AVIATION INDUSTRY

VISUAL SIMULATION

Using imagery for flight simulation refers to the process of incorporating real-world imagery into flight simulation software to create more realistic training environments for pilots. The imagery is used to create detailed, accurate representations of the airport and surrounding area, including the layout of runways, taxiways, buildings, and other airport infrastructure.

Imagery can be used to create both the visual and the terrain representation of the airport, creating a more realistic and true to life simulation environment. High-resolution imagery and/or 3D models of the airport can be used to create detailed representations of the airport and surrounding area, including the layout of runways, taxiways, and other airport infrastructure. The use of real-world imagery in flight simulation can improve the realism of the training environment and help pilots to better understand and learn how to navigate real-world airports.

To generate the data, the imagery can be collected from different sources, such as satellite imagery, aerial imagery from aircraft, or images from ground-level photography. There are also specialized software tools that can process the images and convert them into 3D models that can be used in flight simulation software.

This technology can be used for flight simulation for training purposes for pilots, air traffic controllers, or aircraft maintenance staff. Furthermore, it also can help airlines, aircraft manufacturers and airports in the design, testing and certification of new aircraft or changes in the infrastructure.

AIRPORT MAPPING

Airport drone mapping is the process of using drones to create detailed maps of an airport and its surrounding area. The use of drones allows for the efficient and cost-effective collection of aerial imagery and other data that can be used to create detailed maps of the airport infrastructure, including runways, taxiways, buildings, and other airport facilities.

Drones can be equipped with a variety of different types of sensors and cameras, such as high-resolution cameras, thermal imaging cameras, and lidar sensors, which can be used to capture detailed images and data about the airport and its surroundings. This data can then be processed and used to create 2D or 3D maps that provide detailed information about the airport's infrastructure, including its layout, topography, and the location of obstacles or other features that may pose a danger to aircraft during takeoff or landing.

Airport drone mapping can be used for a variety of different purposes, including:

• Planning and design of new airport infrastructure

• Safety and compliance inspections of existing infrastructure

• Asset management and inventory

• Identifying potential issues such as cracks or deformation in runways

Drone mapping can be done in a more efficient and cost-effective way compared to traditional survey methods, and also with more precision and accuracy. Furthermore, using drones to map airports allows for collection of data that would be difficult or impossible to obtain otherwise such as restricted areas or heights, reducing the risk of accidents.
