CAMERA DRONES

A Brief History of Pre-Drone Vintage Aerial

HISTORY Early capsuleers were forced to interface

directly with ship scanners, which were combined to paint a virtual image in the capsuleer's mind. This, however, proved too stressful for most capsuleers, and an alternate solution was sought.

The first surviving aerial photograph is a picture of Boston taken in 1860 from a hot air balloon, from about 690 yards up.

In 1903 a European photographer designed cameras that could be mounted on carrier pigeons.

CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING Adjusting them for capsuleer use was the first priority.

Originally only a single drone was used, but this provided a flat field of vision and meant tight maneuvers relied less on capsuleer skill and reflexes and more on incoming telemetry data from the ship's sensors. This was solved by the addition of a second drone. Working in tandem with each other, these two drones can provide a stereoscopic view and can quickly focus on any object.

DAILY USES:

The most common camera drones are used by capsuleers to allow them a visualization outside their ships. These consist of a pair of cameras in a housing, which are controlled by on board computer systems. They are typically cylindrical in shape, to allow for telescopic views of distant objects. Many have magnetic fins or other protrusions that allow them to be controlled more precisely.

ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY

These drones are smaller than those used on capsuleer ships, typically being about the size of a human head. These drones utilize a weak, heuristic AI that automatically take shots from different angles. The drones automatically select their shots, with different drones tasked with capturing wide angles, close ups, and different performers.

SECURITY AND SURVEILLANCE

Camera drones are used in the security industry to provide guards with mobile eye. They are

tied into sensor systems and, when something suspicious is detected, are deployed in large

numbers and congregate on the location. From there, they can transmit images and video directly back to a central area, providing

security forces with advanced information. Additionally, they can tail fleeing intruders a

great distance, making it much simpler to track and subdue them. Because of their

maneuverability, speed, and numbers they are difficult to disable or shake.
