1 GIS relies upon access to content. Flightline Geographics use of UAS to capture, process and deliver GIS content in near real time is a real game-changer. Esri President Jack Dangermond Devon Humphrey Flightline Geographics, Austin, Texas

2 History of Ghost Ranch The ORIGINAL Dude Ranch in Abiquiu, NM is over 21,000 acres Site of many major motion pictures - Indiana Jones & Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Cowboys & Aliens - No Country for Old Men - 3:10 to Yuma - The Lone Ranger - Wyatt Earp - Wild Wild West - City Slickers Home of artist Georgia O Keefe

3 The challenge Major flash flood in 2015 damaged ranch facilities Hydrology Study requires high definition 3D terrain and imagery for GIS Must be affordable and within budget Oh, by the way we need it FAST!

4 Client had a need for high definition GIS content Better data, within budget and fast these three things do not normally go together! UAS engineering grade GIS data Survey grade ground control Highest quality cameras for 3D HD imagery Everything must be GIS-ready

5 Flightline Geographics has the experience to deliver Having over 30 years in GIS and over 10 years in UAS, we accepted the challenge DOD, Government and University UAS gave us a head start on the technology MILSPEC GIS-centric platform was the best tool for the job Higher quality cameras produced the detail that was required

6 The workflow How do we capture aerial GIS data in such a challenging environment?

7 Flight planning using ArcGIS Desktop Esri GIS technology is core to our entire workflow Flight planning for airspace approval Terrain avoidance Flight altitudes Flight simulation Know before you go!

8 The Platform Why MILSPEC UAS? Reliable Robust Redundant Safety features GIS-centric (We actually use ArcGIS to fly the plane by clicking with the mouse right on the map!)

9 The Sensor COTS camera with high quality wide angle lens Sony A5100 Voigtlander super-wide lens 24MP ALL NADIR (straight-down) shots!

10 Ground Control Points Survey-grade results require survey-grade ground control Selection of GCP locations in GIS before the trip Placement using Collector as a guide Surveyor followed along to take GPS readings

11 UAS capture day Time to fly and capture the area of interest Ground control Pre-flight checks Fly! Single 60 minute flight 1000 acres 80% overlap

12 The processing Combination of tools used to provide various required deliverables High resolution image base map for GIS (2 ) 3D.LAS point cloud Digital Terrain Model (true DEM) Elevation contours at 12 contour interval

13 The results High definition awesomeness!

14 How does it look? Quality GIS visualization of a High Definition geospatial dataset

15 How does it look? Viewable by both GIS or non-gis professionals

16 How does it look? The 3D reconstruction actually sees UNDER the bridge!

17 How does it look? Capture, processing and delivery on an expedited basis (2 days) and within budget!

18 The lessons learned UAS mapping provided higher quality at a lower price and with faster delivery time (Our version)
