UAV technology has become extremely reliable in terms of automatic flight control. High resolution imagery can be acquired from different platforms depending on the requirements.

We focus on the automatic and fast processing of the imagery which provides our clients with a quick turnaround of a couple of days from the capture of the imagery to the delivery of the end products.

Quick mobilisation anywhere in the world with high-tech, compact UAV hardware and low cost operation is now possible. Typical photographic coverage is up to 0.5 square km at 2cm ground resolution in less than an hour of flight.

The UAVs are electric powered, therefore leaving zero carbon emission footprint, an environmental friendly solution that is also a non-hazardous one if flying over areas where petrol powered UAVs are too risky.

Different sensors are available for mapping or surveillance: High Definition (HD) video cameras, high resolution SLR photogrammetric cameras as well as night vision sensors.

Our UAV solution is particularly efficient and affordable for:

• Mapping of open pit mines, oil and gas refineries, harbours..
• Environmental studies, impact from natural disasters
• Corridor mapping: pipeline, power lines, railway, roads..
• Emergency services and law enforcement: accidents, crime scene..

If large areas are to be captured for mapping purposes (more than a thousand sq.km), an innovative solution can be proposed with a super large frame digital camera (SLF) for acquiring imagery either in True Colour  (TC) or/and False Colour Infrared  (FCIR).

The exceptional performance of the VisionMap A3 camera allows to capture 1,000 sq. km in a day at a  ground resolution of 10cm taken from about 11,000 feet above the ground.

This very compact aerial survey digital mapping camera is about 10 times lighter than conventional aerial survey large format digital cameras. Its accuracy cannot be disputed neither its advantages:

• IMU and stabilised mount are not required
• High resolution imagery  can be captured over airports areas
• Very large sweep offering  oblique view
• High overlap for robust  ray matching in the aerial triangulation
• Twice the productivity vs conventional aerial digital survey cameras
• Lower carbon emission footprint because of less flying...

This revolutionary camera is an excellent tool for covering large areas in minimum time

For specific surveillance and observation applications, Intelpix can provide one of the most economical and advanced aircraft in its class, the Seabird Seeker. With a typical endurance of 7 hours and a range of 800km at a speed of 65kts (120km/h), this Australian build aircraft by Seabird Aviation Australia is well adapted for operating in harsh conditions. It can take off and land from a 300m strip that could be a road, a beach or a gravel track.

State-of-the-art instrumentation and sensors are available from medium format digital cameras to FLIR and HD Video on a gyro mount.

At a third of the operating cost of rotary wing equivalents, this aircraft provides a smart alternative for powerline and pipeline inspection, coast watch, environmental and stock monitoring, aerial photography and law enforcement where VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) is not mission essential. Crew visibility is unrivalled by any other fixed-wing aircraft and is superior to many helicopters.

When ground surveys are becoming a challenge for assets management, we can propose an  innovative and simple solution using a portable, push-and-forget mobile camera that integrates a GPS and IMU. The system records georeferenced imagery along the driven track which can be visualised in most GIS packages. Its simplicity and affordability makes it a valuable surveying tool whenever an alternative to costly and lengthy surveying methods is required.

The Metasensing Synthetic Aperture Radar compact sensor allows  accurate mapping measurements derived from L,Ku or X band. 

It can be installed on small, readily available inexpensive aircraft.  The sensor provides a resolution up to the decimeter level  with a coverage rate that can reach 600 sq. km per hour. 

Main applications are digital terrain modeling, environmental monitoring, mapping  through vegetation and change detection.

Aerial thermography can help in analysing the heat loss of houses and buildings and therefore optimise the insulation.

This technology becomes more and more attractive to government agencies , private sector and individuals seeking to reduce their energy costs.
