Open Project
Airborne Video and Video-GIS
Airesearch Mapping Pty Ltd Airesearch Mapping Pty Ltd have developed an advanced airborne video technique for cost effective and rapid spatial data capture for long "linear assets“ (ViMap)
It enables digital mapping from video and spatial positioning data ViMap uses a helicopter platform mounted with the following sensors and data acquisition systems:
- Forward and vertical digital video cameras
- GPS positioning
- Inertial attitude sensor
- Laser scanning
- PC acquisition
Airesearch Mapping Pty Ltd have also developed a Video/GIS viewing application (ViGis). This integrates video imagery and digital route mapping into an easily controlled PC system. It allows the user to review the acquired video of the corridor for asset management, monitoring and assessment
