UAV

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard.

The flight of UAVs may operate with various degrees of autonomy. While they originated mostly in military applications, their use is rapidly expanding to a lot of others applications.

UAV Inspection & Monitoring

on- & offshore inspection of oil and gas platforms.
inspection of infrastructure like bridges, roads, railways, power lines & equipment, viaducts, subways, tunnels, level crossings, dams, reservoirs, retaining walls etc.
inspection of wind farm & power stations.
inspection of solar park & PV modules.
thermal energy efficiency inspections.
inspection of drilling rigs, pipelines & transmission network.
asset & utility inspection.
operation in preventive action or emergency cases.

UAV Surveying & Mapping

land cover classification and mapping.
surveying and mapping of land and infrastructure environment.
land surveying and mapping of small and medium scale areas.
surveying and mapping of mines, gravel pits, construction sites and remote working.
land surveying for site plans, status plans and documentation of construction progress.
surveying and mapping for cartography, orthophotography, topography, cadastral surveys and urban and regional development.
surveying and measurements of objects and areas to create point clouds, digital terrain modelling (DTM), digital elevation modelling (DEM) and volumetric analysis.
inspection and survey of land, embankments, dams and retaining walls.
archeological surveys and excavation monitoring.
geo information system applications (GIS).

UAV Precision Agriculture

precision agriculture and smart farming remote sensing.
survey and multispectral measurements for site-specific land development.
ecological and agronomic rural cultivation.
analysis of soil, health and vigor of crops.
agricultural development, irrigation and nutrient management.
fertiliser and pesticides measurement.
topographic surveys, slope angle measurement and volumetric analysis for site design.
environmental impact assessment and flood risk surveys.
pollination

VIRTUAL Vs AUGMENTED REALITY

Augmented reality (AR) is a direct or indirect live view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are “augmented” by computer-generated perceptual information, ideally across multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory, and olfactory.

Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated scenario that simulates a realistic experience.
