Dudek Cloud Workstations

Intro

Natural disaster area mapping

Dudek uses drones to collect highly detailed visual imagery to help emergency responders quickly recover and rebuild from landslides, hurricanes, and other disasters. Using Workspot Workstation Cloud on Microsoft Azure has reduced image processing time from five days to six hours and accelerated the decision making required to save lives.

Processing the data with Azure

Dudek uses unmanned aerial systems (drones with ground control) to collect highly detailed visual imagery to help emergency responders quickly recover and rebuild from landslides, hurricanes, and other disasters. Depending on the acreage of the flight, processing this data could take up to five full days before it could be put to use. The team uses Workspot Workstation Cloud on Microsoft Azure, along with new clustering software and now data processing time for a similarly sized job has dropped to just six hours.
