How GIS Aviation Uses Aerial Mapping And Security Surveillance For Risk Assessment

How GIS Aviation Uses Aerial Mapping And Security Surveillance For Risk Assessment. GIS Aviation specialises in security surveillance and aerial mapping for risk assessment and risk mitigation in both rural and urban areas with advanced mapping, surveillance and movement detection hardware and software.

GIS Aviation has been developing drones since 2012. Its head office is based in Rietfontein on the same premises it host its national call centre. The solutions it offers are divided into aerial surveillance, specialised and detailed aerial mapping, geographic information systems and modelling, drone solutions, as well as security details for sensitive and high value assets. The company has a more than 75 years experience in the security industry. GIS Aviation prides itself in offering standard but also highly customised security solutions to satisfy the need of its customers.

Drones can fly very low and relatively slow, and therefore can acquire high definition imagery which can be used to produce very detailed maps. Aerial Mapping is used for manipulation of survey data stitched together for individual enquiry and analysis, generating point clouds and 3D models through photogrammetry, creating high resolution digital elevation data for volume measurements and analysis.

The benefits of Aerial Mapping include it being much more cost effective as oppose to a manned aircraft. The resolution could be increased to the point where one could count the leaves on a plant (up to 0.5mm). Detailed elevation models could be used for drainage planning, bench design, or cut and fill analysis during site planning. Reliable aerial mapping, site strategies and surface modelling are essential elements for most lucrative infrastructure advancement jobs. Infrastructure upgrades and the understanding and monitoring of properties all benefit from aesthetic knowledge through precise 3D geospatial information. UAV (Drone) derived mapping has emerged as the most reliable option to strengthen decision making and boost performance and efficiency of project administration and concept teams.

For use in infrastructure planning, asset mapping, mining ventures, stock-pile and quarry size coverage, virtual surface modelling, site and path selection and farming planning and yield study and condition surveillance. UAV aerial mapping can be performed without disrupting property control, mining or building and construction operations in a secure manner.
