Building on its previous achievements with DJI Livestream, Sense Aeronautics utilizes the FlightHub Sync API to introduce new functionalities for operators aiming for centralized control and analytics across various applications.
DJI FlightHub 2: Streamlining Drone Management
DJI FlightHub 2 acts as a cloud-centric command hub for overseeing DJI drone operations in real-time. This versatile platform provides a range of APIs for third-party integrations,making it indispensable for organizations managing large drone fleets. Notable features of FlightHub 2 include:
- Media File Transfers: Streamlined management and sharing of captured media.
- Telemetry and Livestream Access: Real-time data acquisition from drones.
- Mapping and Route Synchronization: Tools for comprehensive operational planning.
- Cross-Platform Notifications: Instant updates to keep teams informed.
These functionalities empower organizations to conduct drone missions remotely, while the integration with Sense Aeronautics adds a vital layer of real-time video analytics to the platform’s existing features.
Effortless Integration: Connecting Sense Aeronautics with FlightHub
The incorporation of Sense Aeronautics’ video analytics with DJI FlightHub 2 is designed for simplicity,requiring no advanced programming skills. The integration process is straightforward and can be completed in a few easy steps:
Steps to Integrate
To connect the cloud-based video analytics platform from Sense Aeronautics with DJI FlightHub 2,follow these steps:
1. Configure FlightHub API
1.1. Log into FlightHub and go to the “My Institution” section.
1.2. Enable API access by creating an organization key.
2. Set Up SenseAPI
Access the integration front page, designed for ease of use without programming knowledge, by following these steps:
Step A: Enter your API key (provided by Sense Aeronautics) in the specified field on the integration front page.
Step B: Input your organization key, wich can be found in the FlightHub API settings.
Step C: After entering your organization key, the page will show available projects. Select a project, then choose the specific drone and camera to be utilized. Click “Start Forwarding” to send the video stream from DJI’s cloud to Sense Aeronautics’ cloud for processing.
Step D: Once stream Forwarding is initiated, a new video source will appear. Click “Start” to commence the video analytics process.
Step E: click “Display” to view the processed video, enhanced with the advanced analytics from Sense Aeronautics.
The Sense API Key and DJI Organization Key will be securely stored in your browser, so steps A and B only need to be completed during the initial setup.
Once configured, these API keys are securely saved, eliminating the need to repeat steps A and B for future sessions.
Connecting Technologies for Streamlined Operations
The integration page from Sense Aeronautics serves as a conduit between DJI’s REST API and Sense’s REST API. This method simplifies what is typically a complex setup, providing FlightHub users with a robust analytics tool with minimal effort. By eliminating the need for custom progress, this solution is accessible to operators seeking accuracy and efficiency in drone operations.
Whether operators utilize the cloud-based FlightHub setup or an on-premises configuration, Sense Aeronautics’ platform guarantees that actionable insights are delivered effectively and reliably.
Broadening Opportunities with On-Premises Solutions
While the current integration emphasizes cloud-based analytics, Sense aeronautics is also working on an on-premises solution for situations where connectivity or data security issues hinder cloud deployment. This upcoming offering will cater to organizations that require localized data processing, ensuring the same high-quality video analytics in secure environments.
By merging DJI’s FlightHub 2 platform with Sense Aeronautics’ complex video analytics, operators acquire a centralized, user-friendly, and highly effective tool for drone operations.
