美国宇航局和美国地质调查局开发了基于无人机的河流观测系统 (RiOS) 来测量河流流量,用于水资源管理. NASA and USGS developed drone-based River Observing System (RiOS) to measure river flows for water resource management.

美国国家航空航天局和美国地质调查局已经开发了河流观测系统 (RiOS), NASA and USGS have developed the River Observing System (RiOS), a drone equipped with thermal and visible cameras, altitude laser, navigation sensors, and wireless comms. RiOS测量河流流量,提供关于水速和模式的最新信息。 RiOS measures river flows, providing up-to-date info on water speeds and patterns. 在萨克拉门托河试验后,它可以帮助管理水资源,并有可能执行美国航天局的行星飞行任务。 Tested on the Sacramento River, it could help manage water resources and has potential for NASA's planetary missions. 该系统使用公开源码软件,并制作详细的水表层速度地图。 The system uses open-source software and produces detailed maps of water surface velocities.
