~ New Drone Laws

New Drone Laws Took Effect Dec. 1, 2017
North Carolina�s laws are changing to stay up-to-date with this fast-growing industry.
Two laws that were passed in July will take effect on Friday, Dec. 1.

House Bill 128 prohibits drone use near prisons, jails and
any other correction or containment facility.
Near is defined as a horizontal distance of 500 feet or a vertical distance of 250 feet.
Signs will be placed around facilities to remind drone users of the boundaries.

House Bill 337 revises existing state drone laws.
The language of the law has been changed to clarify
that UAS laws will now apply to model aircraft as well.
Model aircraft users are still exempt from the state�s permitting requirements.

The revisions also loosen restrictions on the use of UAS in emergency management.
The law permits emergency management agencies to use drones for all activities
related to emergency management and removes the restriction on the use of special imaging technology.
The use of technologies such as thermal and infrared was previously only permitted for scientific purposes.
The removal of the restriction allows private and commercial operators
to assist law enforcement with emergency management efforts such as search and rescue operations.

The UAS Knowledge Test Study Guide has been updated
to reflect these changes and is available on the N.C. Division of Aviation website,
along with information on how to ensure you are compliant with current regulations.

Analytics tailored to industries

ENDVI
ξ is an indicator of live green vegetation
ξ can be used for crops in all growth stages

GNDVI
ξ is a modified version of the NDVI
ξ to be more sensitive to the variation of chlorophyll content in the crop
ξ is useful for assessing the canopy variation in biomass, and
ξ is an indicator of senescence in case of stress or late maturity stage
ξ this index can be used to analyze crops in mid to late growth stages

DVI
ξ is a simple vegetation index
ξ distinguishes between the soil and vegetation
ξ this index can be used for crops in all growth stages

Field Uniformity Tool
ξ makes it possible to quantify plot-level statistics on plant count,
ξ height, vigor, leaf area and canopy cover
ξ drawing data from your other licensed algorithms
ξ (Row-Based Plant Counting Tool, Plant Height, Canopy Cover, Leaf Area and Vegetation Indices) ,
ξ it calculates the maximum, minimum, mean and standard deviation for each plot or user-defined grid cell

GDVI
ξ was designed to predict nitrogren requirements for corn
ξ this index is recommended to analyze crops in early to mid growth stages

Volume Measurement algorithm
ξ automatically calculates cut-fill volume for areas of interest delineated by the user
ξ takes a digital surface model and
ξ an area of interest (AOI) shapefile as inputs and
ξ generates a GIS vector file (shapefile) and
ξ a KML file showing the user-defined piles along with their respective cut, fill and total volume
ξ uses accounts for the base terrain slope
ξ unlike approaches that assume a flat and horizontal base,
ξ this volume measurement interpolates the base height
ξ from the elevation under the vertices of the area of interest delineated by the user
ξ cut and fill values are calculated based on this interpolated base terrain height
ξ instead of simply calculating it from the lowest height (flat/horizontal)
ξ this approach provides good results when the AOI is delineated directly on the base terrain
ξ not recommended to attempt isolating the volumes from closely adjacent piles or piles adjacent to a cliff

Identify standing water in pre-emergent agriculture fields
ξ using only high-resolution imagery from your NIR modified sensor,
ξ areas of standing water in agriculture fields can be accurately identified and measured
ξ this algorithm was developed to work in pre-emergent agricultural fields and
ξ quantify areas that cannot be planted due to standing water
ξ additional uses could include determining flood damage
ξ immediately after an extreme rain event or monitoring water levels of permanent water features

Tree Crown Delineation
ξ automatically identifies individual tree crowns in the survey
ξ also generates a geospatial layer of tree crowns
ξ with overall health level, crown diameter,
ξ as well as the mean vegetation index values

Roof Report
ξ from accelerating the insurance claims process to
ξ optimizing your facility management workflow,
ξ Roof Report helps you measure a roof without the time, risk, and bias of traditional inspections
ξ creating your report is easy
ξ just crop and annotate (roof facets, eaves, rakes, ridges, and valleys) an existing PrecisionMapper 3D model,
ξ and Roof Report will produce a PDF featuring:
ξ Images of the roof from North, South, East, and West compass directions
ξ Survey information, including: date, location, latitude/longitude, map projection, resolution, and weather
ξ Measurements, by facet, including: dimensions, square feet, and pitch

Building construction progress
ξ create a visual summary of the differences in up to five surveys of the same site
ξ select the surveys, identify an area of interest in the first survey, and
ξ the Progress Monitoring algorithm will produce a PDF featuring:
ξ Images of the site from North, South, East, and West compass directions
ξ Survey information, including: date, location, latitude/longitude, map projection, resolution, and weather
ξ for the best results, fly sites in both orbital and grid patterns.
ξ This algorithm is helpful for:
ξ Builders monitoring progress on their construction site
ξ (without having to fly traditional aircraft or rely on satellite imagery)
ξ Insurance adjusters accelerating the claims cycle
ξ by reducing the time required to assess changes in, and damage to, assets
ξ Energy professionals preventing �high risk, low probability� events by frequently inspecting infrastructure and equipment
