DJI has partnered up with thermal - imaging manufacturer FLIR , to develop the Zenmuse XT drone . That means all the advantages that DJI has become famous for—stupid-simple operation, live-streaming first-person video and good performance—will transfer over to a thermal-imaging platform. DJI will use its Inspire 1 and Matrice 100 drones , equipping them with thermal - imaging cameras , which will be useful for search - and - rescue missions , firefighting and in the construction industry . The partnership will transform aerial imaging for the industry , using DJI 's expertise in camera stabilisation and long range video transmission . Firefighters using aerial thermal imagery technology explain that it helps identify which areas of the building are most affected by a fire , helping them see how the fire has affected the roof of the building and where it has spread to before anyone enters the building . Aerial thermal imagery has also become popular in the agriculture sector for crop management . Farmers are using the technology to help plan irrigation systems , increase fruit yields , and detect diseases .
