Title UAV Photogrammetry Workflow for Supporting Nature-Based Solutions Visualization
Summary In Physi, drones are expected to solve a key issue in the visualization and data collection for decision-making. The use of the technology is going to create the “foundation” for further calculations on the impact of Nature Based Solutions (NBS). The so-called “foundation” is a tridimensional model generated from the geotagged pictures taken with a drone during an automated flight process over the project’s area. Physi aspires to use the 3D model to apply NBS elements and initiate endeavors for the calculation of the NBS impact. For example, it is possible to take real measures in the 3D model, hence calculating areas. Combining the measures with the calculation of the impact of a specific NBS, Physi will have a powerful tool for decision-making and evaluating project opportunities.
The tridimensional model of a project area can be explored in various ways. The new workflow and technology are indeed useful and can innovate how the company works. The information that the project brings for the decision-maker is related to two key questions: Should Physi run the drone operations in-house or outsource the service? Each way will have different implications such as regulatory, financial and operational.
