1.8 ACRES= 5,000 ACRES every project or job is just as important as a 1.8 acre TOPO. The point is I'm grateful for every opportunity and I'm looking forward to be working with local Surveying and Civil engineering company. Looks like Texas might yet still suprise me offer me a better perspective and Outlook on the state of Texas. Time will tell. The object now is to stay alive and be productive and billable.  Thank you God! I'm happy I didn't call Manny...God knows I need him...but I have to tough it out.

Update Fairbanks Alaska
Continued live night qualifications for the strikers at Eielson air force base has produced new non-moving parts on target acquisitioning drones. These drones are air propelled with thrust vector maneuvering that allows 3-D navigation. As I continue to modify new prisms for laser tracking I will discontinue the Ground Station or PC ground station protocols. On a bright note Texas is coming along quite nicely.

Texas update:
Field crew has brought to my attention extreme heat hazards on batteries and engines as well as propellers. To counter these hazards I’ve decided to change Mission departure times to try to take advantage of the morning cool air. I will continue to update the near infrared and thermal imaging as well as magnetometer drag netting. My first objective will be to upload local to cloud and establish some sort of criteria for prioritizing data sets in layering workflows i.e. RGB and then Thermo and then near infrared and then magnetometer and last original ground survey data via KMEL file extension.



August 3rd 2022
I've noticed a lot of sun activity past few days we have a G1 class approaching Earth today. I wonder how much interference we will get with GPS both for navigation and for survey. 

One of the tablets has arrived and we will be flying tandem simultaneously to cover more Terrain with dual sensors on both running near infrared thermal and RGB. The objective today will be to capture all of Vestal Road in one Ortho mosaic. The second objective will be to capture thermal on secondary points that were not observed in previous missions. 

I realize that the Geotech engineers have their own geospatial software packages that they work in but I feel that they are not adhering to the demands and prerequisites of compiling land surveying data with their Geotech data.
 One of the recommendations that I had made for accessing data was a cloud platform offered by esri arcgis Arc View arcpad and Ark survey are all great platforms for GIS or geospatial data acquisition and data collection.

I will be recording video on the first and second data collection missions so that I can deliver or create a diary of sorts for future endeavors. Right now my focus will be uploading current data from local drive to the cloud via Google Drive. I will also make a determination on the magnetometer. The last conversation we had regarding the magnetometer I believe left a sour taste due to cost. I will contact Jerry or Linda regarding the magnetometer build for the current Fleet of inspire one Pros.

Magnetometer:
After leaving site one designation men's shoe I realized that I could map the magnetic anomalies on the ground with flagging and the last. One of the other options could be used with a digital compass or a magnetometer app on cell phone. I first observed my course or bearing and then created a 25-ft interval at which time I would take a reading or observe in which direction the compass was pointing. After 4:00 observations I would return to the beginning point and physically monitor with my eyes focused on the needle and observe any movement along that first 25 ft section of that course or bearing. 

At that point I know realized that there were two to three sets of readings that became clear that that particular approach was going to be counterproductive.





LOOK FOR OUR NEW "AIRNAV" SYSTEMS FOR GIS-geospatial  ENVIRONMENTS 2021 Located in FairbanksAlaska. 
I find myself at a crossroads where I need to either be more vigilant in learning new code or new software environments. 
My goal now is to finish the AIRTOPO and the AIRNAV , AIRBORNE VECTOR THRUST PORTAL UAS SYSTEMS. 
It's a mouth full but it best describes this drone with no propellers anywhere on or in the aircraft. I admit describing it as a conventional aircraft is a stretch since it's not by definition meeting all the requirements to sustain flight...other than air being sucked in one direction and then air being pushed out the other direction.

Developing survey tactics procedures and techniques that incorporate conventional workflows into modern Technologies. 



I'm going back to design and prototype of my UAV concepts 

There has been several advancements in the form of camera and remote sensing that allowed JP Fonseca Land Management Services to adhere and standardize a workflow that is consistent with the current software market.

We are no longer required to set and or create aerial control points for our Land Surveying projects. We can now fly and process any situation without the use of GCP ground control points.

The first step towards this 
February 2019
New drones and old projects coming back to life with new technology based on older data collection methods are providing a more cost effective way to meet same old deadlines and the proof is in the budgets allocated for this phase...I'm very proud to say it's no longer a proof of concept but rather a standard .
 no foresight towards the land surveying in civil engineering Industries

I am continuing the 3d Scanning phase of my work and building 3d scanning platforms for the Hexacopters and Octocopters for the rest of the year . The main interest in Colorado Springs,Colorado  is in fact HDS and 3d Scanning but I can also say that they are extremely interested in UAV/UAS technologies for future projects in the City and or energy related sites...which makes this a very easy choice for me to stay Temporarily in Austin Texas

Land Surveys is now fully operational with the latest innovation in surveying technology, claiming to become one of the first Australian surveying companies to offer an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) mapping service.

JpFonseca Land Management Services  operational  Land Surveys’ new UAV mapping systems will complement the company’s traditional UAS surveying services by providing rapid-response aerial surveying. Key applications include volumetric surveys and imagery for mining projects, civil construction and environmental, heritage and agricultural applications, and infrastructure for GIS base map updating.


The benefit of this technology is that digital elevation models (DEM) and orthophotos can be produced in a matter of hours, rather than days or weeks as is the case with traditional methods.


“We can capture survey and image data in a relatively short timeframe, without exposing operators to environments that are hazardous or inaccessible.”

JpFonseca Land Management Services has several UAV systems, each comprising a  DJI  UAV platforms, photogrammetric processing and surveying software, which can deliver orthorectified imagery and DEMs in all common CAD and GIS formats.


“Many of our clients are mining and engineering surveyors, engineers, environmental scientists and geologists who have rigid reporting requirements and are often working with outdated data,” Mr Wilkinson said. “To compound this, surveyors are usually working at capacity and sometimes struggle to deliver time-critical information such as end-of-month volumetric reports. Our UAV mapping service has given them the opportunity to address these issues.” within minutes of mission flight paths.




Pete Fonseca (Director of Aerial Land Surveying) : Our systems are operated by survey Technicians or photogrammetrists, specifically trained and qualified as UAV Operators. This gives our clients comfort in the knowledge that their data is being captured and processed by geospatial data professionals.

“Those same professionals are also equipped to use additional surveying instruments such as GPS, total stations and laser scanners, so we can mobilize a single surveyor or two man crew with several tools, resulting in manpower cost savings.” through our network of existing clients of Land Surveying and Civil Engineering companies, strategically located through out North America.

Unmanned systems are comparable to traditional scanning capabilities, as both services are underpinned with similar data management and processing strategies. UAV is a rapidly developing technology being used for many other commercial applications including general aerial photography and infrastructure inspection work, cinema photography, agriculture, advertising, surveillance, amongst others.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide a very cost effective means of collecting geodata, primarily because they do not require very sophisticated image acquisition sensors on-board and also do not have to be piloted manually. Added to this, these battery-operated UAVs are environment friendly too.
UAV images need to be rectified and validated for accuracy using sophisticated software before they can be used for conducting any study or analysis. As one of the early providers of UAV image processing and data analysis services in the industry, Above Summit  allows you to put your UAV imagery to use for a range of commercial, environmental, and governance requirements. We use a combination of UAV post processing software and industry-standard photogrammetry software.


                                       Falcon Vision UAV llc.
Our services include the following:
UAV data acquisition
Image processing
Orthorectification
Data modeling – DEM / DTM / DSM
3D feature extraction
In order to provide end-to-end support with respect to UAV image interpretation, SBL has entered into strategic tie-ups with various organizations that are competent in flying UAVs. Based on your industry and your requirements, we can help you identify the right kind of UAV and the most suitable UAV flight provider from among our strategic partners.

Waypoint Navigation
By using the DJI Waypoint Navigation, larger areas can be surveyed automatically. A notebook, netbook or tablet can be connected to the Mobile Ground Station to direct the flight system in a map. Matrix patterns can be set up with defined parameters for the generation of up-to-date maps or 3D reconstructions.



Visual Power Line Inspections by Helicopter
One of our core activities within our power line division is a detailed visual engineering inspection by air. This is carried out using trained overhead power line engineers, flying at low level.

This type of survey gives a unique birds eye view of the entire asset and allows assessment of:
·         Pole top rot
·         Insulator damage
·         Signing and guarding
·         ESQCR issues
·         Conductor damage
·         Steelwork
·         Vegetation



 UAS/UAV  AERIAL SURVEYS INCLUDE:

Radiological surveys "THE NEO" OCTOCOPTER
• Coastal erosion monitoring
Corona discharge inspections
Environmental studies
Electricity power line surveys and inspections
Lidar surveys
Aerial Mapping
Photographic flights
• Roads, rail and pipelines surveys


  thermal image inspections
Thermal image inspections have become the core service for predictive maintenance programs, as they can help avoid costly interruptions in supply. Jp fonseca land services  are the only thermal imaging UAS system located on the East Coast that can offer these services


Thermal imaging surveys including heat loss and insulation studies
• High Definition aerial surveys
• Live stock/animal surveys including Deer counting, sea mammal research and bird studies






The Airtopo data will be compared to published monuments that are published on D.O.T. website thru their GIS dept. The shapefiles that are used for underground utilities will be shared as well. 
 Access flights or "ride-along" are the ability to fly along and see what it’s like to be on board during missions. FPV is the correct description for these Access flights with one major difference Access flights are chances to fly along to do project RECON and that would be thru subscription only.
