Scope Of Work
The client had a lake that was actively being dredged and needed to be monitored to ensure the increased turbidity (dirt, silt, and other suspended solids being kicked up by the dredging process) didn’t spread throughout the entire lake. They set up a silt curtain to contain the turbidity close to the dredging machinery.
The ABJ Drones team flew over the lake and imaged it using a visual camera, a 5-band multispectral camera, and a thermal camera. We then created orthomosaics for each method, including reflectance maps and index maps for the multispectral camera and thermal camera. With both the visual and multispectral maps, the extent of the turbidity is clearly visible.
