Precise Survey and Mapping

 

We use state-of-the art drone and GPS technology to produce the highest quality maps and GIS assets for precise, detailed environmental assessments.

Orthomosaics

Orthomosiacs are often used to monitor ecosystem changes and plan restoration work. They permit measuring distance and area at up to sub-centimetre resolution with high visual fidelity on an interactive map. They are available for use in Google Earth and in GIS applications like ArcGIS and QGIS.

Digital Elevation Models

Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) can be used for calculating cut/fill volumes for environmental restoration projects, monitoring erosion/accretion, and planning for sea level rise. DEMs allow you to measure surface topography at up to 5cm precision and resolution.

Point Clouds

Point clouds are used for advanced GIS analysis and can be turned into a 3D mesh for use in engineering workflows in software like CAD. Points within a scene can be classified into different categories (e.g. sand, mud, vegetation, road) and used to produce custom outputs. Ultra-high density point clouds can also be used for specialized ecological assessments such as monitoring the growth of trees in a restored area (i.e. tree height, width and volume of stems/trunks).
