Drone Photogrammetry: Orthomosaic Imaging and 3D Model Creation

By programming the drone to take hundreds of overlapping images in a grid pattern, and using special software to compile the data, Kruse Altitude LLC can provide geo-referenced orthomosaic maps, elevation maps, and 3D models.

The pictures here are highly compressed copies of the original GeoTIFF, and as such, are low resolution examples.
 
The picture to the right gives some representation of the level of detail that is possible.

Drones are a great tool for gathering data about construction sites, farm fields, drainage systems, etc.
