Aerial Data Collection
The uses of UAS based aerial data collection are just beginning to be realized. The potential to use this highly accurate, high-resolution imagery to provide insight is unprecedented. ​
​
-
2D and 3D mapping
-
Aerial mapping using UAS has become recognized as an effective way to capture data quickly, easily, accurately, and repeatedly for use in many industries.​

Construction site data
-
Tracking activity on a construction site can be time-consuming and error-prone using traditional methods. By collecting aerial data and periodic intervals through the process, stakeholders are empowered by rich aerial data in the form of orthomosaics, 3d surfaces and point clouds along with rapidly developing analytical tools.​

Asset management
-
Aerial Data collection is an excellent tool to build a rich understanding of conditions at any type of asset. It sets a baseline of existing conditions for the asset. It can be used to document the construction process of an asset so the information is always accessible and available.

Cloud-based data management systems
-
The ability to access aerial data in online cloud environments can be very powerful. It is a way to easily share these rich data sets with interested groups who may not be able to visit the site. It helps with projects starting in preliminary design and continues to provide value through the lifecycle of the infrastructure. ​
