A team of from\u00a0experts from Bauhaus University Weimar, Foundation for the Preservation of Cultural Monument,\u00a0Kulturstiftung Sachsen-Anhalt and Intel get together to inspect and do damage assement of the 15th century Halberstadt Cathedral in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.<\/p>\n
Intel is using the Intel Falcon 8+ commercial drone\u00a0 for a series of indoor and outdoor missions on both automated and manual flight. The Intel Falcon 8+ helps capture data that will inform next steps for restoration planning.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdvanced technology, like the Intel Falcon 8+ drone, provides enormous potential for structural monitoring,\u201d said Norman Hallermann, Bauhaus University Weimar. \u201cWorking with Intel drone technology has allowed us to reach previously inaccessible spaces, like the cathedral\u2019s bell towers. While we are just in the beginning stages of this three-year project, the costs saved by carrying out these inspections via a drone are already being put towards further conservation efforts.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Intel Falcon 8+ drone captured nearly 1,000 images in less than an hour to generate precise 3-D structural models for the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this case, the Intel Falcon 8+ drone is becoming an extension of the preservation team,\u201d said Anil Nanduri, vice president and general manager within Intel\u2019s New Technology Group. \u201cIntel is excited about the future of inspections being automated and analyzed using drones. We are thrilled to be part of this project to restore this iconic piece of history and to be able to contribute with our technology.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
