DATA TYPES

—

Elevate your perspective.

Aerial photos underpin much of the complex 3D mapping that we carry out here at Future Aerial, but make no mistake, these high-resolution images can be an indispensable form of data aquisition in their own right.

We deliver georeferenced inspection imagery via online apps, providing location awareness to our clients. By understanding where each image was taken, users can mark up defects online and automate their maintenance reporting. To find out more, visit our dedicated 'Inspections' Page.

The State of the Industry
The world will need to spend at least $57 trillion on building and maintaining infrastructure between now and 2030, saving money on every facet of a project is a necessity. Critical Infrastructure services need to be smarter, greener, and more efficient than ever, in today’s technologically advanced world a comprehensive digital overview is essential for success in design and maintenance. Our primary focus is on working with our partners to realise the full potential of asset digitisation from drone data.

Many of our clients rely on our aerial imagery to undertake remote inspections. Providing a full snapshot of asset condition, reducing time on site and minimising health & safety concerns by accessing potentially hazardous areas - have you considered using drone technology for your asset inspections?

“From proof of concept through to actionable surveys Future Aerial produced some exeptional data within the extremely stringent safety standards at Crossrail.

We used the data across all our teams for many more uses than originally intended and for many months during the development on site.”

USING AERIAL PHOTOS FOR INSPECTIONS

Aerial Imagery Use Cases

Future Aerial provide aerial images for a wide variety of clients and purposes, here are a few examples:

Asset Inspections
Promo / Advertising Material
Brochure Images
Construction Progress Updates

Crossrail
The requirement here was to produce highly accurate data for planning and setting out across the key supply site at C610 and to explore the potential uses of 3d mesh models in partnership with Bentley context capture and Costain. Data was used every day by all the teams involved at Plumstead and still continues to be used as development continues.

Inspection Imagery

We acquire, process and deliver a broad range of digital outputs from our LiDAR surveys, here are a few common examples:

Point cloud .LAS or similar (with vegetation filtered out)
Orthomosaic imagery (GeoTIFF) or similar
Digital elevation models (DEM)
Digital terrain models (DTM)
