Overview

UAV mapping delivers comprehensive aerial data capture and analysis for terrain, infrastructure and environmental monitoring. Using a variety of advanced drone technology, we create highly accurate, georeferenced images and data that provide essential spatial intelligence for surveying, agriculture and more.

Types of Imagery

UAV Mapping

Mapping Process

Our drones simultaneously capture oblique imagery and point cloud data using advanced photogrammetry and LiDAR, following precise flight paths to ensure complete coverage from multiple angles and elevations. Our data is time-stamped and georeferenced with accuracies reaching ±8mm. With traditionally surveyed ground control, we can achieve even greater levels of precision.

Mapping Applications

  • Topographical Surveys: Terrain analysis and contour mapping for land development.
  • Orthomosaic Creation: Seamless, geometrically corrected aerial imagery for planning, land management and analysis.
  • Infrastructure Monitoring: Regular mapping of roads, railways, utilities and critical infrastructure.
  • Agriculture Mapping: Crop health monitoring, yield estimations and land management.
  • Environmental Checks: Habitat monitoring, woodland visualisation, erosion tracking and ecological surveys.
  • Stockpile Assessments: Volume calculations and inventory management for mining and construction.
  • Emergency Response: Rapid area mapping for disaster assessments and response coordination.

FAQs

Here's some quick answers to help you understand our asset inspections better.

What is UAV Mapping?

UAV mapping uses drones equipped with high-resolution cameras and sensors to capture aerial data of specific areas. This data is processed to create accurate maps, measurements and analysis of products that would be difficult, expensive or dangerous to obtain through traditional ground-based methods.

How accurate is UAV mapping?

Our RTK-corrected GNSS Control networks across the site return a cross-site measurement accuracy of ±16mm, making it a suitable for costing and price estimations, stockpile monitoring, and preliminary retrofit planning.

How quickly can mapping be completed?

Data collection typically completes within hours or days depending on area size and complexity. For emergency response situations, we can provide preliminary mapping data within hours. Standard processing delivers comprehensive datasets within days based on project requirements.

What file formats do you provide?

Data sets can be viewed in our secure, purpose-built platform designed for comprehensive asset analysis. It can be exported for GIS, CAD, and other analysis software.

What are the applications for UAV mapping?

Drone mapping has diverse applications across multiple industries. Key uses include topographical surveys for land development, architectural rendering and building design, infrastructure inspections of bridges and utilities, mining operations for volume calculations, and asset management for housing associations and property developers.

Beyond these applications, there are a variety of unique use cases for mapping and modelling, for example we have mapped underwater habitats with UAV LiDAR Bathymetry systems, identifying routes beavers took between food stores and their sets using minute variances in the subsurface sediment disturbance and topography.
