We

can

capture the highest resolution images, where you want them and when you want them. So if you

need to record landscape and habitats, photograph buildings and estates, monitor wildlife, check

crop condition, capture archaeological dig images, document construction projects, monitor utility

infrastructure or just need some amazing views of your property then read on...

About our mini-plane

Our mini-plane weighs just 500g (1.1 lbs), has a wing span of less of than 1m and a near silent

electric motor that allows it to fly at up to 50km / hr and capture up to 1km2 in a single flight.

The mini-plane is autonomous and is pre-programmed with a series of waypoints and altitudes and

photo locations. Although we can assume manual control, the mini-plane will take off, fly,

photograph and safely land without further intervention – amazing technology!

About Us Knowledge

OLQï ï ï KÉëÇãÇ~í~KÅçKì âL~éë

We are a well-respected environmental, IT and mapping company of some 15 years standing. Our

clients include the National Trust, the Forestry Commission, Natural England, English Heritage, the

RSPB, etc. plus over 150 local authorities and many smaller and charitable trusts and organisations.

What makes us different?

The price - Up to 8km2 in a day for £400 plus travel expenses (at cost) - that's £50/km2.

The silence - Our mini-plane has a near-silent electric motor.

The flying - The mini-plane is autonomous, that is we pre-program it onsite with flight path, height

and photo details. It even knows when to head for home if it starts to run low on power.

The outputs - Not only do we supply the photos, we process them into rectified 'photo maps' that

can be used in 'geographic information systems' or overlaid in Google Earth. (Normal photo mosaics

don't allow this as the inherent distortions mean that the photos don't match up with the

corresponding mapped features.)

Picture processing

The mini-plane carries a 12 megapixel camera with an 'on the ground' resolution up to 3cm!

The plane provides a stable platform and can automatically plan and capture a mosaic of

overlapping images. More importantly though, detailed information on the plane's altitude, height

and location (using an on-board GPS) is captured with every photo and using advanced image

processing we can supply you with aerial maps - mosaics of photos stitched together and rectified

to provide images that map correctly to the ground.

We can also rectify (or orthorectify) and register your photos so they can be used directly within

your GIS (Geographic Information System) or overlaid in Google Earth.

We can even go one step further and just using the captured images can create 3D terrain

imagery.

Because we rectify the distortions that come with normal aerial images and also register the

images to turn them into 'aerial maps', we can overlay your photos so that you can view them on

the web.
