Data & Detection: YOLO’s Role in Modern Geospatial Intelligence

“Quality data is as essential to Machine Learning as practice and quality instruments are to an orchestra. Be the conductor.” In the ever-evolving world of machine learning, YOLO (You Only Look Once) stands out as a game-changer for real-time object detection.  Unlike other models that sacrifice speed for precision, YOLO’s single-pass processing delivers lightning-fast inference, […]

UAV Mapping: Maximizing Accuracy with Ground Control Points

In the world of geospatial mapping, precision is everything. Enter Ground Control Points (GCPs)—the unsung heroes that ensure our digital maps and images align perfectly with the real world.  Ground control points are easily identifiable locations on the Earth’s surface where geographic coordinates have been observed and verified. GCPs are vital for tasks like georeferencing […]

Multi-Rotor vs. Fixed Wing UAV Platforms: Considerations for Evaluating Capabilities and Limitations

Using the correct equipment is critical to the success of any project. UAV projects are no different, knowing how to select the best tool for each specific application is fundamental to efficient data collection. We use both multi-rotor and fixed wing UAV equipment, depending on project goals and constraints. Below are some considerations for selecting […]
