ToggleDrone-based photogrammetry is a surveying technique that uses UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) equipped with high-resolution cameras to capture overlapping aerial images of land areas. These images are processed using specialized software to generate:
Accurate 2D orthomosaic maps
3D point clouds
Digital Elevation Models (DEM)
Digital Surface Models (DSM)
Contour maps and volumetric calculations
This technology enables surveyors to extract precise measurements, elevations, and spatial data without extensive ground work.
LCTSS uses RTK/PPK-enabled drones and ground control points (GCPs) to achieve survey-grade accuracy, meeting engineering and regulatory standards.
Large land parcels can be surveyed in hours instead of days or weeks, significantly reducing project timelines.
Drone surveys minimize manpower, equipment costs, and field time, making them more economical than traditional surveying methods.
Drone photogrammetry eliminates the need for surveyors to access hazardous or difficult terrains such as steep slopes, highways, or mining sites.
The aerial imagery provides clear visual insights, making it ideal for planning, monitoring, and decision-making.
At LCTSS (Land Coordinates Technology), we provide end-to-end drone photogrammetry solutions customized to project requirements. Our services include:
Accurate topographic mapping with contours, spot levels, and terrain features for infrastructure and land development projects.
Precise boundary surveys and land parcel mapping to support legal, planning, and registration needs.
