Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best photogrammetry solution?
The best photogrammetry solution depends on your use case, but key factors include ease of use, processing speed, and data accuracy. Robota’s Agisoft Metashape Pro photogrammetry software offers advanced processing tools that deliver industry-grade results from drone-captured imagery, making it ideal for professionals across various sectors.
What is the difference between aerial photography and photogrammetry?
Aerial photography involves taking photos from above, while photogrammetry adds measurement and mapping capabilities. Aerial photogrammetry software enables users to convert overlapping images into precise 2D and 3D geospatial models, something traditional photography can’t do.
What do you need for drone mapping?
To get started with drone mapping, you'll need a capable drone, a high-quality camera, GNSS equipment for positioning, and reliable drone mapping software to process and analyze your aerial data.
Can I use any drone for photogrammetry?
While technically possible, not all drones are ideal for photogrammetry. Drones optimized for mapping typically feature high-resolution cameras, GNSS modules, and compatibility with UAV mapping software for accurate data capture and processing.
What industries use drone photogrammetry?
Industries like agriculture, mining, real estate, construction, and environmental science use photogrammetry solutions to generate topographic maps, monitor site progress, and model terrain for planning and analysis.
How accurate is drone photogrammetry?
Drone photogrammetry can achieve horizontal accuracy within 2–5 cm when using RTK-equipped drones and quality control points. This level of precision makes photogrammetry solutions suitable for detailed surveys, construction monitoring, and terrain analysis.
What is an orthomosaic map?
An orthomosaic map is a high-resolution, geo-referenced image created by stitching together multiple overlapping aerial photos taken by a drone. Unlike basic aerial images, orthomosaics are geometrically corrected to eliminate distortion from camera tilt and terrain elevation, resulting in a true-to-scale map. Generated using advanced drone mapping software, orthomosaic maps are essential for accurate surveying, land analysis, construction planning, and GIS applications.
What is a digital surface model (DSM) in mapping?
A DSM is a 3D representation of the Earth's surface that includes natural terrain and man-made structures. Generated through aerial photogrammetry software, DSMs are essential for applications like flood modeling, line-of-sight analysis, and urban development.
What is geospatial software?
Geospatial software solutions allow users to visualize, analyze, and interpret geographic data. In photogrammetry, such software helps convert drone-captured imagery into actionable maps and models for industries like construction, mining, agriculture, and urban planning.
How does drone photogrammetry work?
Drone photogrammetry works by capturing overlapping images from a drone's onboard camera. These images are processed using UAV mapping software, which calculates the 3D geometry of the landscape by analyzing visual differences between image angles and positions.
What is drone photogrammetry?
Drone photogrammetry is the process of capturing aerial images with drones and converting them into accurate 2D maps or 3D models. It forms the backbone of modern photogrammetry solutions, enabling professionals to collect high-resolution spatial data efficiently and cost-effectively.
