About Lloyd Coulter

ASPRS Certified Mapping Scientist - Remote SensingYears of Relevant Experience: 25 YearsSkills:* Remotely sensing & image processing* Geographic information systems (GIS)* Unmanned aerial systems (UAS)/drones for mapping & inspection* Project management and data production* Strong GPS and GIS technical experience* Effective oral communication and presentation skills* Aggressive problem solving skills* Technical documentation and report writing* Proficient with ERDAS Imagine and Leica Photogrammetry Suite (remote sensing)* Proficient with ESRI software (GIS)* Proficient with Agisoft Metashape (drone image processing)* Proficient with Microsoft Office productsCareer Interests:* Effective geospatial information collection and management* Improve methods for UAS/drone inspection* Improve methods for persistent wide area surveillance* Improve methods for change detection* Stay current on geospatial technology and work with advanced systems/sensors* Provide expert, high quality analysis of imagery and other geospatial data* Work in a challenging but innovative and exciting environmentAccomplishments:* Developed Repeat Station Imaging (RSI) technique for detailed change monitoring* Pioneered method for achieving precise (pixel-level) spatial registration between multitemporal airborne frame imagery (in conjunction with Professor Doug Stow at San Diego State University).* Created highly accurate method for detecting moving objects (e.g, people, vehicles, animals, etc.) using high spatial and high temporal resolution airborne imagery (for unmanned or light aircraft applications).* Coordinated and lead the generation of multiple orthophotograph mosaics of the San Diego County section of the U.S./Mexico border for joint project with the U.S. Border Patrol (aerial photograph acquisition, orthorectification, and mosaicking).* Implemented ERDAS Imagine spatial model for correction of bi-directional reflectance effects in aerial frame imagery. This model won the ERDAS Spatial Modeler contest and aspects of the model appear to be implemented in ERDAS Imagine color balancing routines.Specialties:* Remote sensing and image processing - FAA Part 107 pilot of UAS - airborne manned/unmanned image collection - image preprocessing - change detection - feature extraction* Geographic information systems* Light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data analysis* Global positioning systems (GPS)
