The baseline and responsive documentation-and immediate dissemination-of technical (aerial, hyperspectral, etc.) imagery of flooding is tremendously practical.
Forensic LiDAR and “engineering grade” or “survey grade” LiDAR (LASER Scanning) are very different things. Applications in which engineering and survey LiDAR conventions are manifestly deficient include litigation and its ADR cousins (mediation, arbitration, etc.).
Standards Agencies (ANSI, ASTM, ASNT, NFPA, NETA, etc.) and insurance companies presently advocate for thermography, effective training, and relevant certification. Standards Agencies and insurance companies influence law at all levels. For example, 29 CFR 1910.333(a) “drew heavily from the 2000 edition of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 70E) and the 2002 edition of the National Electrical Code.”
We’re looking forward to having almost 100 little planets of noteworthy subjects around Idaho completed in 2019.
The images below represent some interesting results from both vertical (orthogonal) and oblique aerial thermography throughout 2018.
The EPA has established a Heat Island Reduction Program (HIRP) and expressed that it is useful for communities in the preparation of projects, programs, and policies. While this language is nurturing vice systemizing, the statement is contained in a section titled “What EPA is Doing to Reduce Heat Islands.” An intent is obvious, and it must be considered that EPA is not a hobbyist organization.
For the FLIR T10xx camera series lenses typically offer very low focal length ratios. The common 36mm/28°HFOV lens aperture is fixed at f1.15, while the less common 83.4mm/12°HFOV lens is fixed at f1.2.
It is a generally accepted principle to adjust the “exposure” of professional thermograms so that the bulk of the selected palette range is confined to features of interest in order to produce the finest representation of their thermal patterning.
