1 The YellowScan system: A test on the oppida of Nages/Roque de Viou (Languedoc, France) Tristan Allouis, PhD Research and Development, L'Avion Jaune

2 L'Avion Jaune : Earth observation data provider UAVs Planes Cameras Electronics Tristan Allouis, R&D, L'Avion Jaune TRAIL 2014, 26/03/2014 2

3 L'Avion Jaune company Privately owned company created 2005 Absolutely independent, self-financed growth Founded by scientists (Irstea, CNRS, MétéoFrance) Airborne remote sensing services with light airplanes and UAVs In-house developments : UAVs, sensors, software Cooperative research projects (partly funded by state agencies) Focus on agriculture and natural environment : crop monitoring, forestry, rivers, preservation Bruno Roux Sales, design, photography Michel Assenbaum Management, navigation, software Michel Gavart UAVs, electronics Marion Houlès Image processing GIS Mikaël Jouanne UAV pilot 3D and GIS Tristan Allouis Lidar R&D Tristan Allouis, R&D, L'Avion Jaune TRAIL 2014, 26/03/2014 3

4 Operational capabilities Aerial imagery from 20 to 4000 m above ground Resolution range 1 cm to 2 m UAV fleet with various capabilities (range, altitude, payload, wind resilience) In accordance with the new French aeronautical regulations Operational in France (including Guyane, Réunion, Polynésie) as well as abroad (Viet Nam, Cambodia, Hungary) Network of customized ultralight airplane (France, Guyane) Tristan Allouis, R&D, L'Avion Jaune TRAIL 2014, 26/03/2014 4

5 Imaging and processing Cameras: Visible light, Near infrared and Thermal infrared Orthorectification, 3D modeling and extraction of information Tristan Allouis, R&D, L'Avion Jaune TRAIL 2014, 26/03/2014 5

6 YellowScan project Project started in March 2012 (Tristan Allouis hiring) Creation of a User Club (mainly research labs) YellowScan tested during 2013 (different aircrafts and applications) Forest resources estimation Estimation of post-disaster damages Archeology Power lines Tristan Allouis, R&D, L'Avion Jaune TRAIL 2014, 26/03/2014 6

7 YellowScan: System characteristics The world's lightest autonomous lidar system Laser scanner Attitude and Heading Reference System Bi-frequency GPS (RTK-ready) Embedded computer (recording raw data) Battery Up to 3 echoes per pulse 15 cm resolution 100 m range Geo-positioned point cloud 2 kg 2 hours autonomy Tristan Allouis, R&D, L'Avion Jaune TRAIL 2014, 26/03/2014 7

8 Oppida test: Objectives Allouis T., Nuninger L., Opitz R., Sanz S., Sorin S., Thivet M., Bohbot H., Fovet F. avec la collaboration de P. Garmy, L. Izac-Imbert et M. Py Evaluate the capacity of YellowScan to map under-cover archaeological remains: Compare YellowScan (airborne) with terrestrial laser scanning Compare YellowScan with photogrammetry on open area Find best flight parameters (altitude and speed) Determine the maximum vegetation density for remains detection Tristan Allouis, R&D, L'Avion Jaune TRAIL 2014, 26/03/2014 8

9 Oppida test: Study site One of six iron-age oppida in the valley of Nages Occupied between 800 BCE and 50 BCE Excavated and partially restored, between 1958 and 1974 Four stages of construction detected Nîmes Nages / Roque de Viou The valley of Nages Source: Google Earth Tristan Allouis, R&D, L'Avion Jaune TRAIL 2014, 26/03/2014 9

10 Collected data YellowScan data Low altitude (20m) for very high resolution survey Higher altitude (70m) on the whole area Terrestrial laser scanning Extremely high resolution scans Geo-positioning reference Photogrammetry Orthophotography and Digital Surface Model from kite (4 cm resolution) Tristan Allouis, R&D, L'Avion Jaune TRAIL 2014, 26/03/

11 YellowScan data Single flight line parameters: Altitude = 20 m Speed = 30 km/h Point density = 130 points/m² Altitude = 70 m Speed = 70 km/h Point density = 9 points/m² Tristan Allouis, R&D, L'Avion Jaune TRAIL 2014, 26/03/

12 Ongoing developments Fine georeferencing (hardware and software updates) TLS (green) YellowScan (orange) Absolute positioning: 1.5 m Tristan Allouis, R&D, L'Avion Jaune TRAIL 2014, 26/03/

13 Conclusion Two years of development ( ) One year of successful testing (2013): Manned and unmanned helicopter Multi-copter Ongoing research: Assessing quantitative accuracy on different context (bare earth, terrain model below vegetation) Improving absolute positioning Designing fixed-wing UAV dedicated to laser scanning Now starting to commercialize YellowScan Tristan Allouis, R&D, L'Avion Jaune TRAIL 2014, 26/03/

14 Thank you for your attention Tristan Allouis, R&D, L'Avion Jaune TRAIL 2014, 26/03/
