Aerial Photo Maps Boost Service Provision

  26/05/2009
High-resolution aerial photography is helping to boost the provision of services across public sector organisations in the North East of England. Purchased by Tyne and Wear Research and Information (TWRI) on behalf of a consortium that includes local councils, emergency services and the Passenger Transport Authority, the GeoPerspectives imagery from Bluesky will provide benefits for a variety of applications.

These applications include frontline use within emergency service response vehicles and supporting decision-making within the planning application process. At 10cm resolution, the digital aerial photomap is detailed enough to view individual property boundaries, specific land uses and even street markings.
 
TWRI was established in 1986 to support the 5 Tyne and Wear district Councils (Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Sunderland) through the assembly and analysis of statistical information. They provide a wide range of services including research, advice and consultancy within the themes of Census and Demographics, Crime, GIS / Mapping, Economy, Social, Area Profiler 2, Housing, Land and Property and News. TWRI also works with a wide range of organisations, including the police, fire service, probation, Government Office North East (GONE), Association NE Councils (ANEC) and North East Assembly (NEA).
 
The GeoPerspectives dataset was captured in the summer of 2008 at a resolution of 10cm as part of a five-year update plan to maintain national coverage of the most accurate and up-to-date aerial photography of England and Wales. Using the latest digital imaging technology GeoPerspectives, a joint venture between Bluesky and Infoterra, provides national coverage of orthorectified aerial photography, digital terrain and surface models (DTM/DSM) for 3D modelling, and colour infrared imagery (CIR) for vegetation analysis.

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories

The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
