What we can do for you
| All of our customers have unique infrastructures and data management
systems. There is a wide range of software our customers use, such as VCMS
(Vector Control Management Systems), RapidMap, specially-configured ArcGIS
systems, purpose-built PHP web systems, or systems that utilize access
databases and excel spreadsheets. Of course, all of our customers to some
extent still use pen-and-paper systems for dispatching and filing. Our
customers have successfully integrated our data into all of these systems.
We offer two levels of service to our customers.
The Basic Survey Service consists of
custom-shot aerial images which are geo-located, north facing, and highly
detailed. You can view flight
lines and image locations in Google Earth, ArcGIS, or any other mapping
system. Tabular image location data is
provided for use in spreadsheet applications. Turn-around time is fast and
rush-processing is available for select areas.
The Address Index Service brings our expert
analysis to the table. This is where we identify and locate green,
half-empty, and at-risk swimming pools. We then provide the
latitude/longitude of the pool, the address, extensive data processing
support, and interfaces that allow the data to be displayed in any
mapping system. We also allow districts to print customized technician
dispatch reports. Turnaround time is three to five days from the flight date.
Our customer support is unparalleled. In order to get you up and running
as soon as possible, we will send one of our expert staff members to your
district to aid you in integrating our data with your processes. Telephone
and e-mail support is also available.
Below is more detail about our two levels of service.
Basic
Survey Service
 |
Flight patterns based on user-specified
requirements. This is typically an ArcGIS shape file or a Google Earth KML
file that shows the boundaries of the survey area. We then take this and
produce flight plans that include specific altitudes and flight lines.
Flight lines are designed with adequate front-to-back and side-to-side
overlap. |
|
Flights altitude ranging from 2,500 to 10,000
feet above ground level (AGL), averaging 5,500' AGL for average pool
detection flights. |
|
Advanced patent-pending camera system. We use
a full-frame, state-of-the-art Canon sensor and lens combination. Our
camera system is integrated with and calibrated to onboard GPS systems. Aerial Services is a
certified Canon, Microsoft, and Garmin developer. |
|
Individual flights can cover up to 250 square miles. |
|
All photographs are geo-located. |
|
Flight tracks and image locations are visible
in Google Earth or ArcGIS. |
|
Data is available on our dedicated FTP server
within 24 hours of survey flight. |
Address Index Service
|
Targets (green pools, etc.) are identified
and marked on images. |
|
Latitude and Longitude of associated property
are recorded in tabular format. |
|
Filters are used to remove duplicate targets. |
|
Targets are linked to interpolated
addresses. |
|
Data is delivered in easy-to-use Excel and
JPEG formats, as well as common mapping formats. |
|
Specialized technician report generation
software is available at no charge. |
|
Parcel data can be joined with target data to
add actual addresses to our technician reports. |
|
Address data is available 3-5 business days
after a survey flight. |
