Vegetation Assessment Along Waterbodies Completed with SimActive

Even in challenging environments for photogrammetry along waterbodies, the software allows for the creation of accurate surfaces, point clouds and orthomosaics.

Austin Scheib, ASPRS Certified UAS pilot, acquires imagery and creates map products of lakeshore properties with a fleet of drones. The growth of water-based vegetation, such as reeds and lily pads, can pose challenges for landowners who want to maintain access to the water for boating and fishing.

“Rising temps and water quality can rapidly increase overgrowth along lakeshore properties”, said Austin Scheib, ASPRS Certified UAS pilot. “I have found Correlator3D to be the best solution when it comes to dealing with mapping near water.”
