Aerial Mapping
Drones enable collection of remotely sensed data across a variety of spatial areas, allowing us to deliver non-contact, non-destructive surveys and inspections for a range of industries and mapping applications. We use commercial enterprise drones to capture high resolution imagery to create maps and models using photogrammetry. The captured images can be used to create point clouds, orthomosaics, 3D models and 2D maps. We use industry grade RTK/PPK drones giving better than 5cm accuracy. RGB, thermal infrared and/or multispectral data can be analysed and imported into GIS where users can perform 2D and 3D measurements, including distances and areas, terrain profiles and volumetric calculations, or as individual layers in your environmental monitoring project.
Aerial Mapping with Drones
Environmental Drone Services Ltd offers a range of mapping and measured aerial surveys. These include:
❖ 2D high resuloution orthomosaics, for mapping, measuring and monitoring. Outputs:GeoTiff (.tif), .kml
❖ 3D modelling providing accurate meshes. Outputs: .ply, .fbx, .dxf, .obj, .pdf
❖ Digital surface model (DSM) for both built and natural features. Outputs: GeoTiff (.tif), .xyz, .las, .laz
❖ Index maps for vegetation condition monitoring. Outputs: GeoTiff (.tif), .shp
❖ Thermal mapping. Outputs: GeoTiff (.tif)
❖ Full-color point cloud. Outputs: .las, .laz, .ply, .xyz
