Brian Falls joined Aerial Data Service in September of 2006 as the Technical Representative. Mr. Falls serves as the Technical Representative, consulting with clients on proposals and project estimating, as well as, traveling to various trade shows throughout the United States. Mr. Falls has 18 years of experience and has worked in every area of the photogrammetric mapping industry, including surveying, photo lab production and stereocompilation. Mr. Falls responsiblities also include various sales and marketing activities. He is experienced with ADS’s Zeiss P=Series analytical stereoplotters, Intergraph Z3 softcopy photogrammetry workstations and Intergraph Photo-T software.
Some of the projects for which Mr. Falls has provided services include:
Loop 340 South of Waco, Texas, TxDOT, Waco District
Aerial Data Service provided photogrammetric services for TxDOT, Waco District's Loop 340 Project which was located south of Waco, Texas. The mapping corridor was 1,200 feet wide and the digital orthophoto corridor was 1,800 feet wide. ADS obtained new black-and-white aerial photography at an altitude of 1,500' AMT. Full analytical aerotriangulation was performed to extend control throughout the project photography for the development of digital mapping and orthophotos. Digital data were collected at a 1" = 50' scale for planimetric features identifiable on, or interpretable from, the aerial photography. DTM data were collected in a manner that accurately depicted the terrain. Contours at 1' intervals were developed from the DTM data. Digital orthophotos with a .25' pixel resolution were developed of the specified project area. All digital data were delivered in accordance with TxDOT, Waco District's specifications.
I-35 – Loop 340 to Myers Lane, Waco, Texas, TxDOT, Waco District
Aerial Data Service provided photogrammetric services for TxDOT, Waco District's I-35 Project from 1,000 feet south of Loop 340 to Myers Lane which was located on the north side of Waco, Texas. The digital orthophoto corridor was 1,600 feet wide. ADS obtained new black-and-white aerial photography at an altitude of 4,800' AMT. Digital orthophotos with a .5' pixel resolution were developed of the specified project area. All digital data were delivered in accordance with TxDOT, Waco District's specifications.
SH 78 from SH 205 to FM 6, Colin County, Texas, TxDOT, Dallas District, Contract #18-6XXP4001, Work Authorization #1
The project began 500’ west of the junction of SH 205 and SH 78 and continued north along SH 78 to 500’ north of the junction of SH 78 and FM 6, approximately 2.7 miles. The project corridor width was approximately 1,200’. ADS obtained aerial photography at an altitude of 1,500' above mean terrain (AMT) for the specified project corridor. Airborne GPS and inertial measuring unit (IMU) data was collected simultaneously with the aerial photography mission. Analytical aerotriangulation was performed to extend control throughout the project photography. Digital planimetric mapping at a 1" = 50' scale was developed. Digital terrain model (DTM) data were collected, and 1' contour intervals were developed from the DTM data. Digital orthophoto rectifications with a 0.25' pixel resolution were developed for the corridor. All digital data were delivered in the specified HMR, Mr. Sid and TIF/TFW formats, in accordance with TxDOT specifications.
