Remote sensing, GIS and spatial data research
Hardware and software for the efficient and reliable collection of field data
ADAS provides the hardware, software and expertise for the digital capture of field data, enabling the recording of measurements and observations efficiently and accurately.
Availability and reliability of the data underlying environmental management support tools is essential, whether it is collected directly on the ground or using remote sensing technology. We have teams of field staff across the UK collecting data digitally on hand-held or tractor-mounted devices from a diverse range of ecosystems every year, used for a range of research and consultancy projects.
Remote sensing
Remote sensing technology can provide a cost-effective method for quickly assessing trends across much larger areas.
In agriculture, it can identify a range of factors associated with crop production, such as soil condition and water drainage issues.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are used to collect more targeted data for field assessments.
Assess your trendsMethods of data collection
We have a depth of experience in data collection and validation in every ecosystem, including upland and lowland farming, woodland, river systems, lakes, urban and coastal.
Digital data collection using hand-held devices
We can supply a range of suitable hand-held hardware for simple data collection. Alongside these, we offer bespoke data capture tools to ensure efficiency, completeness and accuracy when collecting data in the field.
Data collection using sensors
We offer development, testing, and calibration of sensors (e.g., Nitrogen sensors) for use in precision farming and yield enhancement applications.
Data collection using UAVs
UAVs are available for scanning larger areas to produce valuable cost-effective data for crop management and archaeology.
Remote sensing data sourcing and manipulation
We source suitable satellite and aerial photography imagery for the correct time periods and locations, and calculation of relevant metrics using remote sensing software.
Capture your field data
Using hand-held or tractor-mounted devices, we accurately gather observations and recommendations.
