UGCS INNOVATIONS LAND SURVEYING AIRBORNE SYSTEMS

L.O.R. & TOPO

Waypoint Navigation

By using the UGCSWaypoint Navigation, larger areas can be surveyed automatically. A notebook, notebook or tablet can be connected to the Mobile Ground Station to direct the flight system in a map. Matrix patterns can be set up with defined parameters for the generation of up-to-date maps or 3D reconstructions.

Waypoints and Paths

In the UGCS Ground Station’s Status Display, you can save the current position, height and orientation of the flight system. This exact position can later be flown to semi-automatically. Multiple SURVEY TARGETS can be stored in a path and that complete path can be executed in later flights. The TRAVERSE POINT t list only shows current SURVEY POINTS in a reachable distance BECAUSE OF BATERY CONSUMPTION , which makes the display very tidy. An excellent function to have, especially when documenting progress on construction sites.

Panoramic Photos

You can create cylindrical and even spherical panoramic photos at the current position without any further input. A full spherical panorama with 72 images can be shot in just 3-4 minutes! The DJI S1000,M600,inspire 1&2 LAND SURVEYING UAS/UAV allows for very high definition photos without rotors in sight in all directions.

Point of Interest (POI)

The easiest way to photograph or Survey objects from all directions is with the Point & Click function. All that is required is to fly above the object and mark it in flight. The camera will now always orientate itself towards the object. You do not have to control camera tilt or pan. This feature can even be combined with the waypoint and path function to create stunning camera flights with the desired object always on screen. Slight manual corrections of the POI’s position are always possible, however an abrupt interference will easily put the system back into normal flight mode.

TRAVERSE POINTS (CNTRL PNTS)

This is an automated function for SCANNING around an object, for example to create 3D models. First, the object is easily marked in flight. The pilot then directs the flight system to the desired distance, height and camera view, defines the angular variation and activates camera. UGCS UAS/UAV SYSTEMS ID’S THE TARGET marked object is automatically scanned and takes pictures from precisely defined positions.



Falcon Vision UAV patrols now feature the latest tablet computers and PC
ground Stations running highly detailed mapping software. Our clients supply us their network routes in GIS format, which we then load onto our computers. All data gathered is then fed into the computer in real-time by our linesmen. Once the survey is complete the gathered data is then loaded into the clients data base and used accordingly

Visual Power Line Inspections by Helicopter

One of our core activities within our power line division is a detailed visual engineering inspection by air. This is carried out using trained overhead power line engineers, flying at low level.

This type of survey gives a unique birds eye view of the entire asset and allows assessment of:

• Pole top rot
• Insulator damage
• Signing and guarding
• ESQCR issues
• Conductor damage
• Steelwork
• Vegetation



Inspections can cover ranges of between 120 – 170km per day, a much larger area than a foot survey could ever achieve.

Peter Fonseca enjoys a successful partnership with Wallcom & Wallcom providing the organization with role-equipped octo copters and experienced pilots.

Amtrak is responsible for maintaining, running and developing the USA railway network, signaling systems, rail bridges, tunnels, level crossings and viaducts.

Our role was to equip aircrafts with high technology camera systems that could be operated by experienced rail personnel, allowing them to patrol and survey the North America’s rail network and undertake diagnostic infrastructure inspections.

UAS/UAV Surveys

Falcon Vision UAV have the experience, equipment and personnel to deliver the highest standards in helicopter surveys anywhere in North America . We offer an unparalleled range of aircraft and sensor technology, ideal for basic visual survey to high technology multi-sensor surveys.

Through our knowledgeable team of pilots, camera operators and observers and we can plan, manage and complete a successful and efficiently run aerial survey of any level.

We also offer the latest tablet computers running Land Surveying and 3d Scanning GIS software, this allows our electricity based surveys to take full advantage of high resolution mapping with detailed data base information.
