UAV for participatory mapping in Haiti

UAV for participatory mapping in Haiti

OpenStreetMap - OSM www.openstreetmap.org Use of GPS and satellite imagery (Bing) to build the map

History January 12 th, 2010 : earthquake - intensity 7 230 000 deads, 1.5 million of IDP Creation of OpenStreetMap (OSM) communities ; COSMHA : Community OSM Haiti : - Port-au-Prince : COSMHA-PaP - Saint-Marc : COSMHA-STM - North - North-East : COSMHA-NNE Support of different organizations : HOT/Cap103, IOM, Drone Adventure, OSM-Fr, CartONG, and OSM volunteers contributors! participatory mapping OSM project in Haiti One week before the earthquake One week after the earthquake

TITRE DE LA SLIDE A brand new tool : the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) UAV, what for? Take aerial images with high resolution (4-10 cm/pix) Create an accurate Digital Elevation Model (15-20 cm) Top vision - high resolution Various uses of UAVs : Natural hazards Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Inspection Topographic surveys of landfills Agriculture Mining / quarrying Environmental Management Hydrological analyzes Research and rescue missions Coastal surveillance Monitoring of hazardous areas or difficult to access Monitoring of refugee camps (IDP) DEM

TITRE DE LA SLIDE A brand new tool : the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) Canaan, November 2010 Time evolution Updated image The same area in June 2010 (5 months before)

TITRE DE LA SLIDE A new tool : the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) Lines levels with 1 meter of resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM)

UAV for participatory mapping in Haiti UAV deployable for participatory mapping like OSM : Project with C.OSM.HA CartONG OSM Fr in May-June 2014 Bing satellite imagery UAV image

TITRE DE LA SLIDE Mission of May-June 2014 42 flights (70 sq km) with 3 communities : - 18 over PaP, Rivière Grise (30 sq km, 8 cm/pix) - 9 over St-Marc (14 sq km, 6-10 cm/pix) - 15 over North & Nort-East departments

Some pictures

TITRE DE LA SLIDE Mission of May-June 2014 Knowing the territory : the first step to act for the communities Aerial imagery to uphold the field actors vision of the territory and to put the communities at the center UAV is a uniting tool that brings communities together Train the communities to map and use the UAV Participatory mapping makes possible to update geographic information and plan interventions together Participative mapping is a powerful tool to enhance the communities' resilience facing natural disasters, but also to engage a dynamic for the local development of the territory. It induces change from and with the local communities, despite difficulties 42 flights (70 sq km) with 3 communities : - 18 over PaP, Rivière Grise (30 sq km, 8 cm/pix) - 9 over St-Marc (14 sq km, 6-10 cm/pix) - 15 over North & Nort-East departments Salon des Soidarités Juin 2014

TITRE DE LA SLIDE Appendix #1 Main features of «ebee» UAV 2 functions : Aerial image high resolution (4-10 cm/pix) Accurate Digital Elevation Model (15-20 cm) Flights supervised and secured by remote control with computer Manual take-off Battery life of 30 min : o 1 sq km of coverage with 4 cm / pix (altitude of 130 m) o 2 sq km of coverage with 8 cm / pix (altitude of 260 m) Wind resistant up to 12 m/s (45 km/h) Lightweight (700g), no crash risk (security) Range up to 3 km, depending of the field Easy to use, although requires a minimal experience

TITRE DE LA SLIDE Appendix #2 Technical strenghts and weaknesses of the UAV Strenghts : Quick intervention, even on cloudy days Response to specific requests Setting of the flight characteristics Ability to change the flight plan during a mission Automated post-processing to build DEM & mosaic picture Weaknesses : Superficy cover restricted Wind < 12 m/s Landing fragilised Not static more suitable for imagery than video
