NZ Drones specialize in capturing high-definition aerial data. Drone mapping is excellent for collecting information, including asset condition assessment, surrounding environmental management and routine maintenance inspections, as it is fast, cost-effective, safe and reliable.

We will work with you to fully understand the data required and use our experience to find the solution that best fits.

GPS Reference DSM / Orthomosaic Images

When Google Maps just don't have enough resolution or the area you require is not up to date, this is for you. An Orthomosaic is a collection of aerial photographs stitched and geometrically corrected such that the scale is uniform: the resulting image has the same lack of distortion as a map.

Unlike an uncorrected aerial photograph, an Orthophotograph can be used to measure true distances. It accurately represents the Earth’s surface, having been adjusted for topographic relief, lens distortion, and camera tilt.

Precision Agriculture

NZ Drones can survey large areas of agriculture in great detail using our UAVs. We are capable of creating a high-resolution analysis of vegetation and crop health.

Utilising this service can allow for a much better understanding of managing your resources in the field, which results in many cost-saving benefits and higher plant yields.

Forestry

Unmanned Aerial Mapping is a fantastic way to collect mass data of your project within a short period of time and is the most cost-effective way.
