Aerial 3D Laser Scanning Using Drones

Drone 3D Scanning

In the past few years, drones have become more and more a part of our daily lives. What was surprising to us was the possible applications that they could provide to 3D scanning on a large scale. Aerial scanning utilizing drones/UAVs provides the possibility to capture data in dangerous and/or hard to reach places, while offering an excellent cost-to-benefit-ratio for numerous applications: precision farming, forestry, mining, aerial facility views, and more. The DJI Inspire 1 enables us to can capture images like never before. With just one flight from the drone, we can produce an impressive amount of data:

  • Point clouds
  • Edge lines, vector lines, 3D terrain points
  • DTM (Digital Terrain Model)
  • Meshing
  • Distances, areas, volumes

    Advantages

    Advantages of 3D Scanning Using Drones

    • Aerial Accessibility: Drones enable scanning of hard-to-reach or hazardous areas safely and efficiently, without the need for scaffolding or lifts.
    • Time Efficiency: Drone-based scanning significantly reduces the time required to map large areas compared to traditional methods.
    • Large-Scale Coverage: Perfect for capturing data over expansive outdoor environments like construction sites, landscapes, and infrastructure projects.
    • Enhanced Perspective: Provides an aerial view that adds valuable context to the 3D models, offering insights that ground-based scanning alone might miss.
    • Versatility: Capable of rapid deployment in various conditions, making it adaptable to diverse project requirements and objectives.
    • Cost-Effectiveness: Reduces labor costs and minimizes disruptions by speeding up the data collection process.
    • High-Resolution Data: Captures detailed imagery and point clouds that enhance the accuracy of the resulting digital representations.
    Efficiency

    Quickly Capture Full Color 3D Point Clouds​

    Using our drone service, you can vastly reduce the time spent collecting accurate data. By acquiring raster data from the sky, in the form of geo-referenced digital aerial images, we can gather millions of data points in one short flight.

    Staff safety is also improved by minimizing risk to surveying teams when measuring sites such as mines, unstable slopes and transportation routes. Our drone-based data collection can also boost productivity. Surveying projects that used to take days or weeks using older surveying techniques are now possible in just a few hours.

    Aerial Site Documentation

    Of course, in addition to using drones for 3D scanning and measurement, we can capture aerial photographs and video of the site. Modern drones com equipped with image stabilization gimbals and very high resolution cameras, so you can expect high quality photographs and videos even from small drones. Arrival 3D has 3 drone pilots that are ready to serve your drone imageery and scanning needs.
