Drone Robotics

---

Drones, equipped with high-resolution cameras and advanced sensors (such as LiDAR or photogrammetry tools), are capable of capturing detailed imagery and data for a wide range of applications.  

Utilizing, our products or services, provides your organization with detailed information that allows you the following advantages:

1. Progress reports of your projects you use to make informative decisions
2. Show your customers progress reports and ability to view before and after changes
3. Verify quantities of your deliveries (dirt, gravel, lumber, steel, etc.)
4. Measure distances between areas in a larger scale
5. Provide quick inspections to areas without the need for heavy and expensive equipment while keeping your employees safe.

•  Aerial Photography: Drones capture high-resolution      images from above, often following a pre-programmed flight path.
• Orthomosaic Maps: Multiple overlapping images are      stitched together using photogrammetry software to create a single, geometrically corrected 2D map.
• Applications: Agriculture, land surveying, real      estate, and construction.

• Photogrammetry: The drone captures overlapping images      from various angles. Specialized software (e.g., Pix4D, DroneDeploy) uses      these images to construct 3D models by identifying common points and      reconstructing surfaces.
• LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging): Some drones use      LiDAR sensors to emit laser pulses, measuring the time it takes for them      to return. This creates accurate 3D point clouds, especially useful in      dense vegetation or low-light conditions.
• Output Formats: 3D meshes, point clouds, and digital      elevation models (DEMs).

• 3D Data Analysis: Using the 3D models or point clouds      generated, software can calculate volumes by defining the base area and      comparing surface elevations.
• Typical Use Cases:
  • Measuring stockpiles (e.g., sand, gravel, coal)
  • Cut-and-fill analysis in earthworks
  • Monitoring excavation and land movement
• Accuracy: Depending on the method and drone hardware,      volume measurements can achieve accuracies within 1–3% of ground-truth      measurements.

Drones provide efficient, safe, and cost-effective solutions for creating accurate 2D maps, detailed 3D models, and precise volume measurements. By combining aerial imaging with advanced software, they transform data collection across industries like construction, mining, agriculture, and surveying.
