2020 has certainly been an interesting year, to say the least. We would like to thank our customers for their perseverance in these tumultuous times. We would also like to recognize their use of geospatial data and analytics to find new ways to solve many of the world’s most challenging problems such as responding... Read More >

Using LiDAR & Deep Learning for Railroad Maintenance and Asset Management

5/1/2019

As LiDAR sensors continue to evolve, they are now finding themselves in spaces that were traditionally using only Imagery sensors due to the cost to collect. These LiDAR sensors are now small enough to be flown on a DJI PRO or compact enough to be quickly coupled to the front of a Locomotive and collecting as a train takes its normal... Read More >

Utilizing free satellite imagery to focus maintenance efforts in rail corridors

10/29/2018

As sources of free satellite imagery like Sentinel-2 from ESA become more widely available, they will offer a unique ability to focus efforts for UAS collects and teams being fielded for maintenance efforts along rail corridors. Using the spectral information being collected by Sentinel-2 every 5 days and ENVI’s spectral analysis tools,... Read More >
