Drone Mapping & Aerial Photogrammetry Services

Capture vast landscapes, complex sites, and linear corridors in a fraction of the time. We transform raw UAV flight data and high-resolution aerial imagery into orthomosaics, accurate topographic contours, and complete 3D surface models.

Overlapping flight lines tied to ground control produce a georeferenced surface.

Eliminate the aerial processing bottleneck

Flying the drone is only half the battle. Processing millions of pixels, aligning ground control, and extracting vector features requires serious computing power and specialized spatial expertise. We handle the heavy digital lift so your team can deliver faster.

What we deliver

01

High-resolution orthomosaic mapping

Seamless, color-corrected, orthorectified imagery tied strictly to your local coordinate system — true-scale, with zero perspective distortion. Repeat-flight processing tracks site progress with pixel-level alignment against RTK/PPK GPS data and your ground control.

02

Topographic & contour mapping

Smooth, clean contour lines at your specified interval (0.5 ft, 1 ft, or metric equivalents) optimized for Civil 3D and MicroStation import, generated over vegetation-filtered bare-earth DTMs. Breaklines are drafted at ridges, valleys, retaining walls, and curb lines to keep the surface honest.

03

Planimetric feature extraction

Manholes, catch basins, utility poles, signage, valve covers, building footprints, pavement edges, driveways, curbs, gutters, fences, tree canopy outlines, and water body edges — digitized into layered CAD vector formats, saving hundreds of manual drafting hours.

04

Volumetric & stockpile analysis

Cut/fill heatmaps comparing existing surfaces against design grades or prior flights, stockpile tonnage without putting ground crews in hazardous zones, and high-density surface tracking for mining faces and embankment stability.

We validate check shots, inspect tie points, and verify breaklines rather than pushing buttons on automated software. Standard datasets are processed and delivered within 24 to 48 hours.

How it works

  1. 01

    Upload your imagery

    Share raw drone photos, camera logs (PPK/RTK), and Ground Control Point coordinates via secure file transfer.

  2. 02

    Quality audit & alignment

    We verify image overlap, run photogrammetric triangulation, and tie the project tightly to your GCPs.

  3. 03

    Feature drafting & filtering

    Analysts extract planimetric vectors, filter noise and vegetation, and build the surface models.

  4. 04

    Download deliverables

    Structured, QA-checked .DWG, GeoTIFF, and volumetrics ready for immediate project use.
