Photogrammetry, Drone & LiDAR

What does the site look like, to the centimetre?

Drone mapping services end to end: we plan and fly the survey, then process the imagery and LiDAR into orthophotos, surface models and point clouds.

We plan and fly the survey, process the imagery and LiDAR, and deliver the final product. Photogrammetry turns overlapping photos into one orthomosaic and a surface model; LiDAR processing cleans the point cloud and classifies it into ground, vegetation and buildings.

Where a drone is not the right tool, we orthorectify very-high-resolution satellite imagery so it lines up with your maps, and we compare surveys from different dates to show what was built or changed.

Who it is for

  1. Energy developers checking roofs and sites
  2. Farms and orchards counting trees
  3. Property developers measuring buildable land
  4. Infrastructure teams documenting sites and routes

What we do.

From the flight plan to the final product. They play in turn; pick one.

What you get.

What lands with your team at the end of the work. The bands play in turn; open any one.

GeoTIFF or COG

One true-scale image

The whole site in one corrected image, where distances and areas can be measured.

Surface and terrain

The ground, with and without what stands on it

Height models for slope, volume, drainage and flood studies.

LAS or LAZ

Every point in a class

Ground, vegetation and buildings separated, ready for your software.

Vector lines

The terrain, drawn

Contour lines for plans, drawings and maps.

Questions about this service.

01What do we receive at the end?

An orthomosaic, surface and terrain models (DSM and DTM), a classified point cloud and contours, in the formats your team uses.

02Can you work from satellite imagery instead of a drone?

Yes. For wider areas we orthorectify very-high-resolution satellite imagery so it lines up with your maps.

03Can you process imagery or LiDAR we already have?

Yes. We process data you already flew and compare it with earlier surveys.

04Which formats do you deliver?

GeoTIFF or Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF for the orthomosaic and the models, LAS or LAZ for the point cloud, and vector files for the contours.
