The Basics of Aerial Mapping Services

Once perceived as simple entertainment gadgets, drones equipped with autonomy have soared beyond this reputation to become pivotal assets, transforming numerous sectors. Their capabilities extend beyond just capturing compelling aerial images for real estate; drones play instrumental roles in constructing cutting-edge infrastructures, tracking the excavation minerals deep from the earth, and much more. As industries continuously seek to optimize operations, minimize inefficiencies, and bolster safety measures, drone technology emerges as the crucial catalyst propelling these advancements.

Whereas many of Earth’s regions once posed considerable challenges due to their inaccessible or unpredictable nature, drone technology has drastically changed the game. Through aerial surveying, drones, particularly those equipped with advanced sensors and technology, can reach and map areas once deemed too challenging or risky. Whether it's navigating dense forests, mapping intricate urban landscapes, or studying varied topographical features, drones simplify and refine the process.

Exyn Technologies: Supporting Autonomy In Action

Equipped with Level 4 Autonomy Exyn's drones redefine the boundaries of aerial exploration. These state-of-the-art drones can freely navigate intricate spaces, dictating their flight paths at impressive speeds of 2 meters per second—double the rate of what was previously considered standard. This level of autonomy translates to capturing higher-quality data over broader areas. In optimal conditions, these robots can scan an astonishing 16 million cubic meters in just one flight, equivalent to surveying the volume of 9 football stadiums.

Their unparalleled autonomy sets Exyn's drones apart from older industry benchmarks. While earlier drone systems relied on waypoints and multiple flights to gather sufficient data, Exyn’s drones champion open-ended exploration without the need for human intervention during their flight (a monumental leap from Level 3 autonomy, where human drone pilots were essential, always on standby to take control if necessary).

Drone mapping powered by a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm involves using an aerial drone with high-resolution sensors like LiDAR to create high density 3D point clouds. The result? A point-for-point representation of the area or object of interest.

Surveying with drones isn’t just about technology – it’s about reshaping business solutions. Drones provide:

  • 3D Modeling: Drones can capture images from multiple angles, creating accurate 3D models and providing a significant advantage over traditional 2D mapping technologies.
  • Elimination of Human Error: Traditional methods require measurements from multiple angles and repeated calculations where errors may occur. Technological computations eliminate the risks associated with human error.
  • Operational Efficiency: Real-time data accelerates decision-making processes, reducing project timelines.
  • Repeat Surveying: Drones can easily and quickly repeat the surveying process if necessary, ensuring complete, accurate, up-to-date maps of the survey site.
  • Environmental Responsibility: Minimized land disruption preserves ecosystems and reduces carbon footprints.
  • Versatility: The flexibility offered by drones combined with the accuracy of total stations means that surveyors can undertake a wide range of projects, from construction site monitoring to environmental study, drone land survey, archaeological site documentation, and more.
