METROMAP – SIMPLIFYING GIS

By Spatial Source on 22 April, 2021

RAPID CAPTURE FOR RAPID DECISION MAKING

Aerometrex runs a rapid capture service that adds imagery to MetroMap quickly for clients, and optional shared intellectual property arrangements will mean those images are hosted on the public MetroMap platform. Clients are delivered the imagery through the same MetroMap platform accessed by all users.

An insurance company requested Aerometrex’s rapid orthoimagery capture service in Queensland, which was processed and added to MetroMap following tropical storms. Their staff then used MetroMap to assess storm damage to houses quickly and accurately. The imagery is detailed enough to see individual damage spots on roofs, or smashed solar panels requiring replacement. That data expedited insurance claims during a period of high requests.

Rapid captures are made over bushfire affected areas too. Within days, a plane can capture thousands of square kilometres, and the Aerometrex processing team can have the imagery ready for government and private industry to assess large areas on MetroMap. Again, that aerial data makes large scale assessment faster so the response can be sooner.
