Turn Aerial Data Into Measurable Site Information
RTK-enabled aerial mapping, photogrammetry, terrain modeling, volumetric analysis, and repeatable site capture provide detailed spatial information for construction, development, commercial property, and technical project documentation.
More Than a Map
Aerial mapping creates a current digital record of a site that can be measured, analyzed, compared, and revisited. Aerial Insights combines high-resolution imagery, RTK positioning, photogrammetry, terrain processing, and structured deliverables to turn aerial capture into useful site intelligence.
Mapping Capabilities
Mapping workflows can be tailored to the project, from a high-resolution orthomosaic to terrain models, contours, stockpile volumes, and repeatable site comparisons.
RTK Orthomosaic Mapping
High-resolution georeferenced aerial imagery provides a current top-down view of the entire site for planning, measurements, documentation, and comparison.
3D Site Modeling
Photogrammetric 3D models provide spatial context for buildings, terrain, stockpiles, structures, and existing site conditions.
Point Cloud Generation
Dense spatial point data can support technical review, surface analysis, CAD workflows, measurement, and downstream modeling.
Terrain Modeling
Digital surface and terrain models create elevation-based representations of a site for grading, drainage, development, and topographic support.
Volumetric Measurement
Stockpiles, material quantities, and selected cut-and-fill conditions can be calculated from aerial mapping data.
Recurring Site Comparison
Repeat mapping creates a consistent record for comparing site changes, earthwork, material movement, and construction progress over time.
Positioning, Control & Repeatability
Mapping quality depends on more than simply flying a grid. Aerial Insights uses RTK-enabled aerial capture and can incorporate project control, ground control points, or checkpoints when the project requires additional validation or alignment.
Processing results can be reviewed using control residuals and error reporting to help document the quality of the photogrammetric solution.
- RTK-enabled aerial capture
- Ground control point workflows
- Checkpoint validation
- Repeatable coordinate reference systems
- Georeferenced mapping outputs
- Project-specific accuracy planning
Accuracy Is Project-Specific
The required positioning workflow depends on how the data will be used. A progress map, stockpile calculation, terrain model, and engineering reference may require different levels of control and validation. The capture plan should match the intended use of the deliverable.
Terrain & Topographic Support
Aerial photogrammetry can be processed beyond the visible surface to create terrain-focused outputs for site planning, development, earthwork, and engineering support.
Digital Surface Models
DSMs represent the visible surface captured from the air, including terrain, vegetation, structures, equipment, and other above-ground features.
- Surface elevations
- Site-wide elevation visualization
- 3D surface analysis
- Change comparison
Digital Terrain Models
Terrain classification can be used to separate ground from non-ground features and create a ground-focused elevation model where site conditions support reliable classification.
- Ground classification
- Terrain surface generation
- Bare-earth modeling
- Elevation analysis
Contours & Breaklines
Terrain models can be refined using breaklines and converted into contour products that better represent important grade changes and surface transitions.
- Contour generation
- Breakline-supported terrain models
- Grade-change representation
- CAD-compatible outputs
Earthwork & Volume Analysis
Surface models can support material measurements and comparisons across selected areas of a site.
- Stockpile volume
- Material inventory
- Surface comparison
- Selected cut-and-fill analysis
Where Mapping Adds Value
Construction
Track site development, earthwork, staging areas, access, and changing project conditions.
Land Development
Document existing conditions, terrain, parcel development, grading, and site progress.
Stockpiles
Measure material quantities and maintain recurring inventory records.
Commercial Property
Create current spatial records of buildings, parking, land, drainage, and property conditions.
Available Mapping Deliverables
Deliverables can be selected based on the requirements of the project rather than forcing every client into the same package.
Visual Mapping Products
Orthomosaics, elevation visualizations, web-hosted maps, site imagery, and 3D models for review and documentation.
Spatial Data
Point clouds, surface models, terrain models, georeferenced raster data, and other project-specific spatial outputs.
Technical Exports
Contours, point data, CAD-compatible files, elevation products, measurement reports, and other requested exports.
Build the Right Mapping Workflow for the Project
From a high-resolution orthomosaic to terrain models, contours, point clouds, volumetrics, and recurring site comparison, Aerial Insights can match the capture and processing workflow to the information your project actually needs.
