FOREST INVENTORY – STRUCTURAL CLASSIFICATION
LIDAR technology at the service of tree inventory
AEROMEDIA is the main operator in Spain in LIDAR services for the forestry sector. We have an adjusted forest inventory system for species such as eucalyptus and pine.
We offer services for the structural classification of vegetation to plan its management in linear infrastructures such as roads, power lines and railways.
LIDAR is a system based on the measurement of laser distances and intensity, collected in flight following passes. In turn, it is assisted by a GPS system and an inertial system to determine the position and orientation of the sensor along its path. LIDAR is a fundamental tool for the inventory and structural classification of vegetation.
- Always up-to-date data
- Easy to compare historical data and detect changes
- Training and coaching
- Selection of equipment and sensors
- Registration, legalization and insurance
- Follow-up and procedures
MULTIESPECTRAL ANALYSIS – RGB – THERMOGRAPHY
MAPPING- IDENTIFICATION
By mapping with RGB, MULTISPECTRAL and THERMOGRAPHIC images, up-to-date high-resolution images are obtained that allow efficient management of the forest and agriculture. With these data, plant species, diseases, vegetative state are identified and the territory is observed as it is at the present time.
AEROMEDIA has taken RGB, MULTISPECTRAL AND THERMOGRAPHIC data in more than 50,000 ha of land throughout Spain and other countries, we have a centimeter GPS station for taking stake out points in plots, mountains and other environments so that our clients have accurate spatial data. Thanks to drones and cameras that allow us to obtain high performance and centimeter accuracy for all types of projects.
- Always up-to-date data
- Easy to compare historical data and detect changes
- Accurate results
- Cost reduction
- Organization and management efficiency
- Efficiency in the management and certification of work
- More efficient project management
FIREWALLS
FOREST FIRE PREVENTION
Through LIDAR technology in drones combined with RGB images and data from other sources (Satellite, PNOA, Cadastre, Fuels, etc.), we have developed an efficient methodology for the management of fuel around population centers, roads, power lines, railways, etc.
AEROMEDIA has carried out the analysis of the fire defense strips around more than 100 population centers, analyzing more than 1000 linear km around them.
In this methodology, the non-permitted plant species are identified and the rest are classified in enclosures with similar characteristics / actions. In this way the manager knows where and when to clear, prune or cut down and the owner of the cadastral site as well. By performing this analysis on a recurring basis, the degree of compliance with the regulations or the effectiveness of the actions is checked.
- Always up-to-date data
- Easy to compare historical data and detect changes
- Accurate results
- Cost reduction by being able to plan and anticipate actions temporarily
- Organization and management efficiency
- Very efficient regulatory control
Advantages of fuel management with drones
FIRE FIGHTING SUPPORT
Safety and Reliability in extinction
Drones are increasingly participating in forest fire extinguishing tasks.
All roles involved in the strategy, tactics and operations are demanding more and more data in real time about the fire spread, burned surface, risk on populations, mop-up tasks, etc
AEROMEDIA has a team of technicians and pilots who are experts in forest fires. Thus, we provide support with high autonomy drones and with Thermal, Laser and RGB sensors that allow us to contribute to the analysis of situations all the information that those responsible for extinction need. This information is only useful if it is delivered in a georeferenced way and allows obtaining surfaces, distances and locations of the elements of interest.
- Surfaces Measurement
- Fire line inspection, crews and engines safety, back fire assesement, ect.
- Location of vehicles, crews and other means
- Day and night service
- Control of secondary sources and hot spots
- Support in controlled burns
FOREST FIRES INVESTIGATION
Safety and reliability in prevention
Drones are increasingly participating in investigation and surveillance tasks to control fire activity and the causes of fires. The prevention services consider that technical and expert studies related to the causes of fires and the monitoring of activity in burned areas is essential.
Drones offer a unique platform for taking images, and for recording physical evidence that allow the establishment of activity indicator tables.
With drones it is very easy to monitor and record evidence of unauthorized use in burned areas. AEROMEDIA has a team of expert technicians and pilots in forest fire prevention and investigation. We are providing education and training services to forestry and environmental technicians and agents so that they become pilots and master piloting techniques and, above all, taking data and imaging with drones.
We provide support services in day and night surveillance and control devices with police, civil guard and forest agents.
- Expert reports
- Preventive surveillance
- Decrease in the number of fires
- Early detection
- Evidence record
