Virtual Land Surveying and Low Orbit Recon

   January 6th 2025 I still have not made up my mind about if I'm going to stay in Texas or leave. I have been recovering from pneumonia and I'm still weak from being sick. I am hoping after i get back on my feet i can return back to work and start being productive and billable.  I will continue to invest and mature my skill craft towards a productive and financially rewarding experience. My goal is still to learn and or teach every day and keep my mind open and my heart filled with God's mercy and compassion in everything I do. I pray that God blesses me with the strength, wisdom and patience to move forward with my team. I could not have accomplished anything without the support, help and friendship of Tim. Tim was my employer then my friend and now my brother. I'm forever grateful for Tim and his trust and confidence in me.  FALCON VISION UAV & JpFonseca Land Management Services  Located in Boston Massachusetts 2024!

February 21st 2025 I continue to upgrade the B.A.L.L. with new NIR,IR sensors. Most of the vacuum portals are not able to  push that amount of air to maintain a stable hover at 100' feet. They keep calling it a anti gravity but in fact its not. most of the time its just pushing and sucking air. because its round it becomes difficult to use earths wind patterns. I'm looking for work and I've met some great companies and talent. I hope if get the opportunity to work with them soon. one of the most important function of a Surveyor is to identify the improvements from previous Surveys. If im not able to put feet on the ground then I'm not able to complete the job.

Sunday July 23rd 2022 I have been working out different scenarios and workflows regarding magnetic anomalies. One of the items in my  mental checklist is "output" band for NIR folder.  The cause for attention post is due to what I call a mental itch... So I've had this itch that causes me to go through routine after routine to feel comfortable with my analysis of post processed images.  I use three different types of engines to provide the same answer. But in this process I routinely caused or forced the same results snd that's not good. Soooo I'm doing it all over again just to make sure. I realize that it's borderline ADD but in my view I perceive this as quality control I need to maintain a standard or level of control and assessing what's being depicted through data versus perception I'm trying my best to not get distracted by perception and doing a comparison side by side which takes a little longer but more valid.  Monday August 1st 2022 The next...

A little hint..please please change this MAP! After returning back to New England I've decided not to pursue my original plan of paying it forward. I have learned something very important related to my trade. I do not need to pay it forward where I started land surveying.  Just as the land surveying industry has matured and evolved.  I have done the same thing. I have always paid attention to the demands of software as well as hardware. I can still see my first party chief standing in the woods with his cherry tobacco pipe hanging from his mouth and his other hand holding a compass and sketching kieldnotes. To this day I stop dead in my tracks whenever I smell that scent of tobacco. My experiences and knowledge base was a mutual investment from me and past employers.  I do not subscribe to the idea of my employer having to pay for my education of software or special training.  I was told a long time ago by many Rhode Island and Massachusetts land surveyors that I cou...

January 19th 2025 I everyone been unemployed in Austin Texas. It hasn't been easy. I'm hoping Daniel the RPLS will help me with some work and get myself out of this mess. I'm praying to God for strength and wisdom and patience . In the meantime phase 4 is in motion and I've updated the geospatial package to include controls points observed by two vehicles. Vehicle 1 is an on-board GM GPS the second vehicle has a android cell phone with cellular GPS . Bother data sets are taking images every 1 second.  preliminary data processing shows a geospatial correct point cloud. The objects identified within each geospatial image data set shows plus or minus .05' hundreths of error between image and ground observatios done earlier in the year by a different surveying company but published in the county.  April 29th 2024 Austin, Texas ...SPACEPORT  (H2o Mission)  Parameters  Arrived in Round Rock,Texas and so far its been a relatively easy transition.  I had a few prob...
