Videography
AWECL’s engineers are skilled at videography to supplement the collection of physical evidence utilizing the process of capturing moving images on electronic media (e.g., videotape, direct to disk recording, and solid state storage, including capturing streaming media). The key to the use of videography is to effectively capture and record those items whose emphasis is based upon the dynamics and motion associated with the subject. In many cases, drone videos can ultimately be post processed to select pertinent still frames or in the creation of maps for larger areas of concern.
Photography
High resolution photographs from a 20 mega-pixel Hasselblad L1D-20c camera with a 1 inch CMOS Sensor allows enlargements for courtroom presentations without significant loss of clarity from altitudes of up to 400 feet AGL.
Mapping services
Drone videos and still photography can be utilized in accident cases to depict a scene’s overall details such a road curvature, road sign locations, visual obstructions, and critical distance measurements. Drone mapping can provide most up to date information that simply is not available from municipal and utility maps that may be several years old at best.
Equipment inspections
Most of us are already aware that drone inspections are becoming an important part of the UAS industry. Drone pilots primarily use cameras to visually inspect equipment, but photogrammetry can also be employed to quantify lengths, areas, and volumes as part of a drone inspection. On a small scale, drones can help create a detailed map of a roof or plant structure, including piping. RGB and IR sensors can help to detect areas with leaks or poor insulation coverage using thermal imaging. On a larger scale, for example, the energy industry can use aerial maps to inspect solar farms, spotting problem spots in the solar panels with the aid of infrared imagery.
