What Are the Limitations of Drone Aerial Photography?

May 23, 2023

Compared with traditional aerial photography, the low efficiency of UAV aerial photography has become one of the main bottlenecks restricting its development.

One of the reasons for the low efficiency of aerial photography is that the flying platform has a short battery life. Under the conditions of qualified lighting and safe flight, the operation time of a single aerial photography is very limited.

The small size of the sensors carried by drones is also one of the reasons for the low efficiency of aerial photography. Although with the development of electronic technology, UAV payload sensors are also constantly updated, but compared with traditional aerial photography, the gap is still not to be underestimated.

One of the most important reasons for the low efficiency of drone aerial photography is that only one drone can be used for aerial photography in the same shooting area with an area not larger than 100km². At present, UAV flight control systems mostly use single-frequency wireless communication, and do not have the measurement and control technology for simultaneous online flight of multiple UAVs in the same airspace, and cannot realize simultaneous online flight of multiple UAVs in the same airspace. It is difficult to guarantee the efficiency of aerial photography when carrying out aerial photography.
