While drones provide a unique perspective through photography and video, drone forensics can take this imagery to another level by retrieving metadata such as GPS locations and thermal temperature readings. Even the smallest piece of information discovered through using drone forensic tools could help shed new light on an investigation. Forensics goes well beyond the physical elements you can see with the naked eye. The data recovered by UAVs can dig beneath the surface in a home inspection, paint a more detailed picture during an investigation, and collect more precise measurements for services such as 3D modeling. https://svaerialconsult.com/thermal-drone-inspection-case-study daily 0.75 2021-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/1631050930635-HOS8AUU5B77F4SZT1F5C/SV-Aerial-Thermal-Drone-Inspection-Case-Study-Figure-1.jpg Case Study: Thermal Drone Inspection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/1631051013844-DQBWOAAKH8VOR9DHIMLL/SV-Aerial-Thermal-Drone-Inspection-Case-Study-Figure-2.jpg Case Study: Thermal Drone Inspection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/1631051109478-2EP1BH106G2TKSDK9FER/SV-Aerial-Thermal-Drone-Inspection-Case-Study-Figure-3.jpg Case Study: Thermal Drone Inspection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/1631051274981-ADN0V0EQTFV044MHNGV6/SV-Aerial-Thermal-Drone-Inspection-Case-Study-Figure-4.jpg Case Study: Thermal Drone Inspection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/1631051405282-NTEQF8FK08JHKC0C9R37/SV-Aerial-Thermal-Drone-Inspection-Case-Study-Figure-5.jpg Case Study: Thermal Drone Inspection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/1631051462878-527PZJ8H233WR0OCDTCE/SV-Aerial-Thermal-Drone-Inspection-Case-Study-Figure-6.jpg Case Study: Thermal Drone Inspection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/1631051616688-Z9TER453N1FL4V2D70PJ/SV-Aerial-Thermal-Drone-Inspection-Case-Study-Figure-7.jpg Case Study: Thermal Drone Inspection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/1631051675046-NZRIFSVJEFV0PTG4VUVB/SV-Aerial-Thermal-Drone-Inspection-Case-Study-Figure-8.jpg Case Study: Thermal Drone Inspection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/1631054162951-3Q75SDRE2413X7IALM57/SV-Aerial-Thermal-Drone-Inspection-Case-Study-Figure-9.jpg Case Study: Thermal Drone Inspection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/1631054322172-QKGV43MKJKGV35Q7UZI1/SV-Aerial-Thermal-Drone-Inspection-Case-Study-Figure-10.jpg Case Study: Thermal Drone Inspection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/1631109173036-TL5BIBR1AF6Z9OB9I846/SV-Aerial-Thermal-Drone-Inspection-Weather-Icon.png Case Study: Thermal Drone Inspection - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/1631108470963-Q13KV5O4HE43K2C8E4JO/SV-Aerial-Thermal-Drone-Inspection-Study-Results-Icon.png Case Study: Thermal Drone Inspection - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/1631055157230-3I63D07E4V1UJ8GTLBIW/SV-Aerial-Thermal-Drone-Camera-Image.jpg Case Study: Thermal Drone Inspection - Case Study Conclusion SV Aerial & Consulting highlighted some areas where potential heat loss is occurring. Other areas on the roof of the building are holding moisture under the aggregate of the roof. We recommended a roof examination by a qualified agency to determine if the moisture retained in the aggregate could cause other problems such as mold. SV Aerial & Consulting also recommended examining the windows around the doors at the north and west entrances as well as around the kitchen door. Weather stripping around all doors and windows could help reduce the amount of heat loss in these locations. Additional insulation in the doors or new windows may also be very beneficial to reduce heat loss. https://svaerialconsult.com/thermal-drone-services daily 0.75 2021-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/1631121102814-EPG4HYYEHCN1YEFTB1Y9/SV-Aerial-Thermal-Drone-Services-Icon.png Thermal Drone Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/1631121121454-X0F7F9Q0YB0CEV9D608Z/SV-Aerial-Thermal-Drone-Services-Icon.png Thermal Drone Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/1631123770246-5EI14N96PG510XUWFP1Q/SV-Aerial-Thermal-Drone-Services-Thermal-Imagery-Pic.jpg Thermal Drone Services https://svaerialconsult.com/accident-reconstruction-experts-in-des-moines-iowa daily 0.75 2021-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/d61e87c4-335d-48db-b162-844560e62e1c/SV-Aerial-Traffic-Accident-Image.png Accident Reconstruction Experts in Des Moines, Iowa | SV Aerial & Consulting - What evidence is used in accident reconstruction? How is accident reconstruction done in Des Moines, IA? Essentially, reconstructing a crash scene is the scientific process used to answer the following questions: How did this traffic accident happen? Why did this traffic accident occur? Traditional accident reconstruction consists of visual evidence such as traffic camera videos and crash scene photography combined with physical evidence, the victims’ statements, and any eyewitness’ accounts. And while all of these factors are still primary components of determining the blame for a collision, drone accident reconstruction is extremely detailed, reliable, and efficient. Over the years, data collected by our drone experts has been used to strengthen the case of many attorneys and insurance companies in Des Moines, IA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/fa15f95c-55ba-4103-ac70-283233fa556b/SV-Aerial-Traffic-Accident-Reconstruction-Question-Icon-1.png Accident Reconstruction Experts in Des Moines, Iowa | SV Aerial & Consulting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/982fdc66-dbe0-46b9-a206-cb8de565711e/SV-Aerial-Traffic-Accident-Reconstruction-Question-Icon-2.png Accident Reconstruction Experts in Des Moines, Iowa | SV Aerial & Consulting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://svaerialconsult.com/thermal-drone-inspection-near-des-moines-iowa daily 0.75 2022-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6851bb79d10117bb650871/d16539f5-9f51-4937-829f-c7a01d5bce1d/Drone-Thermal-Camera-SV-Aerial.jpg Thermal Drone Inspection Near Des Moines, Iowa | SV Aerial & Consulting - WHAT IS DRONE THERMAL IMAGERY? Every object or location with a temperature above absolute zero emits infrared energy. Thermal imaging is the process of detecting this infrared energy and converting it into a heat reading. For the purpose of a thermal drone inspection, our infrared camera is mounted to a UAV that we use to fly over infrastructure in order to detect heat.
