SkyCam Aviation

SkyCam Aviation is a company that captures aerial imagery for remote sensing and surveying. It has an address at 299 W. Jack London Blvd. in Livermore, California. Its site says the work serves many industries.

The company flies aircraft fitted with its own imaging system. The system records 4K geo-referenced video. It also takes ultra high resolution still images and uses more than one sensor. The site names two hyperspectral systems for methane detection, as well as thermal sensors. Lenses range from 25 mm to 1200 mm, with resolution down to 0.3 inches.

The listed uses include methane detection, railroad patrol, border inspections, utility right of way inspection, roadway solutions, forestry and agriculture. The site also mentions disaster response, pipeline patrol, vegetation management, asset management and day and night imagery.

The company says a customer can view and check 160 miles of roads and right of way on a monitor within an hour. Still images and 4K video are delivered the day after the flight in most cases. The data works with ArcGIS, MicroStation and AutoCAD. A viewer tool plays the video and shows its location on Google Earth at the same time. The site adds that the imagery suits the development of artificial intelligence tools that automate inspection.

Pricing is per mile of imagery captured, with the price agreed before the flight. The website offers a contact form, a demonstrations page and a page on capabilities and tools.
