Disaster Management
Check out this example aerial dataset collected after the 2025 Texas flooding, demonstrating the value of fast turnaround in post processing.
This pointcloud covers an area of 1500 acres around Sandy Creek, flooded on July 5th of 2025. See here for a report by Austin PBS from July 17th. Use the following cloud viewer to visualize ~3 billion points, collected during a 3 hour flight of an R44 with a combined LiDAR/EO payload. This dataset was processed in 4 hours after the flight, and can now be used to check for
- blocked roadways
- collapsed bridges
- damaged powerlines
- land erosion
- damaged or destroyed houses
