What Does Our 3D Drone Survey Process Involve?

We follow a structured workflow to capture high-resolution aerial imagery or laser data and transform it into an intricate 3-dimensional digital model. This process includes:

Project Consultation

Get in touch with our friendly staff to discuss your project objectives. We will assess the site, determine the required accuracy, and map the flight paths.

Ground Control Station Setup

We establish Ground Control Points (GCPs) and checkpoints on the ground, using a GNSS receiver for precise georeferencing. This improves the final model’s accuracy.

Data Acquisition (Fieldwork)

Our licenced pilot operates a drone along a pre-programmed route to capture high-resolution, overlapping images from different angles for 3D construction.

Data Processing and Modelling

We upload raw images and data into advanced software (e.g., Pix4D, Agisoft) to generate, stitch and align photos into a 3D model, point cloud, or 3D mesh.

Analysis and Delivery

We evaluate the 3D data for accuracy against checkpoints and deliver high-resolution orthophotos, 3D models, or digital twins in GIS and CAD-compatible formats.

We can help you get the surveys and drawings that you need for your projects.

FAQs

3D drone mapping acquires 2–5 cm (0.8–2 inches) precision using specialised machines such as RTK/PPK drones and Ground Control Points (GCPs). This precision makes drones perfect for construction, mining, and topographic surveys.

A 3D drone survey provides accurate digital models of sites, structures, or terrain by merging aerial imagery into actionable 3D models. These outputs include:

  • 3D Point Clouds
  • 3D Textured Meshes
  • Orthomosaic Maps
  • Digital Surface Models (DSM) and Digital Terrain Models (DTM)
  • Volumetric Calculations
  • Contour Lines and Mapping
  • Inspection Reports

Yes, drone surveys are effective for tracking construction progress. They offer real-time aerial imagery and 3D data, allowing project managers to track progress promptly and reduce survey time from weeks to days.

Our 3D survey report includes point cloud data, 2D schematics, and 3D models tailored to your project’s specific requirements.

A 3D drone survey usually takes around 2 to 5 business days for project delivery. This is because the survey covers both on-site data collection and processing. The duration is influenced by site size, complex structures and weather conditions.
