LiDAR may be coming soon to consumer-level drones
Information on DJI’s upcoming Air 3S has recently appeared on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter), with notable leaker Quadro News sharing videos of the drone flying above a city and providing details on the type of camera it may have.
In his latest info drop, the insider posted an up-close photograph of the device’s front, revealing what could be “significant advancements” coming to the Air 3S.
You may first notice that the two camera lenses are inside bulkier housing, with news site DroneXL stating the extra space suggests the drone is coming “equipped with larger image sensors.” This should allow the Air 3S to take better photographs in low-light environments. Above the cameras pointing out are two Omnidirectional Obstacle sensors, allowing the drone to be more aware of its surroundings.
