利用红外传感器测试高高度气球,以探测、跟踪和可能防止野火。 Colorado startup Urban Sky tests high-altitude balloons with infrared sensors to detect, track, and potentially prevent wildfires.
科罗拉多州的初创公司Urban Sky正在测试高空气球, 以检测,追踪和潜在地预防野火. Colorado-based startup Urban Sky tests high-altitude balloons for detecting, tracking, and potentially preventing wildfires. 这些气球配有红外传感器,能够捕捉高分辨率图像和地面温度数据,为潜在的火灾爆发创造“风险分数”。 Equipped with infrared sensors, the balloons capture high-resolution images and ground temperature data, creating a "risk score" for potential fire outbreaks. 气球比无人驾驶飞机或卫星的扫描率更快,其价格更便宜、更小、更轻,通过卫星链路将数据传送到地面计算机,帮助优先为消防工作分配资源。 With faster scanning rates than drones or satellites, the balloons are cheaper, smaller, and lighter, transmitting data to ground computers via satellite link to help prioritize resource allocation for firefighting efforts.
