UAS for GIS – High Definition Content on Demand
Track: UAV's and Mobile Mapping
Authors: Devon Humphrey
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) provides high definition detail and an up-to-date base map for a variety of disciplines. This case study features a disaster response to the 2015 Memorial Day Flash Flood in Wimberley, Texas. The Federally-declared disaster involved an historic 500 year flood on a holiday weekend. Once a GIS COP was implemented for the response, better data was needed. UAS was used to capture, process and deliver 1” imagery with next-day turn-around for the search and rescue effort.
