Drone mapping and photogrammetry
Drone surveys across Nigeria, planned and flown in-house, and processed into maps you can measure from: orthomosaics, surface and terrain models, and counts of trees or other objects.
What you get
- An orthomosaic: one georeferenced image of the whole site that you can measure on.
- Digital surface and terrain models for heights, slopes and drainage.
- Object counts and inventories, such as one point per tree, using the same detection approach as the oil palm project.
- Stockpile and earthwork volumes measured from the surface model.
- Files in standard formats (GeoTIFF, GeoPackage, point clouds where useful) and a short note on accuracy and coverage.
Who it's for
Plantation managers counting stands and finding gaps, developers and contractors tracking a site, quarry and mining teams measuring stockpiles, and anyone who needs a more detailed picture of a site than satellite imagery can give.
How it works

- PlanFlight lines, overlap and ground control
- FlySurvey flights and GNSS ground control on site

Questions clients ask
Who flies the survey?
Flights are planned and flown in-house, and GNSS ground control is set up on site.
Do you work outside Nigeria?
Drone surveys are in Nigeria. Elsewhere I can process imagery that your team or a local pilot collects, and satellite imagery covers almost anywhere.
What accuracy can I expect?
It depends on flight height, the camera and ground control. I report the accuracy achieved on each job, checked against ground control, so you know what the map can support.
What do you need from me to start?
The site boundary or a rough outline, access arrangements, and what you want to measure.
