Blom Aerofilms Ltd : Company Profile
4.2 Engineering The UK market is traditional one of large-scale engineering mapping of infra-structure corridors. Increasingly this activity is becoming health and safety aware with an emphasis given to techniques which are completely remote removing the need for survey staff to operate in dangerous environments.
Helicopter mounted TopEye II LiDAR system
M25 Motorway Junction
Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
Blom Aerofilms has introduced a number of rapid survey techniques to provide high-accuracy survey data to support engineering design and asset management activities. These include low-level photography and LiDAR data capture from helicopters, enabling detailed mapping and digital terrain models to be completed. For very high precision activities, the company also operates a helicopter mounted camera system providing accuracies of less than 1 cm from 100 metres (300 feet) altitude. Helicopter photography and LiDAR data acquisition is a major benefit for detailed engineering corridors where access and safety is an issue. The accuracies which can be achieved are almost to the standards which can be expected from traditional land survey. Blom Aerofilms also owns and operates two large format digital survey cameras with precision navigation systems to acquire imagery from 2 cm to 50 cm resolution.

4.3 Environment Blom Aerofilms regularly provides support services to environmental organisations responsible for coastline management and flood protection. These activities include annual photography campaigns to provide a record of the coastline and identify areas for study and flood maintenance. Colour and Infra-red digital photography can provide detailed information on flood defences, flood planes, coastal erosion and vegetation either sub-sea or on land. This imagery may be provided as stereo photographs or in ortho-rectified format for integration with GIS. LiDAR is becoming an increasingly popular technique for coastline and flood plane analysis and Blom Aerofilms can offer some of the most cutting-edge technology combining digital photography and LiDAR acquisition.

5.3 Pictometry® – Oblique Image Libraries
5.3.1 Image Viewing & Delivery
Developed in the United States, Pictometry is a unique patented information system that combines aerial imaging with a state of the art software system which provides visual intelligence.
The Pictometry oblique libraries may be viewed within bespoke software or combined with existing GIS data in most industry-standard GIS software including, ESRI, MapInfo, CAD Corps through plug-in’s etc.
While Pictometry® libraries contain orthogonal (straight down) images like conventional aerial imaging, over 80% of Pictometry’s® images are oblique (taken from angles) so that features can be easily seen in their entirety.
A number of specialist software providers are making their software compatible including Command and Control systems for emergency services.
Blom Aerofilms Limited is in the process of acquiring high-resolution, georeferenced oblique aerial photography covering every British town and city. The image acquisition is being undertaken as part of a European-wide project to acquire imagery of every urban centre with a population in excess of 50,000 inhabitants, a total of 900 cities. Oblique imagery provides a new way of visualising the urban environment by providing multiple side-views of each location giving considerably more information on a building than conventional vertical views of the roof, filling the missing information between the street and the roof. As the imagery is geo-referenced it can be integrated with a variety of GIS data to support more informed decisionmaking.

Technology Focus 6.2 Spatial Data Management System (SDMS)
Reporting
In order to control large scale processing flowlines within Blom Aerofilms, the company has developed a Spatial Data Management System (SDMS). This web based application encapsulates the companies business rules with its accredited flow line procedures, to produce work flow schemas for all the different production disciplines we undertake. As a project steps through the work flow schema, the metadata is updated on progress to allow managers and clients to review the status of their projects, and appropriate team members are notified when a phase of work is completed and the data is available for the next user to proceed. Notifications can be made via SDMS, email, or SMS. User assignments allow only the accredited personnel for particular disciplines to undertake those tasks.
SDMS
The maintenance of the metadata associated with a project allows for real time reporting, either to predefined template or customised. Similarly reports can be triggered to dispatch to specific personnel, either internally or externally, on completion of a certain stage, or perhaps at month end.
Important for the user, is data versioning; storage Versioning, and management of the versions of the data storage & management as it progresses through the flow line, and the ability to roll back to a previous version where required. Network storage capacity is virtualised and managed by SDMS, and optimises data storage dependent on type and use, for example storing high volume imagery on the areas of the network offering optimum performance. Automation
Where possible, repetitive manual tasks have been automated, either through exploiting software development kits (SDKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) from software manufacturers, or custom applications to mimic the user input. Such tasks can be assigned to execute outside office hours, or through notification that the preceding task has been completed.
GIS Server
SDMS incorporates ESRIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GIS Server, providing a geographical interpretation of many datasets, and project progress or coverage. The web based nature of SDMS allows clients to be assigned log in credentials that allow them to periodically review their project and data.
