PhotoModeler UAS applications

  • Stock pile volumes
  • Terrain survey and contours
  • Mine reclamation
  • Accident scene aerial surveys
  • Ortho-mosaic photo production

PhotoModeler UAS main features:

  • Accurate and persistent measure of Volumes with the Volume Object
  • Handling of geographic coordinate systems
  • Handling of UAV GPS data for coordinate systems or as control data (from either image EXIF headers or independent txt/csv file)
  • Accurate UAV camera auto-calibration
  • DEM (gridded and triangulated)
  • High-accuracy, balanced, geo-referenced ortho-mosaic photo export
  • PDF project report

For high accuracy survey with minimal ground control requirements consider investing in a PPK or RTK Drone Unit. These technologies compliment your GPS drone technology to increase camera position accuracy and this can greater reduce the need for GCPs (ground control points).
