Drone site survey

A site, counted and measured from a drone capture.

Fly the site once. Send the point cloud. Get back every building, road, tree, vehicle and stockpile as a survey pack, GIS layers and a table, each item placed in real-world coordinates.

What comes back

  • A survey pack. A PDF with the site plan, the inventory and the measurements, ready to hand over.
  • GIS layers. GeoJSON per class: buildings with storeys and roof form, roads with widths, walls, fences, hedges, trees, vehicles and stored material.
  • A table. A CSV of every element with its coordinates, dimensions and how much of it the drone saw.
  • The viewer. Every element outlined on the point cloud. Click the ground for its coordinates. Ask it what is parked where.

The example

The live tile is 100 by 100 metres of a rural site captured in one drone pass, with no ground control and no labels. On that tile we found 14 roofed structures, 8 greenhouses with 13 bays and about 1,870 square metres under cover, 7 road runs totalling 235 metres, 4 cars, a flatbed trailer and a farm cart, 13 material piles and stacks, and 11 single trees plus 7 canopy groups. All of it measured from the points, none of it traced.

Where it fits

Planning submissions, site inventories, yard and stockpile counts, condition records before and after works, and any case where someone would otherwise spend a day in GIS drawing polygons over an orthophoto. Larger sites are tiled and re-assembled, so the same process covers a farm or a depot.
