Our RDT G2 Radiometric Analysis Tools are deployed to combat the raging forest fires across Canada in the Spring / Summer of 2023.
More information coming soon …….
“During this investigation photographs and information gathered by the drone were sent to Robinson for analysis. He was able to give me an area to look for this possible burial. During the search of this location human remains were located.”
Imagery captured by aircraft and RPAS pilots using the ASIS is submitted for spectro-analysis using a newly acquired software called Loc8. “This software allows an operator to scan images collected post‑flight for specific colours,” remarks Gord Tessier, Director of Research and Development Communications at CASARA Ontario. “Once a potential search object is located, the geotag from the photo, along with terrain matching, allows search teams to find missing aircraft, watercraft, or persons more quickly.”
The 5-acre lot next to Craig McVeay’s house is empty, except for the sand, rock and sagebrush common in Pahrump, Nevada. The 57-year-old Homeland Security retiree takes a few articles of clothing from a box destined for Goodwill and scatters them across the open space one afternoon.
He lays a pair of jeans out on the ground, places hats and shirts around the brush. The items look discarded, remnants, or clues one might look for if they were combing the wilderness for a body.
McVeay goes back into his house, flies two drones over the lot and runs the footage on his computer equipped with software that automatically analyzes the imagery. It’s work that, up to this point, he has been doing manually. “And it hit on every piece of clothing that I put out,” McVeay told me over the phone, a little incredulous. “It was,” he pauses for a moment, “it was pretty neat.”
Congratulations to our good friends in Warsaw, Poland on another successful search for an elderly dementia patient. RDT was heavily utilized and narrowed down the search area for them on this moving subject. Keep up the great work Dębe Wielki Volunteer Fire Brigade !!
