Precise tracking in flight

ART brings decades of experience in optical metrology to a new application field: real-time drone tracking. Passive retro-reflective markers on the airframe enable high-precision 6DOF data — without active components on the drone. The focus is on research, inspection, and flight dynamics analysis, not classic manufacturing robotics.

Technology

With just four AT7-50 cameras and DTRACK4, you can already cover a tracking volume of 8 × 8 meters. The system scales easily to larger flight zones when needed. Interfaces to common 3D platforms such as Autodesk VRED allow direct use of tracking data.

Applications

  • Inspection and surveying in large halls or outdoor areas
  • FPV racing and flight dynamics analysis
  • Research and development for autonomous flight systems
  • Integration into simulation and visualization

Result

Whether inspection, sport, or research — ART delivers an adaptable tracking system tailored to your requirements. Tell us about your project — we look forward to the challenge.
