Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is the first option for drone orthophotography. This method utilises digital cameras to capture the world, and match each photo with a pinpoint GNSS PPK data point to then be processed into maps, surveys and 3D models. In other words, a series of photos are taken and each photo taken is accurately marked with satellite data to provide high accuracy image overlap that can then be turned into high accuracy maps & models without the need for thousands of pounds of equipment and weeks or even months of work but instead can be done in a single day!
Photogrammetry is your go-to service for most residential and commercial applications due to it's range of capabilities and most importantly, low cost and fast speed. You can see our other Drone Services on the drop down menu above, all of which use photogrammetry.
2D & 3D Orthophoto Maps & Models are datasets that are created from the photos taken by a drone, these datasets include but are not limited to:
-
A full 2D resolution image of the entire mapped location.
-
An accurate 2D Digital Elevation Map (DEM) image.
-
3D Google Earth file.
-
Accurate & Detailed 3D Model.
-
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) image.
-
GeoTIFF Files.
-
DEM GeoTIFF Files.
-
Colourised DEM GeoTIFF Files.
-
Point Cloud.
-
XYZ RGB Point Cloud.
-
3D Material Files.
-
3D Texture Files.

See below the corresponding digital elevation (DEM) maps
Using our DJI Mini 4 Pro Drone, we used photogrammetry to create a 2D & 3D map of the field, whilst also creating a DEM map to show how the earth was moving.
With a total flight time of approximately 4 minutes, we covered 4.09 acres of land whilst taking around 50 photos and processed the data through two different software's where we've been able to create the images and models above.
We were able to determine that there was an elevation change of 45.4ft and to showcase how the land was shaped during this elevation change. This not only helped with drainage planning and land monitoring, but it also provided the farmer with valuable data for future land developments.
Using our DJI Mini 4 Pro Drone, we used photogrammetry to create a 2D & 3D map of a house for sale, whilst also creating a DEM map to show how the house was positioned on the land.
With a total flight time of approximately 30 minutes, we conducted two flight patterns, one overhead and one in orbit around the house, taking around 120 photos. We also matched this up with a further 50 photos from our DSLR camera on the ground to gather the high definition textures of the house walls due to the limited airspace around the house for the drone.
Not only were we able to create a 3D model of the house that the real-estate company was able to show to potential buyers and developers, we were also able to show a negative slope of 25.7ft on the property that was most prominent at the rear of the house which was then used to identify structural damage!
How does our process work?
The first step in hiring our drone photogrammetry service is to contact us for an estimated quote. You'll explain what you're seeking and what your end goal is, and we'll create a custom quote for you and your project.
Price Quote
The second step in hiring our service is for us to come out to the location in question to provide a free survey and risk assessment. We'll tell you there and then if it's something we're able to do or not, and we'll then be able to create an accurate price quote and then invoice you.
Site survey and risk assessment.
Payment
Due to the rules and regulations with the CAA, insurance companies, and local laws, we require payment for our drone services before we conduct our main flight. This can be done either with a 50% upfront and 50% on completion, or 100% upfront. We also accept payment plans however an upfront deposit must be made.
Main Flight
Once payment has been made, we will conduct the main flight when is most suitable. If the flight needs to be postponed due to unavoidable circumstances such as changes in the weather or an on-site emergency, we will rebook to a different date, free of charge.
Data Processing
Once the flight has been concluded, we will go away and process all the data into the requested format. Once we have an indication on how long this may take, we will provide you with an email updating you on the estimated time it will take to complete the processing.
Completion
Once everything has been processed, we will contact you to let you know that it's finished. At this time, if you've paid in full, we'll transfer the data over to you via the most suitable method. If you've paid in half, we will require the second payment, completing the total in full, before we hand over the finished data.
