WORKFLOW
Flyscan captures high-resolution imagery along pipeline corridors using aerial platforms equipped with specialized sensors. The imagery is processed in Correlator3D through automated aerial triangulation and 3D reconstruction to generate orthomosaics and surface models. These outputs are integrated with inspection data to provide precise spatial context for methane detection, anomaly identification, and reporting.
DELIVERABLES
Orthomosaics, digital surface models (DSM), georeferenced imagery, and integrated inspection datasets for pipeline monitoring.
BENEFITS
Correlator3D enables Flyscan to efficiently transform aerial imagery into accurate mapping products, increasing the value of inspection data for pipeline monitoring and asset integrity programs.
