Beyond
basemap applications, aerial imagery is a powerful source of information
for GIS applications.
Together with new 3D visualisation systems, it enables increasingly
more elaborate uses for GIS analyses for which Aerodata offers several
services.
GIS analysis has many applications. For example the effects of
high water levels can be analysed by using laser data and sound
propagation studies based on 3D city models.
change detection
Comparison of imagery from repeated survey missions can
be a useful source of information, provided that they can
be carried out each time under similar conditions.
It is here that Aerodata offers a cost-effective service
that is based on a set of criteria of the changes to be monitored.
Examples are:
tracking recently installed solar collectors, house extensions,
roofs and dormer windows
tree felling
the dumping of construction waste.
The analysis of imagery can be even more effective by using
height models of the areas obtained by automatic image correlation
or from laser scanning.
