HTG has the capability to collect both thermal (radiometric) and photogrammetric data.

The data sets can be used to take precise and accurate measurements and create high quality maps and models including 2D and 3D topographic maps and Digital Surface Models (DSM); thermal reflectance and index maps; and high resolution (20.9 megapixels) photographs and Orthomosaics. The imagery and thermal data can also be evaluated in real time to reveal details not visible to the naked eye.

Did You Know

Drones can provide a safer, faster, cheaper alternative method to aircraft, helicopter, and other aerial imaging techniques. They can ultimately save lives, reduce workplace accidents, decrease the amount of time employees may be exposed to hazards, and make it quick and easy to provide measurements and evaluations of areas with dangerous equipment or at heights.

Drones are used in a wide variety of industries for a wide variety of applications including, but not limited to the following:

  • create accurate 3D models
  • document construction project progression
  • measure and manage stockpile, cuts, and fills
  • locate water infiltration to a roof or from a retaining wall
  • inspect buildings and roofs for leaks or damage
  • identify groundwater springs and seeps
  • inspect dangerous equipment
  • inspect equipment at heights
  • reveal when equipment is damaged or broken
  • document erosion
  • evaluate structural geology
  • conduct fracture trace analysis
  • monitor sinkholes and subsidence
  • record mass movement over time
  • delineate wetlands
  • find and reduce sources heat loss in buildings
  • detect electrical system overloads and insulator leaks
  • locate leaks in hot water and radiant heat systems and floors
  • locate high temperature hot water (HTHW) leaks
  • find costly steam leaks
  • inspect solar panels
  • assist firefighters with heat and fire tracking
  • monitor temperature of coal storage containers
  • detect equipment which is under stress
  • survey land
  • analyze crop health
  • evaluate property damage
  • determine the most damaged areas after a disaster
  • locate missing people
  • inspect radio, cell, and water towers for areas in need of maintenance
  • mapping of inaccessible terrain
200 people

Drones assisted rescuers locate and stabilize more than 200 individuals in a series of devastating floods in India in 2015.

55%

The usage of drones on construction sites has led to about a 55% increase in the safety of the workers.
