The advancement in aircraft and sensor technology has completely transformed the remote sensing industry. Data acquisition can be done without the cost of deploying a human in a helicopter or airplane! We can increase safety and data density while lowering our client’s costs. Deploying state of the art technology, Elevate produces incredible results that are guaranteed to meet or exceed your project specifications. Often supporting businesses or public agencies that have established internal aerial service programs, Elevate has experience operating in extreme environments with a proven track record and generating exceptional data on time and under budget.
Welcome to the new frontier of remote sensing! New technology offers new capabilities. Often creating new methodologies for novel data products that have never been realized by traditional remote sensing service companies. A few ways in which Elevate’s services are superior to traditional remote sensing methods:
- Lower cost (at scale)
- Higher resolution
- Faster data delivery
- More innovative solutions
- Customizable deliverables
With cutting-edge tech, Elevate delivers outstanding results that exceed your project expectations.
Depending on a project’s needs and size, Elevate will outcompete any traditional airborne solution. Some of the solutions Elevate offers, are not even available through traditional methods. For example, there is currently no airborne solution (helicopter or airplane) for economically capturing oblique aerial LiDAR that can match Elevate’s safety and data quality. Take a look at our various aerial solutions and reach out to learn more about how we can develop an innovative solution for your next project.
Our Aerial Services
Imagery
Many of your project needs could be resolved through high resolution imagery, and the data analysis that can come from it. Elevate can collect high resolution imagery in the visual (red, green, blue) spectrum at competitive prices, especially when compared to traditional airborne solutions.
LiDAR
When it comes to understanding topography, LiDAR is the most reliable and accurate solution in the toolbox. The advancement in this technology has brought down the cost for this solution, making it more economical. Laser scanning is the most reliable method for mapping topography.
Infrared
Infrared (or “thermal IR”) imaging can be used to determine temperature variations across a site or object. This technology allows for deeper understanding of the environment by detecting thermal highs and lows. The perspective gained from this innovative technology can rapidly communicate critical information to project managers interested in better understanding their project.
Geophysical
This non-destructive investigative technology is useful in exploring the subsurface with limited risk. Mapping variations in a site’s electromagnetic characteristics can be used to locate and document what is out of sight and underground. In particular, multi-method analysis of the site is useful for tackling challenges of unique or non-standard investigations.
Bathymetry
Subaqueous spatial imaging can increase insight into site conditions. This data is collected via autonomous vehicle sonar or bathymetric LiDAR depending on site conditions and client applications. This data can be integrated into models that include other spatial data, such as traditional LiDAR of an exposed surface or geophysical measurements, to create a complete 3D view of the subject area.
