Drones enable large-scale, detailed surveys of natural resources, providing accurate maps and models as well as telemetry data.
Natural Resource Management and Drones
Natural Resource Management
Natural Resource Management Key Benefits
Forest Management
Deploy drones with high-resolution visual sensors and multispectral sensors to map forests, sample vegetation, or monitor and manage the health of forests and wildlife.
Water Resource Management
Map around surface water, outfalls and more with drones to obtain data on-demand, facilitating resource management and compliance monitoring across vast areas.
Forest Management
Traditional Challenges in Forest Management
Mapping heavily-vegetated, often mountainous areas on foot is time-consuming, expensive, and dangerous to the operators.
The data collected could be limited in both scope and scale, making it difficult to create comprehensive profiles that can be shared with different teams.
How Drones Help with Forest Management
Quickly take off and fly over rivers, lakes, reservoirs and more to capture data using automated flights, reducing costs and cutting fieldwork hours.
Aerial imagery helps classify water bodies, estimate water coverage, and monitor sewage.
Water Resource Management
Traditional Challenges in Water Resource Management
Mapping surface water requires long hours and many people, while the environment can be hard to access on foot.
Satellite data is expensive and cannot be accessed on demand, while the resolution and data accuracy are subpar.
