Bring GIS Day to Life with Powerful Data Analytics & Aerial Imagery | Vexcel Data Program

Celebrate GIS Day with the Power of Aerial Imagery & Data Analytics

Happy GIS Day 2024!

Annually, we get a chance to celebrate the wonder that is Geographic Information Systems (GIS), tools and technology used to help us make better sense of the world, to analyze and map all kinds of data. And as one of those supporters of GIS, we help drive better decision-making and exploration of the world through our massive library of high-resolution aerial imagery and our AI-derived data analytics on our imagery.

So as you reflect on all the goodness GIS has brought into your world, the positive changes and ripple effects it has unleashed, we wanted to share how aerial imagery and data analytics is making GIS better, day in and day out, across multiple industries and for a variety of purposes.

Visualization

Imagery provides a real-world view to help you easily interpret and understand other spatial data layers, like boundaries, points of interest, and elevation data, immersing you within an environment. It gives you the opportunity to see things from multiple viewpoints such as with oblique imagery, for example, to virtually tour locations with ease without being present on site.

Change Detection

A big advantage of having access to a historical library of imagery is being able to make comparisons. By comparing imagery captured at different times, you can identify changes in land use, infrastructure, or environmental conditions over time, and with GIS platforms, enable monitoring and analysis of trends.

Feature Extraction

Our Elements product line provides AI-derived insights on our high-resolution imagery. These advanced data analytics allow you to extract specific features directly from imagery, such as building footprints, over 30+ features for roadways, or 40+ attributes on properties all within a matter of seconds. Valuable insights for understanding the condition of roads, properties, defensible space for wildfire safety around structures, and more.

Disaster Management

Being able to understand the impact to a community following a major hurricane, tornado, or wildfire is a critical need for insurers, government entities, and utility companies. Assessing damage from natural disasters, identifying evacuation routes, evaluating utility assets, and planning response efforts is all made more convenient with high-resolution aerial imagery, collected quickly after major disasters, and layered in GIS applications.

Asset Management

Power plants and utility poles dot the landscape, across urban and rural landscapes, and being able to locate and monitor infrastructure with ease is a massive benefit. High-resolution aerial imagery can help you inspect your power lines, create more efficient field operations, and better maintain assets and track them in GIS software.

Urban Planning

Urban areas are ever changing with some areas expanding at alarming rates with population explosions. Using high-resolution aerial imagery and data analytics can help you analyze land use patterns, identify potential development sites, and assess the impact of new infrastructure projects in major metro areas. Then by pairing this data with GIS, planners can make more informed decisions, ensuring sustainable and efficient urban development is created to support the needs of the community.

Better Analysis for GIS

By using highly accurate, consistently reliable aerial imagery, you can drive better analysis for your GIS workflows. So whatever your projects may be, whatever problems you are working hard to solve, make sure to use data that can help you analyze a solution with greater accuracy. The world is waiting for your creativity!
