## Vision Positioning System DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft identity its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire I can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1, including [1]two sonar

### ~

sensors and[2]one monocular camera.

Using Vision Positioning 

### Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 is powered on. No manual action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire I can perform precision hovering even when no GPS is available.



### 16 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.INSPIRE 1 User Manual


### Followthe steps belowto use Vision Positioning: 1.Toggle the switch to "P" as shownthe figureto the right: 2. Place the Inspire 1 on aflat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system

cannotwork properly on surfaceswithout pattern variations. 3. Power on the Inspire 1. The aircraft status indicatorwill flash twice in green light,

which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push thethrottle up to liftoff, andthe Inspire 1will hoverin place. 

# 6 The performance of your Inspire 1's Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are flying over. The ultrasonicwaves may not be able to accurately measurethe distance over sound absorbing materials, and the camera may notfunction correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from "P" mode to "A" mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning System are not available. So operatethe aircraftcautiouslywhen in anyofthefollowing situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). • Flying over ahighly reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over 8m/s at 2meters or over4m/s at 1meter). • Flying overwater ortransparentsurfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces orobjects. • Flying in an areawherethe lighting changes frequently or drastically. • Flying over extremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 10,000) surfaces. • Flying oversurfacesthat can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). • Flying oversurfaces without clear patterns ortexture. • Flying oversurfaces with identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tiles with same design). • Flying over inclined surfaces thatwill deflect sound wavesawayfrom the aircraft. • In the event of loss of remote controller's signal, the aircraft will hoverfor 8 seconds and then

auto-land if it is in "P" mode.

**lJ~** 

# • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affectthe effectiveness ofthe sensors. • The effective hovering altitudes ofthe aircraft isfrom 0to 2.5 meters. • Vision Positioning system may notfunction properlywhen the aircraft isflying overwater. • Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 1001ux). • Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of40 KHzwhen Vision Positioning system is

in operation. • Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the

ground (below 0.5 meters) in fast speed. 

## 0 Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequencysound that is only audibleto some animals. 

## Flight Recorder Flight data is automatically recorded to the SD card. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameter;:;. 

## Attaching and Detaching the Propellers Use only DJI approved propellers with your Inspire 1. The grey or black nut on the propeller indicates the rotation direction of the propeller and where it should be attached.

44 © 2015 OJI. All Rights Reserved.

# Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how to fly safely. Ensurethat all flights are carried out in asuitable location. 

## Flight Environment Requirements 1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10m/s ,

snow, rain and smog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board

compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies ofwater. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism,

including mobile phone base stations or radio transmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subjectto environmentfactor such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when flying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 6. The Inspire i cannot operate within the polar areas in "P" mode. 

## Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details ofthese flight limits are described in the following section. All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and their own national airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The flight limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No FlyZones. When operating in PMode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones worktogetherto manage flight. In A mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higherthan i20 meters. 

### Max Height & 

### Radius Limits Max Height & Radius limit flying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the DJI Pilot App. Once complete, your Inspire 1will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. The tables below showthe details ofthese limits.
