Other Functions
The DG-L35T gimbal camera supports a lens heating and defog function. When flying and
shooting in environments with mist, water vapor may affect the image quality. You can improve
this by tapping the " " icon in the tool box on the Autel Enterprise App to activate the defog
function.
After enabling the defog function, the internal heating wire of the gimbal camera will heat the
camera lens for physical defogging. Simultaneously, the captured images will undergo quality
improvement and enhance color contrast for a better image/video output.
For detailed introduction on operating the heating and defogging function, see "6.4
Shortcut Toolbar" in Chapter 6.
Flight Control System
The Autel Alpha aircraft achieves stable and convenient flight control through its built-in
intelligent flight control system. The system supports a number of advanced functions, including
auto-return, failsafe, visual positioning system, etc.
Table 3-11 Flight Control System
IMU
A three-axis gyroscope and a three-axis accelerometer measure
acceleration and angular velocity.
Compass
Measures the geomagnetic field and provides reference
information on the aircraft heading.
GNSS receiver
Receives global satellite navigation signals to measure
longitude, latitude, and altitude.
Barometer
Measures atmospheric pressure and is used to determine the
altitude of the aircraft.
Visual Sensing System
Provides the aircraft with 720° obstacle awareness around the
fuselage.
Millimeter Wave Radar
Provides the aircraft with all-day and all-weather obstacle
avoidance capabilities.
Flight Status
Depending on the availability of GNSS signals and flight conditions, the aircraft can automatically
switch between three modes.
