| ![]() West Coast Aerial Photography, Inc. Photogrammetry Project Delivers Innovative Mosquito ControlWest Coast Aerial Photography, Inc. has pioneered a manned aerial photogrammetry strategy for mosquito abatement. Pilot project found nearly 100 green pools, providing critical data to vector control teams in under 24 hours.
The featured idea leverages precision imagery, acquired by manned aircraft for large-scale coverage, and innovative Pix4D software solutions to quickly map and identify standing water bodies, the primary breeding grounds for mosquitoes. During a recent pilot project in Los Banos, California, West Coast Aerial Photography's advanced workflow delivered striking results, identifying nearly 100 green swimming pools, many more than were anticipated. Crucially, the data acquisition flight, processing, and delivery of actionable maps was completed in less than 24 hours, a logistical feat initially believed to be impossible for such a large area. The need for such a proactive and rapid solution is urgent, as Dengue Fever and West Nile Virus are increasing in California, with mosquitoes acting as the primary vector. Conventional, reactive abatement approaches have been largely unsuccessful in stemming this public health surge.
