Aerial Mapping

Topographers provides photogrammetric mapping using drones to produce orthophoto maps and three-dimensional models for various projects.

Our experience with photogrammetric surveying begins in 1999 with the project “Excavation of the Neolithic settlement Kantou-Koufovounou in Cyprus” using traditional photogrammetric techniques.

Following technological advances in 2010 we began our experience with aerial mapping and evolved from analog to digital photogrammetry.

APPLICATIONS

  • renewable energy technical project development
  • large infrastructure projects
  • mapping archaeological sites
  • building facades
  • mapping quarries, coastal lines, residential areas, hazardous or inaccessible areas etc.

Aerial Mapping can produce the following:

  • Point cloud (LAS, LAZ, E57 etc)
  • Orthophoto map: an image of the entire area, which can be used to measure true dimensions and enriched with grid, contours, the coastal line etc.
  • Digital elevation model: a 3D depiction of the area, which can be given in many forms, such as contours, triangulated irregular network or colored terrain maps
