A recent Heritage site survey project involved detailed spatial and condition assessments of historic buildings, landscapes, and an archaeological site using technologies that included 3D terrestrial laser scanning, SLAM scanning, aerial LiDAR and photogrammetry both aerial and terrestrial. These surveys created precise digital models (digital twins) and detailed records of a site’s […]
To measure trees accurately you need to deploy both photogrammetry and LiDAR-equipped devices on drones or backpack. Photogrammetry provides ortho-rectified, geo-referenced images, visual verification of the asset. Drone mounted LiDAR penetrates the forest canopy to provide accurate measurements of individual tree spread and height and ground levels. We know that the […]
The Hovermap STX with GPS provides more accurate, higher-density 3D mapping with a 300m scanning range, double the laser sensors of the original ST model, and advanced GPS auto-geolocation for effortless alignment to coordinates. It offers faster data acquisition, improved accuracy, longer autonomous flight range in GPS-denied areas, and better performance for […]
Reality capture is the process of digitally documenting a physical environment to create an accurate 3D model, such as a point cloud or mesh. This is achieved using technologies like laser scanning or photogrammetry (using photographs) and can be used for applications in construction, architecture, and surveying to document existing conditions, monitor projects, and create […]
It’s worth it for professionals like us, focused on fast, high-accuracy mapping and surveying, especially we need to cover large areas efficiently and require reliable data without constant use of ground control points. The upgrade offers improved construction, flight safety, and landing precision, faster data capture, longer flight times for […]
What do you do when you have a very complex site with limited access, a hot dusty environment and the whole area is vibrating? Oh, and the clients says I just need to know where I can fix 6 anchor points……….and we need to keep costs to a minimum! Our […]
Keeping cost down is always important to us, terrestrial scanners like our Riegl Scanners the VZ1000 and the VZ400i are normally our go to tools and offer sub 5mm accuracy but they are static scanners, and they are very expensive. I am not suggesting that SLAM scanners can replace these […]
It marked DJI’s first major entry into the dedicated drone photogrammetry market, expanding their offerings beyond other types of payloads. Before the Zenmuse P1, other manufacturers offered advanced payloads for drone-based surveying. Including medium-format photogrammetry cameras like Phase One and Vexcel, mounted on professional-grade drones, larger drones like the XR6. The […]
AIMS have now been operating the Wingtra One PPK for over 16 months surveying over 50 large sites around the UK. The Wingtra One PPK the safest and most accurate VTOL drone, for mapping and surveying. Combining vertical take-off and landing with long range flights, it carries the best in […]
Aerial Inspection & Mapping Surveys Ltd is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Mining Surveys (UK) ltd. The logo is just the first of our changes. In line with MSUK philosophy of inovation and advancement in the field of geomatics and striving to increase safety in the workplace whilst keeping […]
