Surveying, mapping, and construction are just a few of the enterprise industries in which the DJI Matrice 4E Drone with 1-Year Care Enterprise Plus is designed to excel. At the core of the drone’s abilities is a three-camera system with a laser rangefinder. Specifically, the system is made up of wide-angle, medium telephoto, and standard telephoto lenses. As it flies, a variety of smart features makes piloting easier with robust subject tracking and automated flight. In addition to standard drone operation, the large apertures, full-color night vision, and more help to make the Matrice 4E an ideal solution for low-light and night flying. Whatever the mission, omnidirectional obstacle avoidance and other features ensure safe, worry-free operation.
Multicamera System
Imaging, mapping, 3D modeling, and more can be done by the multicamera system that’s part of the Matrice 4E’s 3-axis gimbal. You get 20MP wide-angle, 48MP medium telephoto, and 48MP telephoto lenses with up to 112x hybrid zoom (16x optical).
Laser Rangefinder
With a range of up to 1.1 miles, the integrated laser rangefinder is a useful tool for measuring the distance between the drone and specific objects and calculating an entire area. Distant objects can be measured via pinpoint or line drawing, while area calculation utilizes observation range recording. Using DJI Pilot 2 software, the center of a camera frame is highlighted, along with observed areas. This can help to see which areas have already been covered during a search. These precise measurements are done in real time and can be shared with other personnel for collaboration using a DJI Pilot QR code or through DJI FlightHub 2.
Intelligent Flight Modes
- Cruise: This mode makes it easier to fly over long distances. Like the cruise control in your car, set this to have the drone fly forward without having to press on the control sticks.
- FlyTo: Specify a location, and the Matrice 4E will automatically adjust its flight path and speed to reach the target.
- Smart Track: Switch between precisely tracking multiple subjects with automatic zoom to keep them in frame. Subjects can even be reacquired if briefly obscured.
- POI: Select a point of interest to have the Matrice 4E fly around while continuously observing and 3D modeling buildings in the area.
Surveying
The Matrice 4E is ideally suited for enterprise surveying and mapping operations. The wide-angle lens can capture images in rapid 0.5-second intervals, using orthophoto and oblique modes to accurately map an area, all while flying up to 47 mph. Under 3-directional orthophoto capture, lateral image capture is done while performing ortho-collection tasks to reduce lateral overlap. This allows for mapping of an area of up to 1.08 sq miles. Under 5-directional oblique capture, the gimbal intelligently rotates to shoot at multiple angles based on the area size. This makes a single flight much more efficient. Additional features and reporting further help to optimize surveying and model mapping.
- Smart 3D Capture: Capture and create rough models of structures right on the remote controller screen. From this, more precise mapping routes can be created to get closer and capture more detail. This feature will also display virtual routers and waypoint photos to assess flight safety and the coverage area.
- Distortion Correction 2.0: The wide-angle camera is factory calibrated to work with DJI Terra for accurate model reconstruction. This feature delivers precise in-camera distortion correction, leaving residual distortion of less than two pixels.
- Auto-Generated Surveying Operation Report: Use DJI Pilot 2 to automatically generate a survey quality report after a mission. You’ll get key information, such as photo points, RTK status, and photo parameters. With this immediate information, you can address any anomaly on the same trip by taking additional photos.
Low-Light Flying
For certain enterprise missions, such as search and rescue, locating subjects from dusk to night can be difficult. This is why the Matrice 4E’s camera system has large apertures to improve low-light imaging, in addition to DJI’s Night Scene mode. Equipped with an IR Cut filter, this mode provides full-color night vision with three modes and two levels of noise reduction to boost quality even further. As you fly, six HD low-light fisheye vision sensors provide automatic obstacle avoidance, intelligent rerouting, and safe returns to home to maximize mission success.
Long-Range Transmission
Using the included RC Plus 2 remote controller, drone control and live video feed can be sent successfully from up to 15.5 miles away. This is due to the O4 Enterprise transmission system, the Matrice 4E’s 8-antenna system, and RC Plus 2’s high-gain antenna. This system even supports fast image transfer with download speeds of up to 20 MB/s.
Safe and Worry-Free Flight
An integrated RTK module supports the extended L5 frequency band, which works with GNSS and DJI’s Vision Fusion Positioning and Navigation System to safely return the Matrice 4E home using visual positioning updates. This 5-directional vision assist system and downward vision sensor also allow for rapid takeoff within 15 seconds and return to home in areas lacking a GNSS signal.
On top of the return-to-home feature is general obstacle avoidance. Use the Matrice 4E’s map-based guidance feature to enhance that by connecting the RC Plus 2 Enterprise remote to the internet. With that connection, you can load terrain elevation and area maps to help with more precise avoidance and automatic route planning. An excellent feature for flying at night or in mountainous regions.
Software Support
Matrice 4E is made to work with DJI Pilot 2, FlightHub 2, Terra, and Modify. These applications provide piloting, route planning, mapping, 3D modeling, sharing, and much more.
Open Development
Institutions, organizations, and agencies can have very specific needs when it comes to drone usage. This is why DJI allows the Matrice 4E to support open development. Developers can enhance the drone’s capabilities using Intelligent Algorithm Developer, PSDK, MSDK, Cloud API, and DJI Terra API.
Data Security
Enterprise-level drones can be involved with highly sensitive data acquisition, which is why DJI offers Local Data Mode, the ability to clear all data with a single tap, AES-256 video transmission encryption, and Cloud API to keep information secure.
Enterprise Care Plus
This protection plan offers multiple benefits when replacing and servicing the Matrice 4E. This specific plan provides one year of coverage with unlimited replacements for free and the DJI Care Enterprise Plus Renew extended service plan. The plan covers damage from user error, signal interference, collision, water damage, and drop damage. When submitting a replacement request, DJI will also provide free delivery. DJI also takes the hassle out of protecting your entire fleet, letting you share the coverage with all of your drones.
