Techniques for analyzing and mapping geographic areas using uas

Abstract

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for extracting information from image data captured using an unmanned aircraft system (UAS). The disclosed systems and methods may capture image data using an imaging device mounted to the UAS, which may include a plurality of images of an environment. Each image may be associated with a particular area of the environment and a timestamp. The imagery may be used to construct one or more multi-temporal orthomosaics. The disclosed systems and methods may generate information representative of a dynamic evolution of an event impacting the environment over time based on the multi-temporal orthomosaic(s). The systems and methods may also calculate a rate of spread (ROS) of the event based on the information representative dynamic evolution of an event impacting the environment over time. In an additional aspect, techniques for synchronizing image data captured by the UAS to calibrated image data are disclosed.
