Automate & Simplify The Whole Process

Topographical Mapping and volumetric Analysis

The pilot project done by ICFOSS was the topographical mapping at Vagamon Hills, Idukki. The data acquired was further processed for the study on High Accuracy Topographic Modelling via UAV-based Images. 3Dmodels of the area was generated and further analysis of grid based cut-and-fill volume calculation was done using the data .

3D modelling and mapping at Karakulam Grama Panchayath

Objective of mapping was to identify the potential of RGB based photogrammetry in the field of watershed analysis and agriculture. The research was carried out at places with higher slope gradient inorder to identify and demarcate watershed basins and stream channels.

Corridor Mapping at Kariavattom-Thrippadapuram Road

As part of the POC for the Rebuild Kerala initiative ICFOSS mapped 1km stretch at Thrippadapuram Rd. The objective of the project was to study road conditions and damages in the state after the disaster.

Structural Mapping of GreenField Stadium

Autonomous structural mapping using drones can be used for monitoring works in construction, damage assessment etc.Large complex structures can also be easily mapped using photogrammetry techniques.

Mapping Canal System within Thrissur Kole Wetlands

Canal system connecting Bharathapuzha and Chalakudy river is the major water resource for paddy fields at Thrissur Kole Wetlands having area around 13000 hectares from where 40% of the rice requirement of Kerala is met. The project was proposed to estimate the total water holding capacity of the canal system to stipulate the required cultivation for corresponding seasons to maximise the yield.

Network Analysis for K-FON

Government of Kerala aims to build a dedicated Optic Fibre Network (Kerala State Fibre Network) connecting the State HeadQuarters, Districts, the Block and Gram Panchayats in the state. A highly scalable network infrastructure has been envisioned for K-FON which shall be accessible on a non-discriminatory basis, to provide on demand, affordable broadband connectivity of 2 Mbps upto 100 Mbps for all households.

Drone based Land Use mapping at Niranam Grama Panchayath

Grameena Padana Kendram is an agency that carries out spatial planning for local development . For on ongoing project of local development using spatial as well as demographic survey the team proposed a drone mapping project as an addition to their existing survey projects.
