Drone Mapping 2D Orthomosaic and 3D Photogrammetry

Drone mapping is the process of using drones (unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs) equipped with cameras or sensors to capture aerial data that is then processed into maps, 3D models, or measurements of the Earth’s surface or structures.

How Drone Mapping Works:

  • Flight Planning: A mapping drone flies a predefined path over the area of interest, capturing overlapping images at regular intervals. The drone’s camera or sensor (RGB, multispectral, LiDAR, or Thermal) takes hundreds or thousands of photos.

  • RTK Drone Mapping stands for Real-Time Kinematic Drone Mapping — a high-precision method of mapping that uses GPS correction technology to significantly improve the accuracy of aerial data collected by drones.

  • Post Production/Data Processing
    • Orthomosaic map: A georeferenced, high-resolution map
    • 3D Point Clouds/ mesh: A digital reconstruction of terrain or buildings for percise measurements and volumetrics
    • Digital Terrain/Digital Surface Models: Height or elevation maps
    • Contour maps: Used for engineering and planning
    • Volumetric analysis: Calculate stockpile or excavation volumes
