Abstract. With the increasing demand for remote real-time high-quality video transmission, especially in the context of large area applications of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and remote location instant live broadcast, traditional wired transmission methods have been surpassed by digital transmission methods due to their superior performance in image quality, transmission distance and delay. Therefore, this study focuses on the application of digital image wireless transmission in remote scenarios such as UAVs, including key digital transmission technologies such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM), as well as public network link communication technologies such as 4G and 5G, by means of a literature study and a case study. It also analyzes the development of WiFi, Lightbridge and OcuSync graphics transmission systems using DJI brand products as case studies. The analysis shows that digital image wireless transmission, especially COFDM and advanced proprietary systems such as DJI's OcuSync, has significant advantages in terms of transmission distance, interference immunity, encryption techniques, and reusability. However, factors such as building obstruction, frequency interference, and weather conditions can affect the transmission quality. To mitigate these challenges, solutions are proposed, such as auxiliary signal enhancement systems, adaptive frequency hopping and software-defined radio technologies.
