Key Reporting Services
Environmental Reporting
Working with our sister business at Forest Lidar we can undertake sophisticated Lidar, photographic, thermal and multispectral reports for environmental reporting and research along with data gathering for processing base line carbon reports particularly in the areas of agriculture and forestry.
Why WE use multiple drones
RGB
These are your standard cameras that you use every day and include video as well as still capture. On drones these can be single shots or more often we capture thousands of multiple images at a rate of several per second and the software stitches the images to create a complex image known as an orthomosaic or even create a 3D Model
LIDAR
Lidar uses a laser sensor to map the environment around itself. Lasers can penetrate areas such as woodland to allow mapping below the canopy and provide data of the ground below the trees which can be viewed as a point cloud and can generate 3 D data
THERMAL
These sensors measure infra-red light and are ideally suited for search and rescue in the dark or more often for surveying activity at night such as deer or other wild life.
They are also used to detect differing levels of heat being emitted from a surface which can show areas of heat loss or possible electrical faults. Cold readings in a given area could be a sign of water penetration, or leaks
MULTISPECTRAL
These units are made up of multiple sensors along with a RGB unit. The drone can detect and measure light from a range of spectrums and uses the RGB camera for linking the data to a location. It is used to detect a range of different conditions in plants such as a lack of nutrients or water or presence of disease and is often used to assess plant health in crops such as wheat or fruit trees
