Sanborn is pioneering the development of new geospatial products and services for the emerging Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). Sanborn has developed a production environment for cloud-based data processing from third- party (Client) acquired data.

Sanborn has conducted multiple projects supporting geospatial data processing for:

  • Supplemental surveying and mapping for engineering, transportation
  • Asset inspections and monitoring for energy/utilities/telecommunications
  • Inspections and volumetric calculations for mining
  • Quantity tracking, fulfillment verification, and schedule tracking for architecture and construction

  • Crop and ecological monitoring for environmental and agriculture applications
  • Integrated incident management functionality for security and first responders
  • Damage assets from natural disasters for insurance and government

Sanborn has developed the capabilities to deliver products from data (images and video) collected from UAS platforms, including imagery/video products, DEM products, vector products and analytic products.

UAS Data Processing

Sanborn supports multiple data processing workflows:

  • Automated geo-referencing, aerial triangulation and survey densification
  • Imagery based surface, terrain and contour modeling
  • Lidar calibration and classifications
  • Imagery and video geocoding

  • Ortho imagery processing
  • 3D rendering and visualization fly through
  • Feature extraction
  • Semi-automated asset degradation assessment
  • Thermography

UAS Data Processing

The products can be delivered to the customer in the desired formats, projection, datum and units in any of the following delivery platforms:

  • Cloud solution, has Sanborn has developed comprehensive web-based platforms and tools that allow for product dissemination and consumption utilizing a cloud-based system. Sanborn’s sophisticated IT infrastructure allows customers to access their datasets seamlessly through secure password protected access arrangements.
  • Hard media, such as CD, hard-disk, or thumb drive
  • FTP, as the smaller size of the UAS datasets allows for electronic transfers
