As Remote Intelligence continues to serve our clients with the best aerial services using sUAS, we’re excited to announce an expansion of capabilities due to the purchase of our partner Wildlife Specialists, LLC. While we’ve worked very closely thru the years with Wildlife Specialists it has become a perfect synergy to combine the very best of environmental resource management and the best in aerial services to provide our clients with an expanded suite of services.
At the core this will allow us to streamline the services of both companies into one cohesive unit and continue to serve our clients better! Both companies will continue to function under their own name with their reputation for excellence but now with the ability to present faster, better, safer data to our combined clients.

“We are pleased to inform you that your manuscript has been judged scientifically suitable for publication “ … These are exciting words when they apply to projects that we’ve helped to form and provide support on. Some of you may recall Remote Intelligence’s involvement in the ongoing studies to help control the spread of deadly diseases in more impoverished settings, here is the published article on using sUAS based technology to help identify wild dogs in Guatemala.

This year has allowed us the opportunity to further develop one of our main passions, EDUCATION. This semester we’ve partnered with Juniata College in central Pennsylvania to work on several projects with some of their engineering and physics students.
The two primary areas of focus are on Whitetail Deer Thermal Surveys and Methane Detection.
DJI M210 with the XT2 Payload
The Deer Thermal team is working to develop algorithms that count deer and categorize percentage of certainty of identity from thermal imaging. Learning to quantify real world data and work thru the challenges of data collection has been a great learning opportunity. At the end of the project the goal will be to take thermal video and still photos to produce an ortho-mosaic with categorized thermal signatures and help refine the scientific defendability of such surveys.
Thermal image sample
While one team scans loads of imagery, the second group is working to develop standards in the field of Methane Gas detection for pipeline integrity projects. They’ve been working with data sets that are cutting edge for the industry.
Gas leak detection
2D Visual map of Methane Levels
3D Model of Methane Levels
Methane detection outputs are mapped both in a 2d visual and a 3D model. The students are working to integrate the 3D map into a virtual 3D environment created from digital models of the base layers. This will help users to see the plumes and flow in the real “virtual” world.
DJI M210 with Sniffer4D Methane Detector
We are so excited for both of these projects and for the exceptional students working on them. Unfortunately, Covid-19 has shut down their classroom learning but their spirits are high and they continue to work on solutions while they’re all at home. We’ll keep you posted on this exciting project.
If either of these services are interesting to you or your company let us know. We’re actively doing both projects for our current clients and refining the process all the time with projects like this one.
Thermal Deer survey's are a great tool for wildlife management. Here's an example of a single frame from both a standard RGB camera and the Flir Infrared Camera side by side. Both are capturing the same piece of forest but the thermal clearly stands out for getting a real count of animals on the ground.

Working in conjunction with RTI International and NCDOT to demonstrate the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Crash Scene Investigation. This is video of a simulated crash scene in which a vehicle collides with a light pick-up truck carrying passengers in the cargo bed.
Efficient transfer of Water is huge in the Energy Industry. This video demonstrates the effectiveness in detecting water leaks on transfer lines using thermal imaging mounted on a small unmanned aerial system. Drones make easy work of covering vast amounts of territory with relative ease.

It was our pleasure to work alongside RTI on this project, UAS are disrupting the everyday practices for gathering timely, valuable information in nearly every sector. Here’s a link to the project results:

2017 was a great year at @R_Intelligence we're really excited to see what 2018 holds in store. Consulting, Mapping, Ecosystem Services, Industrial Applications

When tragedy strikes it's important to have eyes on the situation immediately. We've been working hard to make sure local responders have as much information as possible to respond to the worst situations. Here's a short video from the recent snap thaw here in north central Pennsylvania.
It's amazing to see the power of water in all it's forms liquid, solid and gas.
We are honored to be chosen to speak at Wildlife Habitat Council's National Conference this year. We will be focusing on the benefits of using UAS (drones) in project planning & mapping, volumetrics, 3D modeling, project monitoring and much more. Also, we will talk about the new FAA regs, compliance and safety!
In addition to mapping and managing eco-systems, Remote Intelligence also can provide much needed data for managing large scale ongoing projects like solid waste management facilities. This week we began the process of monitoring this site. In addition to helping our client keep track of the property, they also receive volumetric data to track the rate of fill and predict lifespan of the project.
Here are some examples of an ortho-mosaic and color elevation map created using our drones. From the 3D point cloud model we're able to determine volumetric measurements for the capacity of the landfill.
Our own Rob Schwarz is in attendance at the 39th Annual Meeting of the Southeast Deer Study Group held in Charlotte, North Carolina. We're presenting some research and developments on the use of thermal imaging via Unmanned Aerial Systems. Be sure to look for our poster and check in with Rob if you're there.
We're excited to share our findings with those who work hard to protect and manage wildlife populations. With our Wildlife Biologists, Land Management Specialists and GIS Specialists on staff we help our clients find the best ways to make sure that human, land and wildlife assets are managed well.

Here's a little video to show some more of the many applications of using Unmanned Aerial Systems (Drones).
The best thing about winter?.... It's thermal imaging season! With our certified wildlife biologist, land planners and GIS specialists in house we can help accomplish many of the projects that benefit most from thermal imaging.
We continue to get great results back as we assist clients in better understanding the environment they manage. From deer density studies necessary for deer management, to building heat loss and stray voltage identification, and even pond/lake, sewer/septic leakage discovery we have both the experience and tools to help.
With a great first half of winter under our belts we're also running a limited time promotion for this great tech. Make sure you contact us soon if you're interested, availability is limited.
To all of our clients, supporters and partners, thank you for being a part of this very important year for us at Remote Intelligence. In 2016, we will continue to take to the skies to offer up the best UAS services and expertise. The experience gained in 2015 along with the blessing of the FAA’s exemption leaves us confident that 2016 will be even better. It's going to be a great year and we look forward to working with you.
“Ours is the commencement of a flying age, and I am happy to have popped into existence at a period so interesting.”
From all of us at the Remote Intelligence, best wishes on a very Merry Christmasand prosperous New Year.

Once again Remote Intelligence had the pleasure of participating in the PA State Laurel Festival held in Wellsboro, PA (our headquarters). In addition to pulling the Rotary Float, we provided Wellsboro Homepage with aerial coverage of the event. We love our local community and are thankful for the great partnerships we have!
Being based in rural Pennsylvania allows RI to work with many businesses that work in ecology based services and products. In June we had the pleasure of helping Brookfield Maple Products gain a better understanding of precisely how the contours of their 320 hundred acre maple "sugar bush" forest lays out. They now have a detailed ortho-mosaic (photo) and topographic contours (at 5 foot intervals) of their property.
