What is drone mapping?

Advanced geospatial data acquisition using precision photogrammetry, not simple aerial photography.

Survey-grade technology

Professional drone mapping combines multi-sensor data capture with advanced RTK/GPS positioning to create georeferenced, measurable datasets. Our certified pilots use survey-grade equipment to achieve centimeter-level accuracy through Ground Control Point integration.

  • Ground Sampling Distance: 1-5cm/pixel depending on flight altitude
  • Positional Accuracy: ±2cm with GCP integration (1-2 pixel GSD in X,Y)
  • Coverage Capability: Up to 1,000 hectares per day

Professional processing workflow

1 RTK/GPS Capture
2 Photogrammetry Processing
3 Quality Verification
4 Multi-Format Delivery
