Infrastructure Monitoring and Remote Sensing Webinar

Intermap participated in a webinar hosted by our partner, UP42. Nathan Mercer, a Software Engineer at Intermap, presented The Versatility of Viewsheds for Line-of-Sight Analysis. Other presenters included AiDash, which presented about using satellite data for vegetation management, and Catalyst, which presented about monitoring ground deformation along 1000s of kilometers of infrastructure. Check out the webinar replay to learn how remote sensing can be a replacement for ground-based infrastructure monitoring.

Viewshed analysis is a versatile visual tool used in a variety of industries for site assessment and selection. We discussed two types of viewsheds: Basic and RF. Basic viewsheds are used for site evaluation in renewable energy and construction projects and for UAV mission planning. RF viewsheds combine line-of-sight and radio frequency algorithms for signal propagation analyses in telecommunications. High-resolution digital elevation models are key in generating accurate viewsheds. We explored the many use cases of viewshed analysis and factors that affect the results.
