Aerial Mapping With Drones

Aerial mapping is used for various applications, from determining precise geographical locations to land classification. In the past, arranging an aerial map or survey was costly because of the equipment and organisation required. Now, drones provide a revolutionary new way to conduct aerial mapping. There’s no need for a manned aircraft or satellite; a drone can provide all the information you need. Aerial Mapping Applications Aerial mapping can be used in all sorts of ways to get a bigger or clearer picture of a landscape, building or plot. For construction, aerial mapping is a great way to show clients the progress of a building – while surveyors can use the data from a drone flight for cartography, topography and more. Here are some of the ways in which drone aerial mapping can be used: Land and infrastructure surveying for urban and regional development Remote working for mines, gravel pits and construction sites Digital terrain modelling (DTM), digital elevation modelling (DEM) and volumetric analysis Embankment, dam and retaining wall inspection Archaeological surveys and excavation monitoring Geo information system (GIS) Drone Aerial Mapping from Droneworxs Droneworxs specialist drones have the ability to conduct oblique photography, 3D modelling, digital terrain modelling and more […]

Capture a property with aerial real estate photography

In real estate, the photographs are essential for delivering the ‘wow’ factor that draws people in to find out more about a property. For larger homes or those that have substantial grounds, it can be difficult to capture all this detail in one photo. With aerial real estate photography though, that difficulty is removed and the wow factor well and truly remains! Aerial real estate photography with drones Aerial photos used to be expensive to arrange. Hiring the time of an aircraft and pilot is not cheap, yet getting just the right shot – especially if you’re aiming for a particular time of day or favourable weather conditions – is certainly not guaranteed. In the past, aerial real estate photography was more of a luxury than a necessity – until drones came along and made the entire process easier, more controlled and much more affordable. With drones, capturing stunning photos of any type of property is simple. With high definition cameras that can take snapshots and 360 degree videos, bringing a property life is easy, and essential for making the most of real estate listings. Outdoors or inside, drones can get almost anywhere, allowing undiscovered angles and views to be […]

What Makes Drone Photography Special?

Drones allow us to explore the skies and experience never-before-seen views of buildings, terrain, sports events and more. Unlike other forms of aerial photography that require piloted vehicles, drones – or UAVs – are controlled by a pilot using a remote control, so they can be much smaller and nimble. This capability allows drones to experience almost any space from any angle – opening up a whole new world of photographic possibilities and opportunities. How is Drone Photography Used? Drone photography is still relatively new, having only been around for a handful of years. The potential is already being realised though; the variety of commercial uses for drone photography ranges from insurance to real estate to construction. One of the most popular and well-known ways of using drone photography is for the recording of sports events. Picture a football game right from the pitch rather than the sidelines. Imagine experiencing the thrill of surfing, watching the curl of the wave as it rolls towards the shore, without jumping on a surfboard. With drones, the entire concept of sports entertainment can be revolutionised. Both videography and photography from drones takes our experience of anything to whole new levels. We can explore […]
