A versatile suite of UAV or Drone based imaging system for large area survey providing 3D, thermal, colour and spectral reflectance for material analysis (vegetation, soil, building material, rock art or wall paintings) for archaeology, architecture/built heritage, art history and conservation complementing ground-base remote imaging and spectroscopy suite of instruments.
The UAV/Drone platforms consist of a hyperspectral system (400-1000 nm) co-aligned with a LIDAR and a Multiband system consist of co-aligned RGB colour and thermal camera system. Large area survey can be carried out over an archaeological site or the exterior of a building or outdoor monument. The unique feature of this system being it is co-aligned so the imaging and the 3D point cloud data are registered. The system is capable of providing a high resolution hyperspectral imaging with the 3D Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The combination offers precise 3D information for hidden features in the landscape and imaging of building roofs and facades and monuments. High spatial resolution system can be achieve with an in-house adaptation.
Limited by weather conditions (no rain and severe weather conditions); needs permission for operation in certain countries and regions.
