What is LiDAR?

• LiDAR functions by sending out thousands oflaser beams per second and measuring the timeit takes for the lasers to return from the surface

• LiDAR imaging creates dense 3-D point cloudsthat can render high-quality terrain contour lines

• LiDAR remains accurate regardless of difficultweather conditions, ambient lighting, or plantfoliage

What is multispectral imaging?

• Our multispectral imaging consists of five wavelengths; blue, green, red, red edge, near infrared (NIR)

• Using a Normalized Difference  Vegetation Index (NDVI) multispectral data is used to identify the species and health of plants over large areas

• Using the Leaf Chlorophyll Index (LCI) we can identify different species of plants, locating them on a map.  

• By flying in multiple pre-plotted patterns above an object, we can stitch the thousands of photos together to create a detailed orthomosaic of an area or object. This photogrammetry has many applications

• Photogrammetry can be used to create detailed 3D models of any of your buildings, for insurance inspections, or promotional reasons.

• With the proper flight and data processing, photogrammetry can generate detailed Digital Surface Models (DSMs).

• Videography can be used to livestream/record any event or object for promotional purposes.

Infrared (IR) sensors are a type of sensor that are used in drones to detect and measure the intensity of infrared radiation, which is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength that is longer than that of visible light. IR sensors can be used in drones for a variety of purposes, including temperature sensing, night vision, and detection of objects or materials that are invisible to the human eye.

There are several different types of IR sensors that can be used in drones, including passive IR sensors, active IR sensors, and thermal IR sensors. Passive IR sensors detect the IR radiation that is naturally emitted by objects or materials, while active IR sensors emit their own IR radiation and detect the reflection off of objects or materials. Thermal IR sensors detect the temperature of an object or material by measuring the IR radiation that is emitted by the object or material.

IR sensors are often used in drones for thermal imaging, which involves using a thermal IR sensor to capture images or data about the temperature of an area or object. These images or data can be used to identify temperature abnormalities or hotspots that may indicate issues or problems, such as overheating machinery or electrical components, or fires.

Overall, IR sensors are a valuable tool for drones, as they allow for the detection and measurement of infrared radiation, which can be useful for a variety of applications, including temperature sensing, night vision, and detection of objects or materials that are invisible to the human eye.
