Case study: Rapid acquisition of lava flow

The Challenge

• In emergency situations, time-sensitive geospatial data must be collected and processed in a rapid and efficient manner while maintaining consistency and quality.  

RMH Solution

• We can mobilize to any site in the main Hawaiian islands in less than 8 hours. This includes not only the ferrying time for the aircraft but also time for flight planning and logistics.

• The ability to take our portable camera systems as carry-on luggage allow us to travel to remote sites and install them on local aircraft.

• The efficiency of our rapid response data collection and processing is increased by our capacity for aerial triangulation and direct georeferencing using the airborne GPS/IMU data. This is especially advantageous in situations where obtaining ground control points would be too time consuming or even dangerous..
