FALCON SURVEY
Aerial / Drone Mapping Solutions
We are one of the earliest adopters of 3D Laser Scanning technology in U.A.E. and our continued investment in Leica Laser Scanners has ensured our survey teams can deliver comprehensive data with speed and accuracy whilst working safely throughout the U.A.E and abroad.

WORK SMART WITH DRONE DATA
MAP WITHOUT LIMITS
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) By Martix 300 Drones and Ebee X Drone can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your projects. By allowing easier access and capturing volumes of highly accurate data in less time, UAVs can reduce project costs. By allowing close-up inspection of hard-to-reach structures, rugged terrain, and remote sites, they can reduce risk. And by providing real-time project information and accurate side by side comparisons, they can facilitate informed decision making, improving project quality.

AERIAL / DRONE MAPPING
Who should consider this System:
Drone Mapping Services and 3D Modelling are becoming far more cost effective due to the latest drone camera technology. Our fully licensed and insured drone filming team are able to provide 2D and 3D mapping services to a diverse range of clients in a manner that was previously uneconomical. Today, clients use our Drone Mapping Services to create 3D visualizations, take measurements and perform calculations on volumes of large areas. We provide 2D and 3D mapping which can be integrated into a wide variety for formats including point cloud for use on client’s own software and CAD systems.

Reduce field time and survey costs
Capturing topographic data with a drone is up to five times faster than with land-based methods and requires less manpower. With PPK geo-tagging, you also save time, as placing numerous GCPs is no longer necessary. You ultimately deliver your survey results faster and at a lower cost.
Map otherwise inaccessible areas
An aerial mapping drone can take off and fly almost anywhere. You are no longer limited by unreachable areas, unsafe steep slopes or harsh terrain unsuitable for traditional measuring tools. You do not need to close down highways or train tracks. In fact, you can capture data during operation without an organizational overhead.
Provide accurate and exhaustive data
Total stations only measure individual points. One drone flight produces thousands of measurements, which can be represented in different formats (orthomosaic, point cloud, DTM, DSM, contour lines, etc). Each pixel of the produced map or point of the 3D model contains 3D geo-data.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions about drone mapping. We are sharing this for your quick information.
1. Check before you leave the office
Check the local regulations and make sure that you are allowed to fly your drone at the planned location. Also, make sure that the weather is suitable, meaning no rain, fog, snowfall or strong winds. Check that the battery of your drone and connected devices such as tablets are fully charged and that the memory card of your drone camera has sufficient empty space to capture the entire project.
2. Plan your flight
You can create the survey flight plan with the drone flight planning app on the tablet. For this, just tap and drag the points around the area you want to survey, or import a KML file. Make sure you account for tall objects within the flight plan, as well as altitude differences. If needed, you can adjust flight settings such as altitude, ground sampling distance (GSD), flight direction and images overlap.
3. Set up your flight in the field
During this step, you basically unpack and assemble the drone and make sure that it is ready to take-off in safe conditions. Following the interactive check-list, you will one-by-one check every parameter, like the calibration of the airspeed sensor and making sure the camera lid is removed.
4. Fly and collect images
After pushing the take-off button, the drone autonomously takes off, captures images and lands back where it started. In this step, the operator essentially makes sure that nobody approaches the drone during take-off or landing and that the weather conditions stay optimal for the survey mission.
5. Geotag your images
After one or several flights, import the images into WingtraHub software to geotag them s. Geo-tagging assigns geographical position (X, Y, Z) information to the images either in a separate CSV file or in the images’ meta-data.
