Triple Sensor Payload (EO + Thermal)
ANAFI USA carries a 3-camera payload consisting of two electro-optical (EO) cameras and one infrared thermal camera, all stabilized on a common gimbal. This triple-sensor array allows simultaneous capture of high-resolution visible imagery and thermal data for comprehensive situational awareness. The dual EO cameras are both 1/2.4″ 21-megapixel sensors – one with a wide-angle lens and one with a telephoto lens – that work together to achieve a seamless 32× zoom range. The wide camera provides broad context for short-range reconnaissance, while the tele camera delivers long-range detail zoom, with an automatic transition between lenses to maintain continuous zoom without interruption. The third sensor is a FLIR Boson longwave infrared camera (320×256 resolution), enabling the drone to detect heat signatures and temperature differences that are invisible to the naked eye.
This tightly integrated triple-sensor payload is mounted on a 3-axis stabilized gimbal, which compensates for drone motion and wind to keep images steady. The gimbal can tilt from straight down (nadir) to forward angles, giving operators flexibility to inspect structures or survey terrain from various perspectives. Parrot’s hybrid stabilization system couples the mechanical gimbal with electronic image stabilization (EIS) on all three camera feeds, achieving remarkably stable video even at full 32× zoom. This means ANAFI USA can capture clear, usable imagery at long distances or during dynamic maneuvers, critical for missions like overwatch, search & rescue, and inspection of distant or elevated targets.
Imaging & Zoom Capabilities
The ANAFI USA’s imaging system provides exceptional zoom and visual detail, leveraging its dual EO cameras for continuous magnification from wide-angle to telephoto. The drone can achieve up to 32× continuous zoom, allowing it to surveil from a safe distance without loss of detail. Operators can see critical details clearly at significant stand-off ranges. The zoom is lossless through much of its range (5× lossless in 4K, 10× in 1080p, and up to 15× in 720p HD), then transitions to digital up to 32×. Even at high zoom levels, images retain a solid resolution.
Maintaining stable, usable video at these zoom levels is a major technical achievement for a 500 g class drone. ANAFI USA’s gimbal and EIS work in tandem to ensure the zoomed image remains steady. This stability allows operators to read details like license plates or utility pole tags from a great distance. The cameras support 4K HDR video (at 24/30 fps) and 21 MP stills in the visible spectrum, producing crisp footage for documentation or evidence. Operators can easily toggle zoom levels or switch between wide, zoom, and thermal views in the controller interface. The live video feed can display blended thermal and visible imagery, so you can zoom in on an area while simultaneously observing its thermal profile – extremely useful for identifying hotspots or persons in darkness.
Thermal Sensor Capabilities
The ANAFI USA’s FLIR Boson thermal camera adds a critical layer of information for firefighting, law enforcement, and industrial inspections. This sensor detects heat energy in the longwave infrared band (7.5 – 13 µm). It captures thermal still images at 320×256 px resolution and outputs live thermal video at 1280×720 (upscaled) at 9 Hz framerate, with a high thermal sensitivity. It’s calibrated for a broad measurable temperature range, enabling detection of both very cold and extremely hot objects.
Operators can choose from multiple thermal viewing modes and palettes. The drone supports both “relative” and “spot” thermography modes – relative mode highlights the full temperature gradient in the frame, while spot mode colorizes only the hottest or coldest points. The camera can blend thermal and visible imagery in real time, useful for pinpointing details that aren’t visible in the thermal spectrum alone. Recorded thermal imagery is fully synchronized with the RGB footage, enabling post-mission analysis with side-by-side or overlay comparisons. This is vital for tracking missing persons at night, identifying electrical hotspots, or assessing disaster scenes.
