Drone Mapping Service
Accurate cost effective maps with fast turnaround time over large and small areas.
Laguna Drones provides drone mapping services for large and small projects across the US and beyond.
We use the latest in high grade drone equipment ( Phantom PRO4 RTK) to generate the images and high accuracy RTK GNSS receivers from Trimble (R-10-2) and DJI ( D-RTK-2) to generate the geolocation data needed for our mapping projects.
Drone mapping services are very cost effective and ideally suited for tracking construction progress, stockpile inspections, agricultural projects, landscaping, vineyards and irrigation planning.
The resulting output will be an orthomosaic which from a relative accuracy point of view can have checkpoints built in for real world measurement/verification purposes, if absolute accuracy is required we can add GCP’s as well as Ntrip corrections as needed during the collection process.
In general the mapping process involves the use of high quality drones, Photogrammetry software and high quality GPS measurement equipment. These individual systems and equipment as well as experienced operators are combined to capture accurate image and location data, (from air and ground) and process this data taking it from individual images, thru point cloud to an Orthomosaic and onto a finished product.
The drone provides quality images (RGB) with location data embedded in each image. In cases where the project calls for it, there will be Ground control points (GCP’s) visible in those images. These particular GCP locations will have been measured by our GNSS measurement system (Trimble R10) We use Pix4d Photogrammetry software to process this data and create accurate Orthomosaic maps of the target area.
Outputs are available across multiple specs to suit the specific import and compatibility requirements of your project. Outputs can range from Orthomosaic, Topographic (TOPO), Digital Surface Models (DSM), Digital Terrain Models (DTM), 3D modelling with custom contours as needed.
We can provide relative accuracy and absolute accuracy to sub centimeter level. In the case of relative accuracy we are mainly focused on the accuracy of measurements within the site/locations to be mapped and so this would be common in volumetric, stockpile measurements, surface mining.
If absolute accuracy is needed we can integrate an Ntrip signal to obtain the corrections to RTK measurements and provide highly accurate sub centimeter level absolute coordinates.
We are flexible and would like to think we are easy to work with, our aim is to generate accurate deliverables for you at a competitive price, we work with end user customers and can also work as a service provider for surveyors and larger mapping companies. If you have a project you would like to discuss in more details please contact us by Email or Phone and we will be more than happy to assist.
