UAV or drone surveys are an ideal way to rapidly capture data over a large site; the resultant dataset can be used for detailed design, analysis and visualization.
A UAV survey can provide a wide range of 2D/3D deliverables dependant on the scope of the project; these may include an ultra-high resolution Ortho-rectified mosaic image of the site, 3D mesh, point cloud or video fly-through.
Benefits of a drone survey
- Faster data acquisition. A UAV survey can capture high level of detail over large areas quicker than more traditional survey methods making it cost effective leading to fast project turn around for the client.
- Safer and cheaper surveying. UAV surveys have the ability to capture data without putting the surveyor in dangerous or inaccessible locations – making it a safe and cost effective option for your next project.
- Full 3D site model. A 3D model can be used for site visualisation along with providing a comprehensive dataset which can be returned to for future reference.
UAV survey applications
UAV surveys are applicable to a variety of survey requirements:
- Topographic mapping
- Volumetric analysis (eg. stockpiles, groundworks, cut/fill analysis etc.)
- Coastal monitoring and cliff surveying
- Woodland surveys
- Vegetation condition assessments
- Thermal imaging and analysis
- Archaeological surveys
- Golf course surveys
- Building facade surveys and roof inspections
