Anchoring track: Deep cultivation of LiDAR industry applications

Yang Tao, CEO of “Hangwei Wisdom Core”, began to contact the industrial drone industry in early 2017.

He told 36kR: “At that time, neither the design of industrial drones nor the flight control technology of drones were very mature; The type of UAV mission payload is also relatively simple, mainly visible light payload.”

In this immature market, Yang Tao found that Lidar is a promising subdivision track.

In aerial survey flight of industrial UAVs, LiDAR, as the only sensor that can quickly restore the 3D world, can truly restore the 3D scene through fusion algorithm. At the same time, the application of LiDAR UAV is still in its infancy, with greater development opportunities, real-time analysis, auxiliary decision-making functions will be able to meet the needs of pan-mapping, power, emergency and other scenarios.

Based on the above judgments, Yang Tao and the technical backbone of the team began to devote themselves to the development of LiDAR systems, relying on UAV flight platform manufacturers to carry out applications in pan-mapping, electric power and other industries. On the one hand, the Yangtao team has developed from the original single model UAV LiDAR system to a full range of products including short range, medium range and long range, all models are not restricted by UAV model restrictions; On the other hand, the technical team will fully upgrade the self-developed products from hardware to software, and gradually realize domestic substitution to adapt to more industry applications.

“Hangwei Intelligent core” intelligent core NS Lidar system

Yang Tao introduced that the company’s core technical team has been engaged in the research and development of electronic information products for a long time, including military-grade airborne positioning boards based on Beidou high precision, aircraft measurement and control ground stations, etc., thus accumulating positioning technology and inertial navigation integration technology based on Beidou high precision. Through five years of dedicated research on core technologies related to Lidar systems, the R & D team has broken through a number of technical difficulties, so that the self-developed LiDAR system can truly realize real-time data sharing and high precision.

In the reconstruction of the real three-dimensional world, the “Hangwei intelligent core” integrates the multi-source data obtained by Lidar, visible light and other optical instruments, and can realize the fusion display and fusion analysis of multi-source data in the self-developed software, and the entire software system can be integrated into the existing system of customers as a plug-in.

“Unlike other partners, we entered the industry application of drones from the field of electronic information.” In Yang Tao’s view, this has become the basis for the team to achieve differentiated competition with friends.

At present, the whole series of hardware products of “Hangwei Wisdom Core” have realized the data collection capability of air-land-water-interior full scene, and the Earth Survey ground disaster interpretation software is the first professional geological disaster interpretation software in China. At present, “Hangwei Zhixin” has authorized 2 invention patents, has obtained 3 utility models, 9 appearance patents, and 21 software Copyrights.
