Applications: Planning & Mapping
Urban Mapping
- determine locations of signs, fire hydrants, utility poles, etc.
- determine road centerlines, building footprints, property lines, etc.
- measure area, height, width, etc. of structures from generated GIS layers
- non-intrusively examine environmentally sensitive areas
- pre-plan emergency response scenarios
- generate 3D vector models of buildings
Development
- determine changes, renovations, etc. of properties
- review areas prior to field surveying
- view traffic flow, rights of way, zoning areas, etc. for planning
- determine proximity to schools, hospitals, fire departments, etc.
- assess impact to adjoining properties
Property Assessment & Taxation
- measure areas, building footprints, decks, pools, etc.
- determine changes, renovations, etc. of properties
- identification and measurement of changes without site visits
Architecture
- diagram buildings prior to modification
- measure distances to other buildings, roads, trees, etc.
- create digital models of buildings: before and after
- view traffic flow, rights of way, etc. for planning
Disaster Response
- synoptic view of site
- non-intrusively examine dangerous or sensitive areas
- determine locations of buildings, vehicles, spills, fire damage, etc.
- determine locations of important debris
- determine distance between objects (e.g. power lines and buildings)
- determine height of buildings, power lines, roof layout, access points, etc.
- locate fire hydrants and water sources
Archaeology
- facilitate aerial surveys of location
- measure & analyze sites without disturbing the location
- model historical sites, buildings, structures, etc.
- diagram excavation sites
