Aerial Photogrammetry
We turn high-resolution aerial imagery into measurable information: orthophotos, 3D models and georeferenced elevation models. You define the area and the data you need; we fly, capture and deliver an analysis-ready dataset.
What aerial photogrammetry is
Aerial photogrammetry is the technique that turns overlapping aerial photographs into precise geometric information. From hundreds or thousands of images captured from the aircraft, the terrain is reconstructed in three dimensions and turned into measurable, georeferenced products. It is the most efficient way to cover large areas with survey-grade accuracy without keeping ground crews in the field for weeks.
What we deliver
Every project is delivered in the format and reference system your workflow needs. The most requested products are:
- Orthophotos and orthomosaics — geometrically corrected aerial imagery, to scale and measurable.
- Digital elevation (DEM) and terrain (DTM) models — surface and ground height, cell by cell.
- 3D models and point clouds — three-dimensional reconstruction for measurements, volumes and design.
- Contour lines and slope models — ready for engineering and planning.
- Volume calculations and measurements — over stockpiles, cuts, fills and surfaces.
How we work
We manage the entire operation so you never deal with aviation logistics. The process runs from request to delivered data:
- Flight planning — flight lines, overlap and resolution (GSD) designed for the goal, plus permits and pilot coordination.
- Capture — flying the area with the right aircraft and sensors, with real-time coverage monitoring.
- Processing and georeferencing — image orientation, ground control points where the project requires them, and product generation.
- Quality control and delivery — accuracy validation and secure delivery to your cloud, servers or systems.
Applications
We use aerial photogrammetry for topographic surveys of mining sites, volumetric stockpile monitoring, road corridor design and monitoring, urban and rural mapping, cadastres, real-estate projects and environmental impact studies. When the area is regional, manned-aircraft capture covers hundreds of km² per flight — far beyond what a drone can reach.
Why AeroStratus
We don't sell equipment or loose flight hours: we manage the complete aerial data acquisition lifecycle. You define what you need and receive a validated dataset, in the right format and on schedule. 6+ years of operations, 2,500+ flight hours managed and a 100% delivery rate back it up.
