Aerial Survey & Mapping
What we do?
We use drones equipped with specialized sensors and cameras to capture high-resolution aerial imagery and data. These services are employed in various industries, such as construction, agriculture, mining, environmental management, and urban planning, to create accurate and detailed maps, 3D models, and other geospatial information. UAV mapping services typically include flight planning, data capture, data processing, and the generation of actionable insights.
Benefits:
- Efficiency Gains Precision and Accuracy: UAV mapping services provide highly accurate and precise data, allowing for detailed mapping and analysis. This level of precision is often unattainable with traditional surveying methods.
- Cost-Efficiency: Compared to manned aerial surveys or ground-based data collection, using drones is more cost-effective. It reduces the need for expensive equipment and extensive labor hours.
- Time-Saving: Drones can quickly cover large areas and capture data in a fraction of the time it would take using traditional methods, enabling rapid project turnaround.
- Safety: UAV mapping eliminates the need for workers to access hazardous or hard-to-reach areas. This enhances overall safety by reducing on-site risks.
- Versatility: UAVs can be equipped with various sensors, including LiDAR, multispectral cameras, and thermal cameras, making them versatile for a wide range of applications, from agriculture and forestry to disaster response.
- Real-Time Data: UAVs can provide real-time or near-real-time data, enabling project managers and decision-makers to monitor and respond to changes quickly.
- Environmental Monitoring: UAV mapping services are valuable for environmental monitoring, allowing organizations to track changes in landscapes, ecosystems, and wildlife habitats over time.
- Efficient Planning: The data collected through UAV mapping can aid in effective project planning, helping organizations optimize resource allocation and reduce operational inefficiencies.
- High-Resolution Imagery: UAVs can capture high-resolution imagery, enabling organizations to detect small details, defects, or anomalies that might be missed with other methods.
- Data Integration: UAV mapping data can be easily integrated into Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and other mapping software for comprehensive analysis and decision-making.
- Improved Decision-Making: Accurate and up-to-date maps and models derived from UAV data enhance decision-making processes, leading to more informed choices in various industries.

Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is a technique used to obtain three-dimensional measurements and spatial information from two-dimensional images or photographs. It involves the process of capturing aerial imagery of an object or an area from multiple angles and then using these images to recreate a 3D representation of the subject. This is achieved through the analysis of the positions, angles, and perspectives of common points or features in the overlapping images.
The key steps in photogrammetry typically include:
- Image Acquisition: Taking photographs or images of the subject from different angles and positions. These images should have overlapping areas to ensure accurate reconstruction.
- Image Processing: Identifying common points or features in the images, which can be used as reference points. This process may involve image enhancement and correction to improve accuracy.
- Triangulation: Calculating the 3D positions of the common points by measuring the angles and distances between them from multiple images.
- Point Cloud Generation: Creating a dense cloud of 3D points representing the surface of the subject.
- Surface Reconstruction: Connecting the points to form a 3D surface model of the subject.
- Data Refinement: Refining the model to improve its accuracy and eliminate errors.
Photogrammetry has a wide range of applications, including:
- Cartography and Mapping: Creating detailed topographic maps and 3D models of landscapes.
- Architecture and Construction: Documenting and modeling buildings and construction sites.
- Forestry and Environmental Monitoring: Assessing forest density, tracking land changes, and monitoring environmental conditions.
- Archaeology: Recording and analyzing archaeological sites and artifacts.
- Engineering: Measuring and monitoring structures, such as bridges and dams.
- Agriculture: Managing crop health and assessing field conditions.
- Cultural Heritage Preservation: Documenting and preserving historical and cultural sites.
- Mining and Quarrying: Planning and monitoring mining operations.
Advancements in technology, including the use of drones and sophisticated software, have made photogrammetry more accessible and accurate in recent years, expanding its applications across various industries.
LiDAR Scanning
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry
UAV LiDAR (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Light Detection and Ranging) scanning is a remote sensing technology that combines LiDAR sensors with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) to capture highly accurate and detailed 3D spatial information of the Earth's surface and objects. This technology is used for various applications, including topographic mapping, forestry management, urban planning, infrastructure assessment, and environmental monitoring.
Our equipment and workflow:
- LiDAR Sensor: A LiDAR sensor emits laser pulses toward the ground or objects below and measures the time it takes for the laser pulses to bounce back (time-of-flight). This data is used to calculate distances and create precise 3D point clouds.
- UAV Integration: The LiDAR sensor is integrated into a UAV or drone, allowing it to be flown over the area of interest. The UAV is equipped with GPS and inertial measurement units (IMUs) to accurately determine its position and orientation during flight.
- Data Collection: During the UAV's flight, the LiDAR sensor continuously emits laser pulses, and as the UAV moves, it captures millions of data points from the terrain and objects below. These data points include information about the elevation, shape, and characteristics of the surface and objects.
- Data Processing: After the flight, the collected LiDAR data is processed using specialized software. This processing involves aligning the data points with the UAV's precise location and orientation information, creating a dense and accurate 3D point cloud.
- 3D Mapping and Analysis: The resulting 3D point cloud can be used for various purposes, such as creating high-resolution topographic maps, modeling vegetation, assessing the condition of infrastructure, analyzing land features, and more. It provides detailed spatial information that can be used for decision-making and planning.
Benefits of UAV LiDAR scanning include:
- High Accuracy: UAV LiDAR scanning provides highly accurate elevation and spatial data, surpassing the precision of traditional surveying methods.
- Efficiency: It allows for rapid data collection over large areas, reducing the time and cost required for surveying.
- Safety: Drones can access hard-to-reach or hazardous areas, reducing risks to personnel.
- Versatility: UAV LiDAR is suitable for various applications, including forestry management, agriculture, mining, infrastructure inspection, and environmental monitoring.
Overall, UAV LiDAR scanning is a powerful tool for capturing detailed 3D information about the Earth's surface and objects, enabling better-informed decisions and improved resource management in a wide range of industries.
