Aerial Imaging

Drone photogramm is changing how archaeological sites can be discovered and assessed. Hi-definition rendering of the ground topography highlights features that cannot be seen at ground level and allows researchers to review the ‘bigger picture’ in greater detail. 

The Process

Mission Planning

Key to the process is quality data collection.

I use an RTK system that provides high accuracy 

datasets to 20mm positioning.

I review my old maps then plan the level of definition required based on topography, access restrictions, risk and obsticles (Trees).

I create an elevation distribution 

map to the intended area and plan my GCP's.

You must have permissions to fly and relevant flight certifications.

Mission Programming

Once you have reviewed  site details,I offline program the flight mission. Care needs to be taken regarding non involved persons and encroachment on to non permissioned lands.  You must abide to CAA regulations at all times.

Data Collection

Surveying control points aids the process accuracy. This also allows you to collect key pominent positions that you may want to reference during the study.
