From overlapping images to one map
The aircraft follows a planned grid while capturing photographs with sufficient overlap. Processing software identifies shared features and reconstructs a combined surface and image.
- Orthomosaic imagery
- Digital surface models
- Point clouds or 3D outputs where appropriate
- Current-condition site records
- Repeat mapping for comparison
Resolution is not the same as accuracy
A map can look detailed without being survey accurate. Altitude, camera, terrain, flight geometry, positioning, ground control and processing all influence the result.
Choose outputs before flying
The intended use determines the capture plan. A planning image, a construction record and a cadastral or engineering requirement need different methods and professional involvement.
Frequently asked questions
Can an orthomosaic be measured?
Often, yes, but the reliability of measurements depends on the capture and control workflow. We define expected use and limitations before the flight.
Is drone photogrammetry a cadastral survey?
Not by itself. Legal boundaries and cadastral outputs require the appropriate records and qualified land-surveying professional.
