January 25, 2010 AirStar parent company Mundus Group signs LOI to form UAV partnership with Legal Forensic expert, Litigation Animation Inc. Mundus Group continues its ambitious plans to expand subsidiary AirStar’s UAV presence with a strategic relationship agreement with Litigation Animation Inc. In the world of forensic legal animation, Litigation Animation, Inc. (LAI) stands out as industry innovator with a record high municipal wrongful death case won at $24 million and roots with Naval forensic crash reconstruction. Established in 1994 LAI is located in the Silicon Valley where they utilize state-of-the-art technology to produce some of the countries most compelling forensic animation. Having a working association with experts in photography, accident reconstruction, human factors, biomechanics and the vision sciences, they use cutting edge computer networks and software to push the envelope in courtroom presentation technology. Aerial images are a very important part of forensic animation because they help orientate the viewer to an accident scene. They can also be used to determine lines of sight, distances, positions and establish time lines for various events. LAI uses helicopters, airplanes, satellites, cranes, remote control aircraft, and pole cams to acquire aerial images. Survey data is used to modify aerials to correct dimensions. The advantages of having a strategic relationship with AirStar are many including the cost effectiveness of quick access, professional aerial photography at a fraction of the cost it is using the full sized manned helicopters. Manned helicopters are not able to fly in close proximity to the site like the UAVs are capable and are smoother, quieter and generally unnoticed, as they do not disturb the immediate vicinity as a manned helicopter would. With the public safety benefits and superior aerial maneuverability of AirStars UAVs, they are also used to videotape vehicle motion during accident reconstruction. The subsequent video is then used to calibrate the vehicle velocities. LAI engineers 3D mathematical computer models that are driven by the experts’ simulation data, 3D survey data, eyewitness testimony, and physical evidence gathered from the scene. These accurate 3D computer models are used to determine lines of sight, objects positions and size. LAI pioneers new and innovative techniques to insure that the motion, survey and photogrammetric data is not only accurate, but also dramatic and compelling. Accident photographs are engineered into three-dimensional models using computer photogrammetry. The three-dimensional scene can now be measured. Computer cameras can also be placed anywhere in the scene to view lines of sight and obstructions. Accident video is also engineered into a three-dimensional scene where velocity and acceleration can now be calculated. We have been in discussions since last year and have worked with the company as a UAV technology and support provider AirStar International.
