Photogrammetry and drone survey

Aerial maps and 3D models for engineers, architects, surveyors and VFX teams in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Riyadh. Captured by helicopter, drone or fixed-wing, and processed in-house.

Three ways to capture a site

We pick the aircraft by the site, the airspace and the accuracy you need. From a single plot to thousands of acres.

  • Helicopter with Phase One

    A 100 MP Phase One camera on a 6-axis gyro-stabilised head, flown on a planned grid for precise overlap. Used near airports and over built-up areas.

  • Multirotor drone

    The DJI M300 RTK with a P1 camera, for sites where a drone is allowed and detail matters.

  • Fixed-wing drone

    Covers large and remote areas in fewer flights than a multirotor.

Deliverables

Processed in-house

Survey data in days, not weeks

Our own team processes every project, so you deal with one company from flight to final file.

  • Orthomosaic maps

    High-definition, geo-referenced photo maps for visual inspection and planning.

  • Topographic maps and drawings

    Positioned in absolute world coordinates, for legal and engineering use.

  • 3D models

    Textured models of sites and buildings, for VFX, design and town planning.

Questions

Survey projects

Photogrammetry: common questions

What is aerial photogrammetry?
Photogrammetry builds measurable maps and 3D models from hundreds of overlapping aerial photos. Flown on a planned grid, it produces orthomosaics, terrain models and textured 3D meshes of a site.
How quickly can you deliver survey data?
Usually in days rather than weeks. Our post-processing team works in-house and around the clock when a project needs it.
Can you survey near airports or over built-up areas?
Yes. Our helicopter Phase One system is used near airports and over built-up areas, where drones are often restricted. Drones and fixed-wing aircraft cover remote sites.
Which software do you use?
RealityCapture, Agisoft and Bentley, the industry standards for photogrammetry and 3D modelling.
