About Drone FTP
Why DroneFTP
Drone mapping uses overlapping aerial photos captured in a grid pattern to create accurate, scaled maps and elevation models that clients can measure and use. Photogrammetry works by comparing thousands of matching points across overlapping photos, allowing software to reconstruct the shape of the ground and objects.
Deliverables
- Orthomosaic maps
- Digital Elevation Models (DEMs)
- Contour lines
- CAD and GIS-ready files
Who Typically Uses This Information?
- Construction: progress tracking, volumes/volumetrics
- Land development: grading, planning
- Environmental: site documentation
- Real estate: acreage visualization
**Drone mapping provides highly accurate relative measurements. Survey-grade accuracy requires RTK and/or ground control points.
How Does it Work?
- Upload photos
- DroneFTP processes the data
- Files are delivered ready-to-use
Do I Need to be an Expert?
No, DroneFTP removes the need for expensive software, long processing times, and technical expertise. See our flight recommendations page here.
