TOPOGRAPHY

PHOTOGRAMMETRY

The drone, Trimble’s UX5, is an unmanned aircraft that follows a programmed flight path according to the client’s requirements and needs. It is equipped with a camera to capture images of the area of interest. These images are taken at a specified altitude and with an overlap, generally between 70 % and 90 %, which will depend on the required precision.

Typical Applications

These images can be used for:

  • The creation of orthophotographs
  • Digital Elevation Model (DEM) or Digital Surface Model (DSM)
  • Photogrammetry

 

The resulting data is useful for a range of applications such as:

  • Topographic measurements, especially in remote or difficult-to-access areas
  • Vegetation control
  • • Recording or mapping of infrastructure
