A r t i c l e And the end result is… Once we have completed all data capture and processing the LiDAR and aerial imagery is added into our data archive as part of the product line called BlomMETRO. This creates a high specification suite of aerial survey data products, with the core of the database being the 4cm GSD aerial photography and 1 point/m² LiDAR, creating a unique and up-to-date dataset of urban areas (see Figure 2). However, it doesn’t have to end there. What if, on top of the core product, we could provide derivative or value-added products? Well that’s exactly what we have done. From the aerial survey data five categories of sub products will be available. False colour and near infra red imagery is categorised as MetroSOURCE. This provides vital information for what can generally be categorized as environmental studies and this data is often used in coastal and environmental monitoring, crop and tree canopy management and deforestation studies. Exploiting our extensive experience in photogrammetry we use the stereo pairs captured with our Vexcel UltraCam to create 3D city models, and lastly, we have produced MetroINSIGHT. This is a value-added product designed to complement the core data with miscellaneous information such as flood risk modeling, or our solar potential analysis as used by Bristol City Council. As the economies of scale dictate, BlomMETRO is focused on the larger urban areas across the UK.

SPARPo o intGroup. com/ Europe 8 ethos of supplying exactly what the customer requires, areas that are not currently in the program can be captured on a project by project basis. Many targets have already been captured and more are in the pipeline and a regular refresh program to keep the data as up-to-date as possible. Conclusion The complexities of simultaneous data capture, especially whilst captured in a high speed, high altitude environment, provide many challenges, and it’s largely due to the resources and experience that Blom has that make this not only possible, but a more effective and efficient method for both us and the end user. Reducing the time we spend flying not only reduces our costs, which we are then able to pass on to the end user, but also offers CO2 savings, always an important consideration in the present climate. Secondary to these savings, dual capture also ensures that we can offer multiple data sets created from data of the same age. For example, this can prove important when used as analysis for insurance claims or inspection of transport routes. Lastly, collating this data into a package, such as BlomMETRO, ensures that Blom is always able to offer a comprehensive data set of any urban area, no matter what the clients photographic and LiDAR needs are.
