Remote Geosystems Adds Support for Commercial UAV Video

Remote GeoSystems is now offering direct support in all of its LineVision cloud, server and desktop applications for video from the DJI Inspire 1 unmanned aerial vehicle. The new LineVision capability gives DJI Inspire 1 operators and pilots the ability to create and deliver interactive professional-grade video inspection and survey work products using GIS software such as Esri ArcGIS, Bing Maps and Google Earth.

DJI Inspire 1 users need to enable .SRT file logging while recording video during flight. Post-flight, LineVision allows users to load or upload the video and GPS track to a map. As the video plays, a cursor moves along the GPS track on the map, constantly indicating where and when the current video view was captured based on GPS data logged during the mission.

Users can geographically navigate the video recordings by clicking any of the points along the GPS track on a map.  The video then automatically advances or reverses to that point in the video so that analysts and subject-matter experts can visually interpret what was recorded at that specific place and time.

In addition to FMV, LineVision features import/upload and “one-click” geo-referencing of nearly any kind of rich media including photos, audio and electronic documents or files such as PDF, Microsoft Office and CAD files.

LineVision features flexible mapping options allowing users to incorporate and “stream” background maps and data layers from your enterprise GIS and third-party map service providers. All these imported data types can be saved in a Remote GeoSystems .geoProject file for data portability and future analysis in LineVision software.

The Remote GeoSystems technology has been developed commercially and independent of defense programs, making it easier for non-military customers outside the U.S. and around the globe to acquire the applications and expertise without having to go through the often lengthy ITAR export process.
