ORTHOMOSAIC IMAGING
Comprehensive Aerial Mapping: High-Resolution Insights
Orthomosaic imaging creates high-resolution, map-quality images by combining numerous smaller aerial photos into a seamless, geometrically accurate overview of the terrain. These detailed maps provide valuable insights into fire evolution, remaining fuel sources, camp and crew positions, pump sites, and other critical features.
​
At Aerial Innovations, our orthomosaic maps offer comprehensive aerial perspectives that enable Incident Command teams to make informed and strategic decisions. By delivering precise and up-to-date information, these maps enhance resource allocation and support effective wildfire suppression efforts.
Cloud Mapping
Aerial Innovations utilizes cutting-edge drone operations management platforms capable of constructing orthomosaic maps in real time as data is acquired, providing an instant, updated aerial view of the fire.​
Available to be viewed by those in command and rendered into a hard copy to be included in incident action plans.
The Value of a Wildfire Database
Maintaining a georeferenced historical database of orthomosaic wildfire maps provides long-term benefits for wildfire management. These records allow for detailed interpretation of past fire behavior, helping to identify trends and patterns that can inform future firefighting strategies. Historical data also supports environmental monitoring, enabling agencies to track recovery and assess the impact of suppression efforts. By preserving this information, Incident Command teams gain a powerful tool for planning, training, and improving overall wildfire response.
