This document discusses marine spatial planning and the use of full motion video (FMV) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It defines FMV as georeferenced video that can be played and analyzed in GIS software. Features can be digitized directly onto FMV. UAVs are described as small, remote-controlled aircraft that can collect high-definition imagery and video at low altitudes to assess habitats, vessel groundings, and response efforts. The document provides examples of FMV and demonstrates how it can be used with UAV footage to efficiently collect customized imagery and video data for clients.

2. Topics for discussion
• Full Motion Video (FMV)
• Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
• Applications and Uses

3. What is Full Motion Video (FMV)?
• Allows you to play live streams of video or video files in your map
• Frames from the video can be extracted as single georeferenced
images, or groups of images stored in a mosaic dataset
• Playback of time-stamped video data can be synchronized with
other time-enabled data and played together on the map
• Features can be digitized directly on the video player and will
appear on the map

4. What is Full Motion Video (FMV)?
• Based on Motion Imagery
Standards Board (MISB)
• Originally developed for
Department of Defense
• ESRI Add-In available (free)

• Supports playback and
management of multiple
simultaneous feeds of video
• Display the footprint of the
video image, the center of the
image, and the position and
track of the video platform

5. Full Motion Video (FMV) Capabilities
Full Motion Video
▫ Specially captured and processed video that is georeferenced for use in a GIS
▫ Video can be used as
 Visual intelligence tool
 Source for data capture through heads-up digitizing (tracing) of features of interest
▫ Full Motion Video maintains data integrity
 All navigation metadata maintained within video file
▫ ESRI Full Motion Video Add-in
 Allows viewer to add point, line, polygon features within video

8. What is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)?
• Small, unmanned, remote-controlled,
multi-rotor aircraft
• Can be equipped with tools to collect
high-definition images, video and other
remotely-sensed data at a low altitude
• Bridges the gap between traditional
high-altitude satellite and aerial imagery
and on-the-ground field verification
• Enables collection of more specialized
and project-specific imagery and video
than traditional aerial or satellite
imagery
• High-definition images and video
• Opportunistic data collection

9. UAV Operation
WAASP (Wide Array Aerial Survey Platform)
▫ Remote-control operated by ground pilot
▫ Flight operations carried out by pre-
determined waypoints
▫ Equipped with First Person View (FPV)
 Provides pilot with real-time cockpit
perspective
 Useful for aircraft monitoring and control
 Ensures survey accuracy and efficiency
▫ Full DGPS integration and data telemetry
 Active tracking and guidance of WAASP while
in flight

10. UAV Uses
• Habitat mapping and surveys
▫ ESI Mapping
▫ Hard bottom Surveys (clear water)
• Vessel grounding assessments
▫ Pre and post removal
• Response Efforts
▫ Surface Slick mapping

11. UAV Capabilities
Features and Capabilities
▫ Can be equipped with a multitude of
photographic and remote sensing
instruments and equipment (imaging and
non-imaging) 12lb. payload
▫ Allows for UAV use to fit a wide scope of
project-specific applications
▫ Can collect data where satellites, planes
and field teams cannot
 Hovering over water
 Skimming treetops
 Operate at a relatively low altitude in relation
to ground control station
