CASE STUDY

WORKFLOW

ADS has many aircraft stationed across the US and Hawaii. Mobilization is minimized by using the aircraft nearest the project site. Using a Phase One PAS 280 camera, a much larger image footprint is captured while maintaining the needed high resolution. Prior to departure, all necessary checks including verification of flight plans are completed. After acquisition, the imagery is then imported into Correlator3D for processing in Phase One’s native compressed IIQ format.

Since these are projects that take place on a recurring basis, the team has already created pre-configured workflows to extract the deliverables they need. A script is then executed to run the processing. Once processing is complete, the resulting data is checked for quality and prepared for delivery to the client.  

DELIVERABLES

Typical deliverables consist of a high-resolution digital terrain model (DTM), a digital surface model (DSM) and an orthomosaic.

BENEFITS

The benefits of using Correlator3D according to ADS are the ability to work with the latest camera technology and formats, its ease of use, and the speed at which it processes data. With these types of projects being visited multiple times per year, the ability to script recurring projects in Correlator3D ensures consistent and reliable process.
