Emergency Services
The nature of the Emergency Service sector means that geographic data must be up to date, accurate and quickly accessible. Our data solutions fit the bill on all of these criteria, although often funds do not stretch to expensive geographic data; out flexible pricing and licencing is designed to help you afford the data you need. Aerial photography on its own is a huge asset to emergency services, but combined with other data, such as building heights, can make a very powerful assessment tool.
If are interested in talking about our services for the Emergency Services, please give Ralph Coleman a call on 01530 518518, or email ralph.coleman@bluesky-world.com.
Aerial Photography
Maps have evolved...
They are no longer lines and words, the white space is now full of detail. Aerial photography (or air photo) is playing an increasingly important role in the management of the natural environment and built infrastructure.
It is becoming part of everyday life with online mapping portals and use in the media. Bluesky is a specialist in the acquisition of aerial photography, the processing of geographic imagery and creation of high quality digital imagery products. By investing in the latest technology, Bluesky ensures the quality, accuracy and consistency of its aerial photographs is second to none.

LiDAR
LiDAR provides ultra accurate and detailed height measurments of the ground The technology uses light sensors to measure the distance between the aircraft and the ground, including objects such as buildings and vegetation. It is ideal when very high accuracy height measurements are required for large areas, and is very cost effective. Off-the-shelf data, up to 10cm accuracy is available for many areas across the UK, including most major urban areas as well as rural and flood plain areas.
Bluesky’s team of experts can give you help and advice on your requirements, and will organise a dedicated survey for you if the data you require is not available, or Buy Online Now.

Night Mapping
Daytime aerial photography is of course common place; however using specially adapted cameras Bluesky are able to photography both urban and rural areas at night. These amazing photos present our landscape in a whole new perspective. These are not just pretty pictures either; they present a host of opportunities to manage our street lighting and other nocturnal lighting. Street lights, illuminated road signs and other night-time sources of light all contribute to energy consumption and light pollution. It is all of our interests to monitor and control the amount of night time light emitted as there are impacts not only on energy consumption, but also on ecology, health and crime. There are also opportunities of dimming lights or even switching them off during certain hours.
The Night Mapping is orthorectified and can therefore be used in any GIS or desktop mapping software to be used alongside other data including daytime photography, asset inventories and crime statistics. The product is being developed further to enable users to measure the amount of light (luminance) in lux or candela.

Height Data
Detailed measurements of the height of the ground and the objects and structure on it can provide a new dimension to the understanding and management of the local, national, or even global environments. Bluesky’s range of height products are designed to take geographic information to the next dimension.
The two products from the GeoPerspectives™ range of products are nationwide and available as off-the-shelf products and to buy online. They provide a cost effective solution for a range of applications.
