Tilt Module

The F200 tilt module features a unique dual-camera design that combines intelligent route planning with high-quality side-texture acquisition and high-efficiency operations. The F200 tilt system is 10 times more efficient than traditional multi-rotor tilt drones, primarily targeting wide-ranging engineering projects.

1. Module Parameters

Camera Model: SONY QX1*2

Sensor Size: 23.2*15.4

Effective Pixels: 20.1 million (5456*3632)*2

Lens Parameters: 20mm Fixed Focus (Custom Lens)

Lens Angle: Left 38° Left Tilt; Right 25° Backward Tilt

Acquisition Resolution: Better Than 3.5cm

2. Route Design

The Drone Butler's "Smart Route" supports automatic tilt route generation: planning or importing blocks can automatically fill in target resolution and overlap requirements, generating routes automatically with auto-division and other functions.

Route Design

The F200 tilt route is designed by default for round-trip routes. With its unique dual-camera angle design, the side surface textures of the coverage area can be obtained in a single sub-route. For tasks with lower texture requirements, non-round-trip designs can also be used, doubling data acquisition capacity.

Camera Footprint

3. Custom Lens

The camera lens of the F200 tilt module uses Sony's custom 20mm fixed-focus lens. The lens is set to default infinity focus mode, reducing the difficulty of camera setup and improving focus stability and image acquisition quality.

4. Data Preprocessing

The UAV Butler’s "Intelligent Diagram" has the EXIF write function, which can directly write the high-precision POS data of the F200 to the photo EXIF. After writing, it can be directly imported into software like Context Capture for data processing, effectively reducing data collation and pre-processing work.

Applications

1. Three-Dimensional Modeling Case of the Potala Palace

On November 2, 2016, the Pegasus intelligent aerial survey system F200 successfully captured the tilt data of the Potala Palace. This flight marked the first time in China that a drone was used for aerial photography at the Potala Palace. The data collected were used for the three-dimensional reconstruction of the Potala Palace.

The target area of the Potala Palace covers 0.75km², with a regional height difference of 50m. Using the "Smart Route", a round-trip design was implemented with a ground resolution of 4cm, an overlap of 80%, and a side overlap of 65%. The total route covered 45km and the operation lasted 45 minutes.


Potala Palace Route Design

On the day of the flight, the F200 was originally scheduled to take off from the Potala Palace Square at an altitude of nearly 3,500m. However, after on-site reconnaissance, it was determined that the Potala Palace had a complex environment with many tourists. To ensure flight safety, the take-off and landing plan was adjusted to take off and land on the roof of the Potala Palace tower instead of the square.

Landing at the Potala Palace Square

After approximately 45 minutes of aerial photography, the F200 landed safely. During the flight, a total of 1,904 original images were captured. Using the modeling software Context Capture, the following modeling results were obtained:
