Press Release - 2011, February |
Aerodata, ITC and imajing companies are proud to announce a new system : the Thermal-Mobile-Mapping. This system is designed to survey building facades by driving a car with an on board thermal camera at normal traffic speed.
Thermo-Mobile-Mapping
After several years of experience resulting in great references such as Paris, Bordeaux, Nice, Grenoble, and so on, aerial thermography mapping became a specialty of the Aerodata/ITC partnership. The end product displays a unique view on heat losses from building roofs, representing about 1/3 of the total heat loss of a building. Facades which may represent up to 30-50% of losses can now also be systematically measured. Up to now, such complementary survey was only achievable on foot with a handheld scanner and therefore on a very limited number of buildings.

New technology
Aiming to extend such survey to all buildings of larger areas, Aerodata, ITC and imajing join their forces to couple a FLIR Infrared camera with the compact imajbox mobile mapping system.
Associated with accurate geographic positions, the thermal images enable detailed measurements and even 3D objects extraction by using photogrammetric measurements.
From these images, heat engineers from ITC can precisely identify thermal anomalies on facades (insulation problems, air leakage and so on). The main goal is to increase public awareness and to stimulate energy efficiency. |

New applications
Final results can be presented through several deliverables adapted to different level of use :
- Google Earth addresses database navigation to reach quickly classical aerial imagery combined with true colour images (Street View) but also with thermal infrared images. Visualization of energy audit report linked to each building and of aerial thermal images when available.
- Imajview software to navigate through geo-localized and calibrated thermal infrared images to produce new GIS layers.
- 3D models draping aerial and terrestrial thermal images on 3D buildings for a nearly complete analysis of heat losses.
