Orbit UAV Mapping Planner

High Precision, Low Altitude, Mono and Stereo Mapping

The UAV Mapping Planner (UMP) extension to Orbit GIS provides the tools required for automated flight and high precision mapping. It contains a Waypoint Generator, a Microdrone in-flight tracker, and a captation tool. This tool automatically calculates the required waypoints to create a full mono or stereo image coverage of any area. Just draw the area on your map (which you can import from google earth) and indicate the main flight axis. You can also define a free path, a coverage along a vector, an ellipsoid flight focussed to a point of interest. The waypoint list is uploaded to the Microdrone that will fly, take the vertical or oblique images and return home fully autonomous.

Further image-, stereoprocessing and orthorectification can be executed using Orbit Strabo (the photogrammetry extension to Orbit GIS).

Manage highly detailed mapping

The Microdrone Airborne Mapping extension to Orbit GIS provides the tools required for automated flight and high precision mapping. It contains a Waypoint Generator, a Microdrone in-flight tracker, and a captation tool. Further image-, stereoprocessing and orthorectification can be executed using the Strabo
Photogrammetry extension to Orbit GIS.

The Waypoint Generator

The Waypoint Generator creates an automated photo coverage task for the Microdrone, by defining a route on your map. The tool automatically calculates the required waypoints to create a full
mono or stereo image coverage of any area. Just draw the area on your map and indicate the main flight axis. You can also define a free path, a coverage along a vector, an ellipsoid flight focussed to
a point of interest.

The waypoint list is uploaded to the Microdrone that will fly, take the vertical or oblique images and return home fully autonomous.

Recover Images for processing

Send out the Microdrone to take the images set forth in your Waypoint list. The drone flies to the waypoints at set height, stabilizes and takes the pictures. On it’s return, download the pictures. The pictures are automatically identified and associated with the programmed waypoints. The attitude (GPS/INU) is extracted and a Strabo-project is created. You can now continue with mapping or image processing.

Ultra Precision Stereo Mapping

Using the Microdrone’s low altitude vertical photography, one can capture high precision details in photogrametric stereo mapping unseen in standard aerial photography, up to a Ground
Sample Distance of 1 cm at a 50m flight height. The Orbit GIS photogrammetry extension Strabo allows direct creation of vector data integrated in your current GIS project.
