FT. WORTH, Texas, May 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The need for clear, detailed surface imagery in planning infrastructure has rendered standard satellite surface data obsolete. Aerial imagery pioneers Hunter Herren and Josh Vinyard announce the opening of Prius Intelli (First to Understand) to meet that need for companies in oil and gas, railroads, utilities, construction, finance and many other sectors.

The company uses highly advanced, custom-made cameras capable of capturing visual images down to 4 inches, allowing object recognition of equipment, surface elevations and even plant life. Additionally, thermal imagery can pinpoint leaks from pipelines, orphaned wells and other sources that would cost much more to find through ground-based procedures. This type of environmental assessment is becoming crucial in EHS (Environmental, Health and Safety) increasingly required by regulators and good governance.

“This is the highest quality surface imagery possible,” says Herren. “And by using piloted aircraft covering large areas in a short time, we can offer this for a surprisingly affordable price.”

“With this, an E&P company can pinpoint well pad placement based on digital elevation models without the time and expense of sending a crew to survey and report back,” he continued.

To provide the best imagery at an affordable price, the company decided to overcome the distance and elevation limitations of drone photography...

Bethesda, MD May 27, 2020: The American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing: The Imaging and Geospatial Information Society announces its 2020 virtual technical program.

Due to continuing uncertainties and safety concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, ASPRS has made the difficult decision to withdraw from the Geo Week 2020 face-to-face event currently scheduled at the McCormick Center in Chicago, Illinois on July 27-29. We are offering all presenters originally accepted for the March event in Washington, DC the opportunity to share their work in the ASPRS 2020 Annual Conference Virtual Technical Program, a series of online technical sessions during the week of June 22 – 26, 2020.

GUANGZHOU, China, May 27, 2020 — (PRNewswire) — With the farming population decreasing and growing older, the global food system now faces great uncertainty especially when the covid-19 pandemic exacerbates labour shortages. Its potential havoc can somehow be avoided by the integration of automation technologies. To overhaul the labour-intensive rice farming industry, XAG is scaling up drone applications in China that enable night-time seeding at peak period.

Drones Sowing Seeds for Aging Farmers

On 13 April 2020, XAG organised the world's first-ever rice direct seeding demonstration on the comparison between manual broadcasting and drone seeding. The operation was conducted in China's 'Happy Farms', one of the largest modern agricultural parks as well as smart agriculture demonstration site in Guangdong province. Two workers were invited to spread 5kg of rice seeds, walking slowly through the waterlogged paddy field with their feet swamped in the mud. This was a laborious and lengthy process, which took them 25 minutes to cover 1,200 square metres of land.

Then XAG's drone followed a pre-programmed route and dispensed rice seeds from the air. With JetSeed granule spreading system, it finished the same amount of work in only two minutes. One XAG agricultural drone can seed 50,000 square metres...
