Drone Survey Data

A drone survey entails utilizing a drone equipped with a downward-facing camera to capture aerial data.
During a drone survey employing an RGB camera, the ground is photographed multiple times from a 90-degree angle, with each image being tagged with coordinates (latitude and longitude).
Utilizing this data, pre-processing software can generate geo-referenced orthomosaics and 3D models of the project area.
These maps can additionally facilitate the extraction of information such as highly accurate distances or volumetric measurements in post-processing software.

Dense Cloud

A dense cloud is a collection of closely spaced points in a three-dimensional space.
In photogrammetry and remote sensing, dense clouds are generated from overlapping images captured by aerial or satellite platforms.
These clouds represent detailed surface information, including object shapes, textures, and spatial relationships.
Dense clouds are used in various applications such as 3D modelling, terrain reconstruction, and object detection.
They enable accurate and detailed analysis of landscapes, buildings, and other features in the captured area.

Digital Elevation Model

A DEM is a digital representation of the topography or elevation of Earth’s terrain surface. It provides a grid of elevation values, allowing for the visualization of landforms and terrain features in a digital format. They are created using data collected from various sources such as satellite imagery, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), or aerial surveys. DEMs are utilized in various applications including geographic analysis, hydrology, landform classification, and natural resource management. They play a crucial role in terrain visualization, slope analysis, flood modeling, and site suitability assessments for infrastructure projects.

Orthomosaic:

An orthomosaic image is a detailed, geometrically corrected aerial photograph in 2D.
It is created by stitching together multiple overlapping images captured by drones, satellites, or aircraft.
Orthomosaic images are geometrically accurate representations of the Earth's surface, free from distortions caused by terrain variations and camera perspectives.
They provide high-resolution visual information suitable for mapping, surveying, and analysis purposes.
Orthomosaic’s are widely used in applications such as land use planning, agriculture, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure development.
They offer valuable insights into terrain features, land cover, and spatial patterns over large areas with consistent scale and accuracy.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging using drones involves capturing infrared radiation emitted by objects to create images that visualize temperature variations across a landscape or structure. Drones are equipped with thermal cameras or sensors that detect and measure infrared radiation emitted by objects. These sensors can detect temperature differences as small as fractions of a degree Celsius. The drone flies over the area of interest, capturing thermal data from the ground or structures below. The camera records the infrared radiation emitted by objects, creating a thermal image of the scene. The captured thermal data is processed using specialized software to create thermal images or maps. This software translates the infrared radiation into visual representations, with warmer areas depicted in brighter colours (such as red or yellow) and cooler areas in darker colours (such as blue or purple).

Thermal imaging using drones has various applications across industries:

Building Inspections: Detecting heat leaks, moisture intrusion, or electrical faults in buildings.
Search and Rescue: Locating missing persons or survivors by detecting body heat signatures.
Environmental Monitoring: Monitoring wildlife populations, identifying vegetation health, or detecting hotspots in forests during wildfires.
Infrastructure Inspection: Assessing the condition of power lines, pipelines, or solar panels by detecting overheating components.
Security and Surveillance: Monitoring large areas for intruders or detecting thermal anomalies in critical infrastructure.
