Survey-Grade Drone Data Processing

We turn massive, raw flight data into lightweight, actionable engineering deliverables. From PPK trajectory processing to lidar classification and CAD drafting, our Houston-based team delivers clean files ready for Civil 3D, MicroStation, ArcGIS, Trimble Business Center, and more.

In-House Processing. Zero Offshoring.

Offshoring your sensitive site data introduces unacceptable risks.

All of our processing, classification, and drafting is done entirely in-house by our technical team. This ensures strict quality control, adherence to ASPRS standards, and immediate, clear communication if there is a question about your project.

How We Generate Your Deliverables

1. PPK Trajectory Refinement & GCP Calibration

We merge the drone's logs with static data collected from a base station over a known point during the flight. This Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK) workflow locks the data to your exact local coordinate system with verifiable absolute accuracy. Ground Control Points (GCPs) are used in conjunction with strip adjustment (lidar) and/or triangulation (photogrammetry) to build on the previously established absolute accuracy.

2. Orthorectification & Classification

An aerial imagery map and/or point cloud of your project is generated and run through advanced classification algorithms to selectively decimate and separate the millions of points and pixels into standardized classes (e.g. ground, low vegetation, high vegetation, buildings, transmission towers, etc.). The resulting high-resolution aerial image and/or classified lidar point cloud is verified against independently collected check points.

3. Feature Vectorization & Data Verification

Using the orthomosaic, lidar point cloud, or a combination of the two, features are vectorized and verified against the raw data. Vectorized files are exported into your preferred CAD format and PDF reports are generated where applicable.

Formatted For Your Tech Stack

Stop fighting with incompatible files. We export your deliverables in the exact formats you need, including but not limited to the following:

Autodesk Civil 3D (.DWG, .DXF, .RCP)

Bentley MicroStation (.DGN, .POD)

Esri ArcGIS (.SHP, .GeoTIFF, .LAS, .LAZ)

Trimble Business Center (.VCL, .LAS, .LAZ)

Send us your raw data, or let us fly it.

Whether you need us to mobilize our Trinity Pro, or you have raw drone data you need professionally classified, our team is ready to process your next site.
