Orthomosaic Mapping & Site Surveys

Site maps built from high-overlap RTK flights and delivered as georeferenced GeoTIFF, so the map drops straight onto your CAD base or GIS layer instead of being warped to fit.

Process

How the job runs

  1. 01

    Define the boundary

    You send a KML, a parcel number, or a marked-up aerial and we build the flight plan against it.

  2. 02

    Set the reference

    RTK corrections are pulled from a network base, so the imagery is georeferenced as it is captured rather than fitted afterward.

  3. 03

    Fly the grid

    Terrain-following double-grid flight at fixed altitude, repeatable on every return visit.

  4. 04

    Process and review

    Photogrammetric processing, a visual QC pass for gaps and artifacts, then delivery with the capture report attached.

Questions

About mapping & surveys

Can you fly the same site every month?

That is most of this work. Recurring sites are flown from the same waypoints at the same altitude every visit, so the maps stack cleanly and progress is easy to read across dates.

Can you match my existing coordinate system?

Deliverables come out in UTM by default. Tell us the coordinate reference system and vertical datum your team works in and we reproject the files before handoff.
