Challenges
Rocketmine is a global drone data service provider, offering full turnkey drone solutions across continents for multiple sectors including mining, agriculture, engineering, renewables, security and medical. With Trinity F90+ and the Qube 240 LiDAR camera solution, Rocketmine mapped 6,500 hectares in an equatorial jungle environment in Ghana. A digital terrain model was created using the captured data set, which included a watershed simulation to mimic a dam breach and get situational awareness about potentially affected settlements. The data enables local emergency responders to make sustainable, preventive, and protective decisions.
Our Solution
The final data had an overall accuracy of 2.32 cm in elevation. In comparison, surveying the same area via a manned aviation solution would have the accuracy of only 20 cm horizontally and 10 cm vertically. Rocketmine did not only obtain higher quality data, but they have also saved time and cost resources, as the cost of one manned aviation survey is two times higher than the one-time cost of Trinity F90+.
