OrthomosaicMaps
Drone imagesare correctedfor image distortionandstitchedtogetherduringpost-processingtocreate
a highly-accurate orthomosaicmap.Each pixel contains2Dgeo-information(X,Y) andcan directly
procure accurate measurements,suchashorizontal distancesandsurfaces.
A densifiedpointcloudcanbe generatedfromdrone images.Eachpointcontainsgeospatial(X,Y,Z) and
colorinformation.Itprovidesaveryaccurate model fordistance (slantandhorizontal),areaandvolume
measurements.
Drone imagescan alsobe usedto create DSM modelsof the area.Each pixel contains2Dinformation(X,
Y) and the altitude (Zvalue) of the highestpointforthisposition.
