Mapping and Surveying

Drone photogrammetry involves capturing large volumes of 2D images over a geographical area and compiling them to create 3D topographical models and orthomosaic maps—or images created from collections of photographs. 

In effect, drone photogrammetry makes it possible to see the same ground point from different angles and elevations. From there, you can easily create a 3D map that includes a range of helpful visual cues, like color and texture.  Additional outputs include Digital Elevation model,  3D and Point Cloud and a number of vegetation indices.

 Multispectral imaging captures and records light across a range of wavelengths within the electromagnetic spectrum - including those outside of the visible spectrum, such as infrared and ultra-violet. 

As a result, multispectral imaging provides the ability to extract additional information which the human eye or standard industrial vision cameras fail to capture.

And this extra information has tremendous value to those working on environment, agriculture, forestry, and land management projects.

Construction and landscaping teams often use photogrammetry to create accurate 3D models of public spaces. Companies then use these images to study urban landscapes and influence new designs. 

What’s more, drone photogrammetry is useful in congested public spaces, as well as places that are otherwise inaccessible via satellites and crewed aircraft. 

 Drones can be used to calculate stockpile measurements and make it easy to compare your current stockpile volumes to previous surveys and track site progress.
