Camera innovation:

A new camera innovation from Leica that can combines image capture with 3D laser mapping, is being used for the first time to capture UK cities.

Bluesky International has used the Leica CityMapper, the world’s first hybrid airborne sensor combining vertical and oblique imagery with 3D laser scanning, to capture major cities throughout the UK.

It is the first time this technology has been used commercially in the UK to this level. The captured city data is currently available to Bluesky and Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, it constituent components of vertical orthorectified aerial imagery, oblique photographs and LiDAR point cloud data. Plans are in place to also include the imagery in Hexagon’s HxGN Content Program in the near future.

Using the CityMapper, Bluesky has mapped parts of London, Manchester and Birmingham as well as Brighton, Bristol, Cambridge, Norwich, Nottingham and Oxford. It intends to increase its coverage by capturing additional towns and cities across the UK and Ireland in 2019.

“The combination of multiple survey grade cameras and LiDAR enables, for the first time, the simultaneous capture of data for the automatic creation of highly accurate and detailed citywide 3D models, with one sensor,” said Rachel Tidmarsh, managing director of Bluesky.

Solar Energy

Solar energy is an abundant, free, unlimited, renewable and continuous flow of energy that can be utilised to meet the future challenges of energy need. The sun, is like a fusion reactor that has been burning over 4 billion years. If we harness whole energy of sun, it’s one minute supply meets the world's energy needs for one year. In one day, it provides more energy than our current population would consume in 27 years. In fact, "The amount of solar radiation striking the earth over a three-day period is equivalent to the energy stored in all fossil energy sources." In 1839 a French physicist named Edmund Becquerel realized that the sun's energy could produce a "photovoltaic effect" (photo = light, voltaic = electrical potential). In the 1880s, selenium photovoltaic (PV) cells were developed that could convert light into electricity with 1-2% efficiency. When sunlight strike the solar cell, the electrons their atoms, allowing the electrons to flow thro
