Choose a Drone

Nowadays there's a drone for every purpose. Here's a list of some of our drones and their purpose:

• DJI Phantom 4 RTK. Ranked the best drone for mapping sites.
• DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual. This drone is best for mapping quickly.
• DJI Mavic Air 2. Suggested for beginners and small areas.
• DJI Matrice 30T. Best drone for reliability
• Fixar 007. Best VTOL fixed-wing for mapping mountains and huge areas.
• DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise. Best new drone for photogrammetry.

Flight Planning

Once the drone and mapping solution has been selected the next step is flight planning. Select the area where you want to do drone mapping along with it ensure safety majors. After finalizing the area, select altitude at which you want to fly the drone. After selecting the area plan the flight using mapping software. For the purpose, log into the software where it will automatically ask to plan a flight. It gives you the satellite image of the area where you just have to click on the square and select it for drone mapping.

Data Capture

Now the work is on the ground. After all selection processes next take the drone to the area where you have planned your flight and fly it. For the purpose connect drone to smartphone go to the drone mapping app and tap on the fly. Review the images captured by drone then and there to ensure that only relevant image goes for final analysis.

Data Processing

Once the images have been captured upload the images on the software. Then select output where the image will be processed in form of orthomosaic or 3D point cloud ready to be used for your purpose. It is important to note here that the science of photogrammetry is applied in drone mapping where measurements are made from photographs which result into map, measurement or 3D model of a real-world object or scene.

Data Output

A mapping software allows us to generate accurate assets with drone data after processing. Some of them are:
