Why using a drone for Photogrammetry ?

Photogrammetry is the process of using photographs to measure and map the features of an area. With a drone, photogrammetry can be used to capture high-resolution aerial imagery of a site, which can then be processed using specialized software to create detailed 3D models, maps, and measurements of the area up to 1 cm of accuracy.

 

This technique is used in a variety of fields such as :

  1. Surveying and mapping: Drones equipped with photogrammetry technology can quickly and accurately survey large areas, creating detailed maps and 3D models that can be used for construction, land management, and other purposes.
  2. Inspection and monitoring: Drones can be used to inspect and monitor industrial sites, such as power plants, oil rigs, and mines, to identify potential issues and monitor progress.
  3. Conservation and environmental monitoring: Photogrammetry drones can be used to survey and monitor wildlife, habitats, and sensitive environments, providing important data for conservation efforts.
  4. Emergency response: Drones can be used in emergency response situations, such as natural disasters or oil spills, to quickly survey and map affected areas, helping to guide response efforts.
  5. Real Estate: Drones can be used to create 3D models of properties and take aerial footage for property listings.
  6. Insurance: Drones can be used to inspect and assess damages on buildings and infrastructures, providing more accurate and detailed information to insurance companies.

These are just a few examples, but the use of photogrammetry with drones is constantly expanding and innovating.

Collecting data

Photogrammetry allows you to collect data quickly and efficiently. Photogrammetry systems can capture images, process data, and rapidly create 3D renderings.

Cost Effective

The cost-effectiveness and accessibility of the equipment make UAV photogrammetry a cost-effective solution for a variety of industries and organizations, providing accurate and reliable data with a high degree of precision, making it a valuable tool for many different types of projects.

Efficiency and Safety

UAV Photogrammetry is a faster, safer and more efficient method than a human on the field, providing accurate and reliable data with a high degree of precision that can be used to make more informed decisions.

Track Progress over Time

It is possible to capture high-resolution imagery of a site at regular intervals, and then process that data to create detailed 3D models, maps, and measurements. By comparing these images and models over time, it is possible to track changes and measure progress on various types of projects.
