Environmental Control and Surveillance
Environmental Control and Surveillance
The use of RPAS or DRONES allows the observation of large spaces from a privileged perspective, even during night hours, and compare their evolution over time. In addition, they are a much more ecological option, since the RPAS or DRONES do not generate polluting emissions. And all this with costs much lower than those that would involve the use of traditional media. The possibility that Fuerteventura Drones
offers to capture all types of aerial images (photo and video 4K and FHD, thermal and multispectral) open a wide range of application possibilities for environmental monitoring and control:
Environmental Impact Studies:
essential before the execution of any major work or infrastructure that may have a minimal impact on its environment, in many cases being one of the determining parameters. From the aerial capture of images in 4K and FHD and its treatment with specific photogrammetric software, simulations of high precision 3D models can be obtained.
Control of water resources and degradation zones:
it allows to control and analyze the state of hydrographic basins and to know the state of regulation or driving infrastructures. It is possible to evaluate both the level of water reserves and the erosion zones and their evolution over time. Likewise, by means of simulations of 3D models, flood risk areas can be evaluated.
Forest monitoring and fire control:
in this aspect, one of the main advantages of RPAS or DRON with respect to traditional aerial means is that they can fly even at night, which makes it a great tool for media management of extinction available. It facilitates the redistribution of the terrestrial media in function of the evolution of the fire during the night, improving the efficiency of the same ones and reducing significantly the necessary time to control a fire.
Control of discharges and waste storage:
thanks to thermal and multispectral images captured by onboard sensors aboard RPAS or DRONES it is possible to determine and control illegal discharges or detect and monitor uncontrolled landfills, which pose a serious environmental danger due to the possibility of contamination of soils and aquifers. They allow the monitoring of possible sources of contamination, the evaluation of the damages produced and their repercussion on the Environment over time. In addition, the topographic applications offered by Fuerteventura Drones
are a very useful tool in the closure and closure of landfills.
Hunting and poaching surveillance
Study of animal species: thanks to the fact that drones do not generate significant pollutant emissions (neither sound nor waste), they have become the ideal tool for the observation and study of wild or endangered species without disturbing their natural habitat , being able to be used even in the observation of nocturnal habits by means of the use of thermal sensors. Likewise, they make possible the control of invasive species, planning of elimination measures and evaluation of the results.
