Our SERVICES

AeroTech Mapping owns and operates Cessna TU206Gs; each outfitted with the powerful Vexcel Ultracam Falcon and Phase One iXM-RS280F camera systems and the Teledyne Galaxy LiDAR systems. This enables us to perform dual imagery and LiDAR collection, delivering faster results to our clients. By managing our aviation assets, we eliminate the risk of unexpected flight delays when outsourcing this vital part of the photogrammetry process.

Our photogrammetric mapping is done on advanced softcopy stereo workstations using Datem System’s Summit Evolution software, all under the direct supervision of Certified Photogrammetrists. We create the Digital Terrain Model (DTM) by fully digitizing a 3D grid in stereo, adding precise breaklines for accuracy. Once the DTM is complete, we move on to collecting the required planimetric features. Elements like roads, railroads, and streams—captured as breaklines during the DTM process—are refined, smoothed, and added to the final planimetric file.

Digital Orthophotography is an aerial image that has been geometrically corrected in order to have a uniform scale. It is, in essence, a photographic map. AeroTech Mapping utilizes Trimble’s Inpho and OrthoVista software systems to precisely transform aerial images into consistent, and highly accurate, orthophotography mosaics.

Our fleet includes several advanced UAVs for photogrammetry, with the latest addition being the DJI Matrice 300. This state-of-the-art drone is outfitted with the Zenmuse H20N payload, offering intelligent night scene enhancement and dual zoom thermal cameras. These features ensure high-resolution data capture and detailed analysis, even in challenging low-light environments. Our ROCK360 LiDAR technology also enhances our ability to capture high-resolution 3D data, providing even more detailed and accurate mapping for complex environments.

AeroTech Mapping deploys UAVs when accessing challenging areas, such as hard-to-reach or hazardous areas, such as steep terrains, dense forests, or construction sites, without putting personnel at risk. This capability ensures that all necessary areas are thoroughly covered, and we integrate this data with traditional manned data collection methods.

Bathymetric surveys involve quantifying sediment deposition in reservoirs, ponds, and check dams to monitor erosion rates over time. These surveys also extend to water-filled mine pits, supporting engineering design and infrastructure remediation projects. AeroTech Mapping utilizes the SeaFloor HyDrone to conduct highly accurate and efficient bathymetric surveys. By integrating LiDAR, UAS, and other terrestrial elevation datasets with underwater survey data, we create comprehensive, high-resolution site models for precise geospatial analysis.

AeroTech Mapping leverages LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) as a cutting-edge remote sensing technology that uses pulsed laser light to measure variable distances on the Earth’s surface. AeroTech excels in low-altitude data acquisition and is equipped with state-of-the-art Teledyne Galaxy sensors, capturing corridors and contextual information with exceptional single-pass point density. This advanced 3D imaging technology underpins various services, including digital elevation modeling, precision topography and mapping, forest management and planning, environmental assessments, floodplain mapping, and stream delineation modeling, among other geospatial applications.
