We now offer high accuracy terrain and infrastructure models using droneaerial imagery.
Utilizing highly advanced drone technology, we are able to offer complete 3D digital models that are within 1 cm accuracy. These digital assets are meticulous, offering clients a data collection tool with the type of efficiency and accuracy that was previously unattainable. Moreover, there is a growing trend towards leveraging cloud-based platforms for data hosting, facilitating remote access for clients to analyze, annotate, compare over time and seamlessly share the information within their teams.
Here is a great example from a recent client. This is the Royal Bay development that is managed by Gable Craft Homes. In this dataset you can see parcel boundaries included. This is being used to monitor progress, verify completion and enhance communication within their team.nditions.
For any sort of measurements, this is the most accurate representation of the area of interest (AOI.) It is displayed in 2D form and allows the client to measure distance, elevation, area, volume, slope, contours and much more. This “image” can be printed as well for more tactile uses like during office meetings. Commonly, other documents are laid over the orthomosaic, such as site plans or parcel boundaries.
This deliverable is the digital representation of the AOI. It is sometimes referred to as a “digital twin.” These 3D models are useful and allow the clients to “fly over” the AOI. It’s also a snapshot in time, allowing them to compare current models with previous ones. The most popular use for 3D models in this field is “Construction Monitoring” where the same site is flown bi weekly or monthly to monitor progress. These 3D models have also been used in movie production as well. Occasionally photogrammetry is used in the actual scene such as in the Matrix.
Construction: Construction companies use drones for site surveys, progress monitoring, and creating 3D models of construction sites. This technology aids in project planning, safety inspections, and efficient resource allocation.
Mining: Drones are employed in mining operations for surveying and mapping terrain, monitoring stockpiles, and conducting volumetric measurements. This improves operational efficiency and safety.
Real Estate: Real estate professionals utilize drone mapping to create aerial views of properties for marketing purposes. Drones can capture high-quality images and videos, showcasing properties from unique perspectives.
Infrastructure Inspection: Utility companies, transportation agencies, and infrastructure developers use drones to inspect bridges, pipelines, power lines, and other critical infrastructure. Drones provide close-up views of structures, enabling efficient maintenance and identifying potential issues.
Insurance: Insurance companies employ drones to assess property damage after natural disasters, accidents, or other events. Drones can quickly survey affected areas, helping insurers process claims faster and more accurately.
Surveying and Mapping: Surveying firms and cartography companies utilize drones for land surveying, topographic mapping, and creating detailed elevation models. Drones offer a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional surveying methods.
