control the camera and spotlight, turn on the loudspeaker, track the drone's location and the remaining battery charge.
The "Kontur" will be able to monitor the situation not only with the built-in camera, but will also receive information from stationary cameras at the site. The software is capable of processing data from 30 video recording devices simultaneously.
All information is transmitted from the UAV to the server. The data is then processed using AI-based software, including 16 neural networks.
We didn't just train the neural network to recognize objects such as people, cars, and forgotten items. The neural network was trained on images of fights and fires, taken both from stationary cameras and from the air.
The developers plan to equip the drone's camera with optical filters. This approach will ensure automatic landing of the UAV even in bright sunlight.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that MAI developed a "talking" security drone "Kontur".
