Drone buzzing Fenway Park a ‘wake-up call’ for Congress to act

The drone that buzzed Fenway Park is a “wake-up call” to Congress to regulate the unmanned aircraft before there’s a tragedy, two former police commissioners told the Herald.

The warning comes just days before the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon — where drones have been banned by the Federal Aviation Administration.

“At the moment, this is a mess. Nobody has the authority to take drones down,” said William J. Bratton, a former police commissioner in Boston and New York City and former chief of police in Los Angeles. “I’m willing to bet there will be drone incursions over the marathon. It’s worrisome.

“Unfortunately, it will probably take a tragedy to get Congress to act. This is a wake-up call,” said Bratton, now head of risk advisory at Teneo in New York City.

The NFL, he added, is concerned, as are other professional sports teams. Drones in flight paths near airports are also causing chaos around the country. Boston police, state police and the FAA are investigating Thursday..

AI-enabled drone teams to speed search and rescue

AI-enabled drone teams to speed search and rescue

Local responders have increasingly called on drones to help in search and rescue operations. Unmanned aerial systems can cover more ground than humans and provide a birds' eye view of the operations. Besides carrying cameras, drones can be equipped with thermal imaging technology that lets them detect heat signatures arising from humans at night and in foggy or smoke-filled areas, providing vital clues to skilled search-and-rescue personnel on the ground.

To supercharge this man-machine combo, researchers at Virginia Tech are working to inject machine learning into search and rescue protocols, optimize autonomous, multi-drone teams and expand the amount of relevant data searchers can draw from.

The machine-learning component incorporates historical data of what lost people actually do, combined with typical searcher behavior and public information about the terrain searchers are covering.

Aligning to emerging technologies in Australia

Artificial intelligence (AI) to the left of businesses, Internet of Things (IoT) to the right, here Australia is, stuck in the middle of innovation.

Not forgetting machine learning, robotics, blockchain, 3D printing and digital transformation, coupled with cloud, cognitive and drones.
Collectively, emerging technologies are on a collision course across the country, each battling for a lead role in the transformation of a nation.

On paper, endless choice appears to place businesses in an advantageous position, but the enterprise must now assess, evaluate and align to the emerging technologies capable of driving innovation.
“Technology has become simpler and more accessible with the emergence of new digital solutions, technology start-ups and the breaking down of traditional IT commercial and delivery models,” observed Andrew Garner, lead partner of technology services across Oceania at EY.
Despite this, Garner said the ease of access and deployment of technologies is not always easy ..

Travel Industry Photos Adds Drone Still Photography and Videos…

Travel Industry Photos has completed certification by the FAA to fly and offer drone hotel photography and video services to their clients.

PORTLAND, Ore. (PRWEB) April 10, 2019

As Brett and Sally Patterson have stayed on top of the ever-changing technology behind hotel photography and video, drones are finally able to capture still photography suitable for web and print. End users have high expectations as it relates to quality, and they wanted to ensure their drone still photography and videos matched their current quality of work.

To officially be able to offer these services, the team had to become certified by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration). This certification provides a license to pilot these unmanned aircraft. The FAA requires that all pilots flying drones for commercial purposes be licensed under Part 107, meaning any pilot flying and shooting for hotels and resorts will need such certification.

“The FAA is very demanding that commercial drone pilots be profi..
