UAV-mounted sensors present unique opportunities and efficiency gains for underground exploration, especially when surveying existing utilities and underground obstacles. Different sensors are already available but often their suitability for particular tasks cannot be evaluated easily, particularly when compared to other devices of different types and from various manufacturers.
The SPH's Test Range, located in Balozi, Latvia (EU), is available for training, sensor testing, and development of methodologies for airborne sensor use. Services of SPH's engineers, test pilots, and rental of drones are available on-site.
Agenda
1. Description of the SPH's Test Range
2. Brief overview of data samples acquired with various sensors
3. Free vs. Paid usage offers.
Q&A
Q: What is the depth of the metallic targets, please?
A: live answered
Q: Any evidence about the effect of "noisy" ground - ie the type where ground-based detectors require quite high "ground balancing" adjustment?
A: From our experience, the noise from airborne surveys is quite similar to that on-ground surveys.
