FAQs

Our standard accuracy is ±5 cm vertical, for both drone LiDAR and drone photogrammetry, with ground control in place. This is measured on hard, open surfaces at independent check points. Accuracy on soft ground, under dense vegetation or on steep slopes can be lower, and the survey report states this. The accuracy for each project is written into the proposal.

The drone records its own position during the flight, but small errors remain. Ground control points (GCPs) are marked points on the ground measured with DGPS equipment. They tie the drone data to real-world coordinates and your project benchmark, and remove any remaining shift in level or position.

GCPs are used to correct the data during processing. Checkpoints are measured the same way but are kept aside and not used in processing. Comparing the final model with the checkpoints shows the true accuracy achieved, so the result is tested independently rather than taken from software.

  • Comparison against independent check points measured on the ground
  • Checks for full coverage and point density across the site
  • Review of ground classification to remove trees, buildings, vehicles and other objects
  • Visual review of contours and terrain models for errors.

Each delivery includes a short survey report stating the accuracy achieved at the check points.

Stated in the proposal

Weather, flight permissions and site access can affect these timelines. The timeline for each project is confirmed in the proposal.

We survey sites from small plots to several thousand acres, and corridors many kilometres long. The minimum chargeable area is 200 acres; smaller sites are charged at the 200-acre rate. For very small sites, a ground survey may be more economical, and we will tell you if that is the case.

For medium and large sites, a drone survey usually costs the same or less than a ground survey of similar coverage, and is completed faster. It also reduces the chance of a resurvey, because the full site is captured at once.

Yes. We can share sample data from our completed surveys of different types, so you can review the quality of our outputs before placing an order. If a pilot survey on your own site is required, it can be done free of charge, subject to discussion.

The client owns the deliverables once payment is complete. We do not share your data with third parties. We use project images or data in our marketing only.

Yes. We regularly work on projects that require confidentiality and can sign a non-disclosure agreement before the survey.

 

Our DGPS team measures checkpoints on flat, hard, open ground spread across the site. The level of the final ground model at each checkpoint is compared with the measured level. The differences are summarised as the average error (RMSE) and the largest error, and both are reported in the survey report.

  • A DGPS base station is set up on a known benchmark during every flight
  • The drone’s flight path is corrected using this base station data (PPK processing)
  • Ground control points tie the data to the project coordinate system and benchmark
  • Overlapping flight strips are aligned so they match each other (strip adjustment)
  • Independent checkpoints confirm the final accuracy

Yes, in most conditions. Each laser pulse can return several echoes: the first from the top of a tree, others from branches, and the last often from the ground below. Even under fairly dense trees, some pulses pass through small gaps in the leaves and reach the ground. Because the drone sends hundreds of thousands of pulses per second, enough of them reach the ground to build a reliable ground model.

We deliver in the coordinate system you require, commonly WGS 84 / UTM (Zone 42N for Kutch and most of Saurashtra, Zone 43N for central and south Gujarat). Levels can be tied to a Survey of India benchmark or to a project benchmark you provide. Please tell us your project datum at the start, so the data matches your existing drawings.

Yes. Contours are generated from the bare-ground model, usually at 0.3 m, 0.5 m or 1 m interval, and closer intervals on request. Because the ground model is built from millions of points, the contours follow the real ground, including small drains, bunds and slopes. They are supplied in DWG, DXF or SHP format.

Yes. Contours, spot levels and terrain surfaces can be supplied as DWG/DXF for use in AutoCAD and Civil 3D.

Yes. Orthophotos and terrain models open in free tools such as QGIS and Google Earth Pro (after conversion to KMZ). Point clouds open in free viewers such as CloudCompare. We can also provide PDF maps for non-technical users. On request you can visualize the all the data on our web based GIS solution as a website where you can view and Analise all the data.

Yes. Because our team has a water resources background, we can use the survey data for drainage paths, catchment areas, cut–fill and earthwork estimates, slope analysis and, where required, flood modelling. These are scoped and quoted separately.

Yes, on request. We can provide a web viewer or online sharing link with the deliverables, so your team can view the data in a browser without installing software.
