Drone Imagery

GPRS Drone Imagery Services deliver high-resolution images, videos, maps, and models to help you Intelligently Visualize The Built World^®.

Drone imaging offers a safe, cost-effective way to collect data with precise positional accuracy across large, hazardous, or hard-to-access areas. We customize each drone imaging solution to meet the specific needs of every client.

Our services include photogrammetry, aerial videos and images, LiDAR scans, 2D orthomosaic images and CAD drawings, 3D imagery and models, and full 3D fly-throughs — all captured using advanced drone technology operated by FAA-licensed pilots and processed by our team of design specialists.

applications of drone imagery

Urban Planning and Land Management – digital surface and terrain models
Construction – as-built surveys reduce the need to physically access job sites
Engineering – from measuring cut and fill volumes, to inspecting crucial infrastructure
Mining and Quarries – collecting accurate data boosts productivity through improved inventory management and planning
Building Information Modeling (BIM) – data can be used to generate highly detailed and accurate 3D models
Energy and Infrastructure – inspect linear assets such as pipelines, powerlines, rail routes and waterways

PHOTOGRAMMETRY

Photogrammetry provides visual confirmation of the measured distance between objects and can be applied for a variety of purposes, from urban planning and construction to insurance claims and energy infrastructure.

LiDAR

GPRS drone scans employ LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to provide a hyper-accurate 3D data point cloud of measurements and features. That point cloud data can be interpreted into a wide range of 2D and 3D maps and models to meet the client’s needs.

AERIAL SITE IMAGERY

Aerial Imagery, also referred to as Aerial Photography, describes one of the simple stand most common uses for drone imagery services. To capture an aerial photograph, series of photos, or video, the pilot simply flies over and captures the area photographically.

ORTHOMOSIAC IMAGERY

An orthomosiac image is created from drone images by photogrammetric and orthorectification to create a singular mosaic image that corrects geometric distortion and is color corrected/balanced for a complete data set.

MAPPING & MODELING

GPRS’ elite design team can combine highly accurate point cloud data from our laser scanners to the drone photogrammetry to create dimensionally accurate aerial photographs. We also offer an array of map and model products:

Point Clouds
3D Models
2D Orthoimages
2D CAD Drawings
Flythrough Videos

DRONE BENEFITS:

Safety: Like every GPRS service, the focus is always safety. By using UAS Drone Imagery, you can detect dangerous anomalies first, and protect your employees second.
‍Detailed Information: The high definition (HD) color image resolutions allow for the accurate identification of small- and large-scale anomalies within your project.
‍Difficult to Reach Locations: Rather than trekking rough terrain or climbing to unsafe heights, a UAS Drone Scan can easily inspect facilities even in the toughest to reach areas imaginable.
‍Save Time and Money: High impact or unknown anomalies cause a large loss in annual production and revenue. By detecting them with drone imagery, you ultimately save yourself time and create an immediate return on investment (ROI) for the future.
‍Keep Operations Online: By utilizing UAS Drone Imagery to perform maintenance and inspections on your facility or project, plant operations don't need to be shut down for an inspection. We fly over so operations can stay online and active.

START TO FINISH

Throughout the full life cycle of your project, GPRS provides essential utility locating and drone services during both the planning and construction phases. From project kickoff to completion, GPRS remains by your side, delivering consistent, clear communication — a cornerstone of our 99.8% subsurface accuracy rate. We’re more than just a drone imaging company; we offer the full range of services, products, and expertise needed to help you Intelligently Visualize The Built World^®.
