Aerial & UAV imagery
Aerial & UAV imagery is a method of capturing imagrs of the Earth's surface from a certain height using an aerial camera (e.g., unmanned aerial vehicle) mounted on an aircraft, with the aim of obtaining, studying, and presenting objective spatial data of the captured areas.
Aerial surveying is the process of obtaining images (aerial images) of the Earth's surface from a specific altitude. The survey is conducted using a camera installed on a manned or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
Topographic aerial surveying is the process of obtaining aerial images of the Earth's surface and using them to create topographic maps. These maps depict the physical features of the terrain, including elevation, the location of natural and man-made objects, and the distribution of vegetation. Topographic aerial surveying is typically conducted using specialized cameras mounted on aircraft or unmanned aerial vehicles. The captured images are then processed to create accurate and detailed topographic maps, which can be used for various purposes, including urban planning, infrastructure development, and natural resource management.

What is Aerial & UAV imagery used for?
Aerial & UAV imagery allows for obtaining images of the terrain with high spatial resolution and a full spectrum of necessary information in a compressed timeframe and at reasonable costs.
Additional services offered in conjunction with aerial imagery
- Selection and ordering of aerospace materials
- Orthorectification and creation of digital orthophotoplans
- Forensic expertise
- Creation of cartographic materials
- Aerospace monitoring
- Creation of digital maps and topographic plans
Purposes and Objectives of Aerial & UAV imagery
The main objective of aerial & UAV imagery is to obtain high-quality images of the terrain, both in panchromatic and multispectral modes (R, G, B, NIR, SWIR), to effectively solve a wide range of tasks, including:
The capabilities and demand for aerial photography are not limited to this list. The materials can be used for monitoring various types of objects, including transportation infrastructure, creating 3D models of terrain and relief, archaeological purposes, and more.
- Geodesy and cartography - creating and updating digital topographic and special maps and plans;
- Cadastral services - obtaining detailed plans of land plots (cartographic base of real estate cadastre);
- Surveying investigations to obtain accurate information about sampling, the location of valuable mineral deposits, and the placement of large underground facilities;
- Environmental conservation - tracking population development and movement, monitoring the quality of vegetation growth, controlling fires, and assessing the ecological condition of natural objects;
- Agriculture - monitoring crop development and storage of root crops;
- Military - surveying training grounds and identifying locations.

Advantages of Using aerial & UAV imagery
Aerial & UAV imagery allows for obtaining images with high spatial resolution (up to 1 cm/pixel) and provides a higher level of detail in the resulting orthophotoplans and models. It achieves a root mean square error (RMSE) of point coordinate determination of less than 10 cm and can be performed below cloud cover. Aerial photography is suitable for creating large-scale plans (1:500 - 1:5000), highly accurate CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) and CMR (Coordinate Measuring Robot) on small territories (up to 50 km2).
