\"AR<\/a><\/p>\n

AR has proven its mettle by enabling sophisticated interactions with our real-world environment. The popularity for drone technology, on the other hand, has skyrocketed over the last few years. However, the concept of AR drones seems to be changing the face of both the technologies.<\/p>\n

Applications of AR drones in various sectors<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Drones were initially used for surveillance and for providing visual data. The\u00a0videos recorded,\u00a0however,\u00a0were raw and needed processing to map data onto it. Scientists employed AR to overlay virtual data in real-time. With AR drones, the captured video is automatically processed by AR software to scoop out the relevant information. The final footage received is ready for landscaping and surveillance.<\/p>\n

In disaster response<\/h2>\n

Disaster mitigation, up until now, involved the implementation of drone technology alone. Adding AR software to drones enhances the imaging and video capturing capabilities of a drone.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Rapid Imaging Software equipped a drone with their Smart 3D camera to disclose the information that otherwise goes missing during drone surveillance. For instance, flooded street views showing the depth of water, inflicted damage, and potential hazards can all be captured by the AR video cameras mounted on drones for the disaster management bodies to gain an insight into the affected areas and to deploy appropriate measures. Insitu\u2019s\u00a0ScanEagle<\/a><\/u> drone allows firefighters to not only capture a 24\/7 view of the fire but also helps them with information on trapped people and temperature variations with the help of special thermal cameras and AR.<\/p>\n

In law enforcement<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Bringing AR and drones together has helped police agencies tremendously with law enforcement. Applying the drone footage to AR software can help the law enforcement<\/a><\/u> committees by:<\/p>\n
