Amazon Web Services and drone-industry body Drone Federation of India have partnered to identify and develop solutions which use machine learning algorithms for analysing, and generating insights from data collected using drones. The initiative, called the ‘Adopt Drones’ program, intends to build these AI-driven solutions to eventually pitch them to large enterprises, DFI said in a press release. The program will run in six phases and focus on solutions for twenty sectors, including agriculture, infrastructure, healthcare, and rural development. Companies looking to participate will have to pitch their AI-led drone data analysis solutions, and AWS and DFI will shortlist solutions based on their feasibility, predicted market size, and current stage of the solution. “Drones collect an enormous amount of data, usually in the form of images and videos. This data is then processed using software to derive qualitative and quantitative business insights. While this analysis is crucial, the current analytical processes are laborious and have lesser accuracy and efficiency than what is needed for large scale deployments. "There is a need to have faster and more data-driven decisions to increase the efficiency of businesses, which is achievable by using algorithms, advanced computing systems, and machine learning technology to generate more precise and actionable insights.” — Drone Federation of India Amazon Web Services will provide drone application developers support in multiple areas like technical review of their solutions for cost and performance, offer them credits to use AWS cloud services, test and deploy their secure and scalable solutions on the cloud,…
