Measurement configuration with the DragonSky
The DragonSky system consists of a DJI Matrice 350 RTK drone and a high-precision LiDAR sensor.
While hovering in front of the operating wind turbine’s rotor, the drone enables the LiDAR to capture the geometry of the rotating blades.
Measurements are taken at various distances from the rotor, depending on the turbine type, to ensure optimal and tailored data acquisition.
