Vexcel, on the behalf of its partner the Geospatial Insurance Consortium (GIC), activated a full response to Hurricane Ian by deploying multiple fixed-wing aircraft to collect super-detailed imagery at a 7.5-10cm resolution. This imagery is being captured with Vexcel's market-leading UltraCam sensors then put through its world-class processing pipeline and delivered within 24 hours post-collection.
Both orthomosiac and oblique aerial imagery are published, providing multiple views of the damaged areas in Florida.
In addition, Vexcel and GIC will provide property-level damage assessments by applying machine learning to its aerial imagery. The damage assessment includes an overall Post Catastrophic score, approximate FEMA classification, roof damage analysis, and several pre-disaster attributes (roof material, footprint area, roof shape) for every residential building.
Using this aerial imagery and data analytics, users can:
- Better manage and scale responses to heavily impacted customers
- Proactively identify insurance policy holders with damaged property and begin the claims process immediately
- Deploy resources, i.e., field adjusters, utilities, and emergency managers more effectively and safely with detailed information
- Pinpoint key learnings to shore up underwriting and risk policies for future events
Imagery is available in Vexcel's web-based Viewer, partner platforms, and via APIs and Image Services for ArcGIS.
Free Access to Emergency Mangers
