This particular project involved producing an aerial map of the property to be utilized during the safety and planning process and later supplement the land survey crew and other stakeholders.

Using automated flight planning software and high-resolution sensors, the property was mapped and geospatial intelligence

THE PLAN

After initial planning is finished, the flight plan is mapped out, and pilots do a safety inspection of airspace to evaluate any potential safety hazards.

In order to capture the whole 62-acre property in one ultra high-resolution image, hundreds of single geotagged photos are taken. This project included 441 photos, and each respective photo is used to ensure imagery and other data is collected in its entirety.

Finally, pilots begin a flight simulation to determine the number of images required for proper coverage. During this time, pilots also map the exact time of flight and best location for swapping batteries.

FLY – “ Aerial Data Collection”

The aerial data collection mission is launched following a site walkthrough and strict preflight checklist.

DATA PROCESSING

After the aerial data is collected, it is processed and analyzed to create the georeferenced maps below.

These products can be used throughout the real estate development process as a reference and benchmark of what the property looked like before development.
