Aerial Surveying – LIDAR & IMAGING – UAV | Drone

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV/drone), capable of carrying a range of high-resolution sensors, such as: LIDAR, RGB imaging, Infrared, Thermal, amongst others, is a technology that is already a part of our daily lives for over 15 years and has enhanced our capacity to deliver in various areas of intervention, research or project work.

Together with all our other GNSS equipment, 3D laser scanning equipment, total stations and powerful software for processing and editing large volumes of data, enable us to produce distinctive results, such as: 3D point clouds, LIDAR data classification, Digital Terrain Models, elevation studies, NDVI, slope maps, solar exposure maps, orthorectified imagery, orthophotomaps, and 3D or BIM models of sculptures, buildings and monuments, amongst others.

Before, these techniques were conditioned to the use of satellites or large planes equipped with high-resolution sensors, which despite the excellent results in national and regional processes, make the process very costly and not very agile for local dimension projects.

With the emergence of new technologies and sensors on board UAV/DRONE unmanned aircraft, we can accurately “measure, analyze, study and design” information with high metric quality. This technology has exponentially increased the application and versatility of this type of product.

Today we can use Remote Sensing to produce a lot of information in a short time, with high resolution, metric accuracy and with lower costs for the final client. These evidences, raise more and more its potential.
