Photogrammetry: High-Precision Aerial Mapping & Modeling
At Bush Drone Data, we take photogrammetry to the next level by leveraging RTK GNSS-equipped drones to deliver highly accurate, efficient, and reliable geospatial data. Using advanced drone technology combined with Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) capabilities, we ensure that every map, model, and measurement we produce meets the highest standards of accuracy and precision—making aerial data more accessible, actionable, and scalable than ever before.
📍 Why does this matter? Traditional data collection methods are often slow, costly, and prone to human error. Our advanced photogrammetry solutions provide fast, cost-effective, and high-resolution data that supports construction, infrastructure, agriculture, environmental management, and more.
What is Photogrammetry?
Photogrammetry is the science of extracting precise spatial data from photographs to create detailed 2D maps and 3D models. Using high-resolution drone cameras and RTK GNSS technology, we capture overlapping aerial images that are processed into highly accurate, georeferenced datasets.
With RTK GNSS, we achieve:
✅ Centimeter-level accuracy for all mapping and modeling projects.
✅ Georeferenced imagery seamlessly aligned to real-world coordinates.
✅ Enhanced data reliability with minimal distortions and high precision.
Why RTK GNSS Matters
Unlike traditional photogrammetry, which relies on manual ground control points (GCPs) for positional accuracy, RTK GNSS allows for real-time satellite correction, ensuring data precision without extensive manual setups. This means:
🚀 Faster Data Collection – No need for excessive GCP placement in most projects.
📏 Improved Accuracy – Achieve centimeter-level precision for mapping, modeling, and geospatial analysis.
⏳ Reduced Processing Time – RTK GNSS eliminates post-processing delays, allowing for near-instant georeferencing.
🔗 Seamless Integration – Easily align data with GIS, CAD, and construction project management tools.
💡 Example: A construction firm using RTK GNSS-equipped drone photogrammetry can obtain accurate topographic models within hours instead of days, reducing surveying time and labor costs significantly.
Key Benefits of Drone Photogrammetry:
1. Unmatched Precision & Accuracy
By combining photogrammetry with RTK GNSS technology, we provide ultra-precise aerial data that is accurate down to the centimeter level. Our advanced imaging ensures that every measurement, contour, and elevation is correctly mapped—critical for industries requiring exact data such as construction, land surveying, and engineering.
📍 Results:
✔ Highly detailed 2D orthomosaics for site planning.
✔ Accurate 3D models for volumetric analysis and structural assessments.
✔ Reliable elevation models for precise grading and terrain mapping.
2. Time & Cost Efficiency
Traditional surveying requires extensive manpower, fieldwork, and costly equipment, whereas drone photogrammetry enables faster and more efficient data collection.
✅ Survey large areas in a fraction of the time.
✅ Reduce labor costs by eliminating manual ground surveys.
✅ Rapid deliverables – Most flights take under two hours, reducing project downtime.
💡 Example: A land development company needs an elevational model for designing a new subdivision. Instead of sending a survey crew for multiple days, our drone can map the entire area in a single flight, delivering accurate terrain models within hours.
