Thermal Camera
Thermal Mode
Adjust the signal amplification from the camera sensor to enhance temperature dierences in
an image.
Recon - Tuned to increase the contrast between the overall scene and targets. Best for search
and rescue or situational awareness use cases. Recon helps dierentiate the scene from things
like people, vehicles, or animals.
Inspect - Tuned to decrease the overall contrast so that temperature anomalies are easier to
identify in inspection use cases. This makes it easier to not only see the anomaly, but help track
the source from the heat signature.
Custom - Allows you to fine-tune your Gain, High Tail, and Low Tail settings. Select Inspect or
Recon as your Base Mode, then adjust your Gain, High Tail, and Low Tail settings from there.
These settings will persist across flights and will be applied each time you select Custom as
your Thermal Mode.
• Gain - Artificially increases contrast of areas with similar temperatures
• High Tail - Adjust saturation of the hotter items in the scene
• Low Tail - Adjust saturation of colder items in the scene
Temp Range
Select the range of temperatures Skydio X10D will detect.
Narrow - Detects temperatures ranging from -40°F to 302°F (-40°C to 150°C)
Wide - Detects temperatures ranging from -40°F to 662°F (-40°C to 350°C)
Thermal Capture
Enable to capture thermal images as JPG files.
RJPG - When enabled, your drone will capture a Radiometric JPG in addition to a standard JPG.
A Radiometric JPG includes the radiometric data within the photo file.
