Assembling a network of highly skilled aerial survey operators around the world to provide rapid access to high-quality imagery and other data options (e.g. lidar) acquired by conventional aerial survey platforms.
The Service
The partnership model is optimised to ensure that data is acquired rapidly and consistently to a high standard, as recent projects in the UK, USA and Italy have proved (see case study below).
Acquired imagery can then be made available to visualise and share, alongside other datasets and client-relevant data, via the browser-based online platform, VIP.
Hurricane Harvey Flooding, USA – 2017
Pescara Del Tronto Earthquake, Italy – 2016
Client Benefits
- Synoptic view over wide target areas
- Combines high resolution and accuracy
- Acquisition can be tasked for specific places and dates
- Cost effective compared to conventional ground surveying
