## Industrial Intelligence – An Airborne View

- Industries everywhere, require intelligent information to manage assets and conduct efficient mission operations.
- “_Smart-Data” requires “Smart-Systems_” that “combine” a number of technologies that are operated from a unique vantage-point (airborne).
- We use Fully digital configurations, with fast & sophisticated  processing that provide rapid response and wireless delivery of imagery where and when it is needed.

## Image Mapping Intelligence – Target Markets

**Our Airborne Image-Mapping Services was designed for...**
**Fire-Mapping & Fire-Suppression Mission-Critical Initiatives**
**The system was seen as a natural fit for...**
**Agriculture & Environmental Management**
**Crop Control (Maximizing/Minimizing/Eradication)**
**Water, Fertilizer & Augment Programs**
**Environmental**
**Herd, Livestock & Wildlife Migration & Management**
**Vegetation**
**Waterways**
**Terrain, Space & Territory Planning**
**Emergency Response & Logistics (Earthquake, Flooding, etc.)**

## Start of Lost Creek Fire,Alberta CanadaOur system was designed for rapid delivery of mapping imagery

## Fire Mapping & Fire Suppression

- Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent fighting fires in North America every year.  Intelligent-Mapping realizes huge savings of valuable resources, by deploying them most-accurately where the action is needed most.

## Mission Critical Operations – Fire Suppression

- Accurate, and to the “minute” intelligent mapping and pinpoint 3D visual information  provides 100% effectiveness  applied to fire-fighting operations.

## Aerial attack plans, 3D visualization assists 

***Mop-Up Fire Suppression***

**Fire Mapping**
**We have designed a 3D system.  **
**That is, produce an ortho-rectified thermal mosaic and place it onto the 3D Terrain Model or DEM.**

## Fire Mapping

**Navigate to the spot with simple hand held devices.**

- The 3D maps are put
- back in the field with
-  ruggedized pen tablet or
- hand-held with
- GPS to navigate
- to the area
-  of interest in real-time

## ...for that matter,  to go one step further, technology is available today 

**in broadband wireless systems **
**to email the image mosaics **
**back to the field or suppression aircraft.**

- Ground personnel will
- have the very accurate
- thermal hot spot map with
- GPS to virtually stand
- on the
- hot spot if it’s hard to
- find...

## Image-Mapsare geoTIF files and are used on Laptops and PDA devices with GPS immediately, as moving map displays to navigate.

**To initialize our automated rectification and mosaic routines, we require...**
**digital imagery (.tiff)  with event marker tags**
**the DGPS flight trajectory**
**the detailed LiDAR DEM **
**INS orientation tags**

## Quality Control verifies we have complete coverage over the area of interest (no imagery gaps allowed).

**Quality Control verifies we have complete coverage over the area of interest (no imagery gaps allowed).**
**We then create intermediate file sets of **
** ****imagery orientation from the INS/trajectory**
** ****a DEM.geotif at the final image resolution**
**Rectification of each image is completed.**
**Then a mosaic is run to create **
**the tiles of desired size and datum**

## Conclusion ...

- ...over the past 7 years we have developed the Rapid Mapping System.
- Prices have dropped from $3.00 per acre to $0.50 per acre in some applications
- 3m Imagery can be available for $0.10 per acre in some Agriculture applications
- Our latest advancement is to move the mapping system into a high altitude aircraft to achieve mapping production rates of 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 acres per session...
- ...and deliver that
-        imagery in 24hrs
