AirStar UAVs To Play A Role In Forensic Animation

Parent Company Mundus Group Signs LOI With Litigation Animation Inc.

One of the recognized roles for non-military UAVs is as a camera platform that can go places a conventional aircraft can't. Mundus Group has signed a Letter of Intent with Litigaion Animation Inc. to provide that company with forensic images for animation used in litigation. The camera platform will be UAVs manufactured by it's subsidiary, AirStar.

Aerial images are used to help orientate the viewer to an accident scene. They can also be used to determine lines of sight, distances, positions and establish time lines for various events. LAI uses helicopters, airplanes, satellites, cranes, remote control aircraft, and pole cams to acquire aerial images. Survey data is used to modify aerials to correct dimensions.

Litigation Animations says the advantages of having a strategic relationship with AirStar include the cost effectiveness of quick access and professional aerial photography at a fraction of the cost of using the full sized manned helicopters. Manned helicopters are not able to fly in close proximity to the site like the UAVs, which are smoother, quieter and generally unnoticed, as they do not disturb the immediate vicinity as a manned helicopter would. With the public safety benefits and superior aerial maneuverability of AirStar's UAVs, they are also used to videotape vehicle motion during accident reconstruction. The subsequent video is then used to calibrate the vehicle velocities.

LAI engineers 3D mathematical computer models that are driven by the experts' simulation data, 3D survey data, eyewitness testimony, and physical evidence gathered from the scene. These accurate 3D computer models are used to determine lines of sight, and objects' positions and size.

Accident photographs are engineered into three-dimensional models using computer photogrammetry. The three-dimensional scene can now be measured. Computer cameras can also be placed anywhere in the scene to view lines of sight and obstructions. Accident video is also engineered into a three-dimensional scene where velocity and acceleration can now be calculated.
