Using small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAS) provides a better solution for capturing evidence. The benefits include:
Richer Data Capture
- 3D model with millions of data points
- Equal or better accuracy: sub-centimeter accuracy is achievable
- Retroactive measurement ability of any dimension: the distance between any two points of interest can be measured later
Reduced Elapsed Time
- Reduce road closures: the time to capture the scene can be reduced to 15-20 minutes
- Fewer secondary crashes: due to shorter road closures
- Reduce demand for police: officers can resume regular duties more quickly
Compelling Evidence
- Able to change perspective of scene, regardless of physical captures
- Able to answer questions by reconstructing the scene: "Was the stop sign visible from this location?"
- More persuasive in court than 2D drawings
There are many applications for this technology, and we support the following missions:
