FPV
First Person View
(FPV), allows viewing on a screen (e.g. smartphone) the view of the camera
mounted. The camera may be mounted on a gimbal system to move and stabilise it.
The First Person View FPV system or real-time vision from a screen that receives the images
from the drone camera is a system that consists of several components: the camera, the
transmission system, the video receiver and the vision screen. In addition to the main elements,
a drone can have a stabilising system of the camera, known as Gimbal. This system has the
function of stabilising the camera, avoiding that the own inclination of the drone in its
movements or the vibration of the motors can affect the quality of the images. In the most
advanced drones, it is possible for an operator to independently operate the camera by moving
the Gimbal system according to the needs. These cases are very interesting in the height
inspection, where the pilot drives the drone and the camera operator manages the Gimbal
camera.
