Drone photogrammetry captures photographs of a site or asset for spatial processing. Depending on the purpose, required accuracy and agreed data format, the client may receive an orthomosaic, 3D model, point cloud or change record.
What can this service be used for?
- orthomosaics and 3D models
- stockpile and volume measurement
- construction and terrain progress records
- site and asset inventories
How does drone photogrammetry work?
The operator plans a flight with suitable image overlap and then processes the photographs in specialist software. Flight design, control points or survey control and the processing method should reflect the accuracy required for the job.
What data can be delivered?
Depending on scope, outputs may include an orthomosaic, point cloud, 3D model, terrain model or volume measurement. Agree the coordinate reference system, file formats and the software in which the data will be used.
What is drone mapping used for?
These outputs support construction and site records, asset inventories, change monitoring and selected measurements. The service scope should match the decision that the collected data needs to support.
