DJI has launched its latest enterprise drone series, the DJI Matrice 4E, along with the thermal version, the DJI Matrice 4T. Both models are integrated with powerful AI capabilities that facilitate object, vessel, and vehicle detection and tracking, which are especially useful during search and rescue missions. Another series feature includes measurement with the laser range finder, which supports pinpoints, line drawing, and area calculation, for faster, more efficient missions.
The DJI Matrice 4E has new, upgraded specs and three cameras, including a wide-angle camera, medium tele camera, and tele camera. The wide-angle camera has a 4/3 CMOS sensor, 20MP effective pixels, f/2.8-f/11, and a mechanical shutter. The medium tele camera has a 1/1.3″ CMOS sensor and 48MP effective pixels. The telecamera itself has a 1/1.5″ CMOS sensor and 48MP effective pixels. The laser range finder offers a measurement range of 1800 m (1 Hz), an oblique incidence range of 600 m (1 Hz), a blind zone of 1 m, and a range accuracy of (m): ± (0.2 + 0.0015 × D).
The DJI Matrice 4T has all of those features, plus an infrared thermal camera and a NIR auxiliary light. The infrared thermal camera’s resolution is 640 × 512, f/1.0, has an equivalent focal length of 53 mm, uncooled VOx microbolometer, and supports a high-res mode. The NIR auxiliary light features a 6° field of view, with an illumination distance of 100 m. These features collectively enable the Matrice 4T to perform tasks such as search and rescue, infrastructure inspection, and night-time surveillance with unprecedented efficiency and accuracy.
The M4 series drones are equipped with four intelligent flight modes, Cruise, FlyTo, SmartTrack, and POI. Cruise allows pilots to fly without constantly pressing the control sticks, which is ideal for long flights and missions. FlyTo can automatically adjust speed and height depending on the environment. The SmartTrack mode offers precise positioning and zoom adjustments. Finally, POI supports efficient modeling tasks by offering continuous observation and 3D modeling of buildings while flying through a specific area.
Adding to its robust capabilities, the M4 series offers 5-directional oblique capture—the gimbal intelligently rotates and shoots at multiple angles based on the survey area. In contrast, previous models had to achieve the same by having to conduct multiple flights. With the 3-directional ortho capture, the M4 drones can capture laterally, reducing lateral overlap. Among other powerful capabilities is the ability to smart capture objects in 3D, allowing pilots to capture and create a rough model of structures on the remote controller. This can also help pilots generate precise mapping routes close to a structure’s surface.
To enhance safety during missions, both models feature functions that heighten precise positioning and obstacle detection. The Low-Light Fisheye Omnidirectional Sensing feature provides comprehensive obstacle detection, ensuring safe navigation even in low-light conditions. For precise positioning and flight stability, the M4 drones have a GNSS and Vision Integrated Positioning and Navigation System. Finally, they are equipped with O4 Enterprise Video Transmission, which offers a transmission range exceeding 20 km (about 12 miles), ensuring reliable communication between the drone and the operator. These safety enhancements ensure that the Matrice 4 Series can operate effectively in diverse and challenging environments, providing operators with confidence during critical missions.
The M4 series is an incredible launch from DJI —it features powerful AI along with features and upgrades that are going to impact the efficiency of various jobs across varying use cases. The DJI Matrice 4 Series represents a significant advancement in drone technology, offering intelligent, versatile, and reliable solutions for a wide range of enterprise applications. With its advanced sensor suite, AI capabilities, and enhanced safety features, the Matrice 4T and Matrice 4E are poised to become indispensable tools for professionals in industries ranging from public safety to construction.
