3D Modelling with thermal imaging
By taking 100’s of thermal images and tuning them, it is possible to recreate the subject using photogrammetry. This is a great tool for displaying where heat loss is occurring from a building for example. In the future it would be nice if the model is...
UAV Thermography for Solar PV – invaluable data.
UAV thermal inspection of Solar PV displays almost all you need to know as to the health of your solar asset. A site that has been 100% thermally inspected can reveal all kinds of information from Inverter / string outages or reversed polarity, down to sub-module...
Solar UAV thermography – Another Level.
The IEC are soon to announce the technical standard for the inspection and testing of solar PV modules and standard will require Level 1 and 2 certifications in thermography, for the inspection of PV modules and for the issuance of inspection report. We...
Wind Turbine inspections by UAV’s
Wind turbine inspections sales and services global revenue is predicted to reach $6 billion by 2024, according to Navigant Research . There are 270,000 wind turbine blades already in service. When considering future installations, it’s not hard to see...
Photogrammetry for 3D modelling
By taking multiple overlapping photographs during a planned flight, it is possible to recreate a near perfect scale 3D model of a building or area of land. This is not only pretty cool to play with, and always gets people interacting, but can have many uses for...
It’s not worth the risk
UAV’s and drones are massively popular already and their use is exploding. Professionals undertake intensive training and know what they can and cant do, but consumers and hobbyists may be able to buy a drone and not be informed of the regulations, some of which...
the next big thing? what’s your point of view?
360 degree is poised to be the next big thing in video. The sense of immersion you get from being able to control where you look whilst the video is playing is fascinating and fun. The effect is powerful enough just on a 2D screen or tablet, but video can also be...
