Drones for Photogrammetry
and Topographic Surveying

Discover the best drones for photogrammetry with interchangeable payloads,
Precision RTK GPS systems and dedicated data processing software.

Professional Solutions for Photogrammetry

Topographers and GIS Experts are increasingly integrating the use of Professional Drones for their daily
work due to increasingly high-performance technology and increasingly affordable prices.

NOT JUST DRONES BUT INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS FOR PHOTOGRAMMETRY

Photogrammetric surveying is not just about the drone. It is about integrated UAV systems, with calibrated sensors,
high-precision GNSS RTK systems, software, workflow, training and support.

Our Mapper Packages include high-performance Drones with Calibrated Sensors and Advanced Software,
systems designed for quick learning and easy use,
so you can get your Drone services off the ground immediately for
Photogrammetry, Surveying, Mapping and GIS.

The advantages of drone photogrammetry

Photogrammetry with Professional Drones makes it possible to perform high-resolution aerial mapping
with high centimeter accuracy using integrated RTK and PPK systems, all within tight timeframes and at competitive costs!

Drones for Photogrammetry are mainly used for Orthophotos, DTMs and Point Cloud generation and
ideal for managing and planning urban interventions, structural interventions,
monitoring illegal construction, coastal erosion and land safety.
Using aero-photogrammetry drones, it is possible to determine features of an object
without coming into contact with it and to create information-rich point clouds (point-clouds).
Measurements are taken and saved locally (a posteriori, subsequent to the survey)
and thus can be repeated, modified and checked.

ROOM QUALITY

The fundamental datum of photogrammetry is the photographic shot, consequently the quality of the camera is obviously a key aspect to consider. Today on the market we find single-sensor cameras up to 61MP, or Oblique multi-sensor cameras up to 210MP

AUTOMATIC FLIGHTS

Another important feature to take into account, especially if the main subjects of our surveys are terrains, is the ability to conduct surveys with automatic flight. This feature makes it possible to survey even very large areas without having to worry firsthand about the drone’s flight and the acquisition of shots.

RTK

Real-Time Kinematics, or more commonly called RTK, allows us to take the accuracy of our surveys to the next level. But how? As mentioned earlier, flight stability and precise image placement are hugely important aspects of obtaining quality photogrammetric data, and drones equipped with the RTK module are unsurpassed in this to date.

Flight Planning

With advanced flight planning software such as UGCS or DJI Flight Hub you have the ability to manage every variable in your survey, including the ability to follow the terrain, on standard DEM or custom DEM, which can be imported directly into the program.

Processing and Post Processing

Agisoft Metashape e DJI Terra are professional-level photogrammetry software used worldwide by Technicians and Professionals. Metashape and DJI Terra allow you to Generate 3D Space Models from georeferenced photos.

Taking advantage of Structure for Motion’s proprietary algorithms, these powerful photogrammetry software enable all typical drone photogrammetric survey outputs, such as clouds, DSM\DTM, contour lines, and volume calculations.

Targeted Training Courses

DroneBase Academy in addition to providing courses for obtaining the Drone License offers Professional Training Courses aimed at enabling you to enter the world of drone work immediately that include Theoretical-Practical classes with experienced and qualified teachers in the various fields of application of these means.

Basic Photogrammetry Course

One-day (8-hour) introductory course aimed at those who are
entering the world of drones for the first time and have no
expertise in geographic/topographic data

Advanced Photogrammetry Course

Advanced 1-day (8-hour) course aimed at those who already have
technical skills in surveying such as surveyors,
engineers and want to use the Drone as a working tool.
