Environment
The environment is becoming more of a concern and Blom group’s mapping and remote sensing capabilities can play a major part in assessing environmental impact of new development and analysing current issues such as flooding. Blom group companies provide information databases compiled from combinations of aerial photography, hyperspectral scanning and LiDAR to provide data on terrain, land coverage, snow volumes and vegetation which all go in to flood modelling systems to support management decisions.
Of particular interest to environmental studies is the group’s hyperspectral scanner MIVIS (Multispectral Infrared and Visible Imaging Spectrometer) which operates throughout Europe. This system collects 102 spectral bands including visible, near infra-red (NIR), middle infra-red (MIR) and thermal infra-red, providing geo-reference, digital data for the following applications,
