In the depths of Maine winter, always nice to look back at summer photos, and think of warmer weather soon to come. During UAS survey of eelgrass this past summer in Portland Harbor, Maine, we captured this scene of Fort Gorges and receding fog bank. Eelgrass is found all along Maine’s coast. This seagrass is […]

Aerial Drone Beach Erosion Surveys in Southern Maine
This past week Nearview completed a series of aerial drone beach erosion studies for the Maine Coastal Program. We collected high-resolution elevation data from Maine beaches as part of a sand movement assessment project, and are working to create seamless topo-bathymetry coverage at three important public beaches in southern Maine. Our goal is to develop […]
Multispectral Mapping of Aquatic Invasive Species in Massachusetts
Nearview is collecting multispectral drone imagery to help OARS efficiently and accurately map invasive species along the Assabet, Concord, and Sudbury Rivers in Massachusetts http://www.oars3rivers.org/threats/invasive. Specifically, we are developing spectral signatures and imaging techniques to detect Water Chestnut http://www.oars3rivers.org/threats/invasive/water-chestnut/, which is choking native species, and clogging up waterways and reservoirs. Our aerial imaging and analysis […]

Nearview and Substructure offer clients high-resolution, seamless topo-bathy products for mapping shorelines and the land-water interface
Capturing and developing seamless high-resolution nearshore, foreshore, and backshore topo-bathy digital surface and elevation models in the past has proved extremely challenging. Although NOAA Office for Coastal Management’s coastal LiDAR data sets provide critical elevation data required to produce datum-based shorelines, bathymetric points collected via Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX) are […]
