What we do

UAV mapping

With the help of drone flights, even large and difficult-to-access areas can be recorded with maximum efficiency. By using high-resolution cameras, the areas flown can be mapped precisely.

Surfaces in the cm range are measured contact-free from the air. Photogrammetric point clouds are calculated from the high-resolution images, which can be used in a variety of ways after a refinement process. Thus, excavation areas or deposits can be documented three-dimensionally and objects can be localised and inventoried with the help of precisely georeferenced orthophotos. In addition, a current, high-resolution orthophoto offers an ideal basis for planning.

Thanks to the use of RTK drones, open pit mines can be flown safely and without restrictions on production. Quantities can be precisely determined over time.

The drone is the perfect complement to 3D mobile mapping. Thanks to the aerial photographs, the three-dimensional image of reality becomes complete. All data can be integrated in our online viewer.

Drone systems
Different types of drone systems are available for measuring all types of terrains. The images taken during the flights form the basis for the calculation of precise orthophotos and point clouds.
Orthophotos

Orthophotos
The orthophoto with a resolution of up to 3cm per pixel can be used both as a simple overview and as a plan background for further planning work. Furthermore, thanks to its high resolution, it can be used even for detailed planning processes.
Digital terrain models

Digital terrain models
The drone data is used to create a digital terrain model, which forms the basis for further planning. A terrain model from drone data is ideally suited for calculating elevation curves with an equidistance of 10 cm or for large area analyses.
Volume calculations

Volume calculations
With digital terrain models, the desired volumes are extracted and calculated, fast and accurately. Periodic measurements allow comparisons and calculations at the touch of a button.

Landscape modelling
Capturing roofs and elevations of buildings is key for a complete landscape model. Existing free 3D data is usually not sufficient or not up to date. Thanks to drone flights the missing roofs can be easily mapped.

Documenting projects
With UAV technology, it is possible to document a variety of projects without disrupting operations. Photos or videos can be part of both the project's progress documentation as well as the final documentation.
