How Our Drone Mapping Services Work

Our commercial-grade drone surveys capture high-quality images and data from a pre-planned flight path, using high-resolution cameras and specific sensors.
Controlled by our trained and certified drone pilots, we ensure that data collection is carried out in the most efficient and safe manner possible.
We then analyse this captured data with specialist software, to create 2D orthomosaics, 3D models, and other outputs that you desire.
These can be used for analysis and effective decision-making much faster than traditional ground surveys, and with a greater level of detail and accuracy than satellite imagery.

What Are the Benefits of Drone Mapping Surveys?

Our drone mapping services provide a range of benefits compared to traditional ground-based inspections, satellite imagery or high-altitude mapping:

Fast Data Collection

Aerial drone mapping can be completed much faster than traditional ground-based surveys, reducing time to completion from weeks to days.

Cost Savings

Reducing the time needed means we’re able to charge a lot less than traditional ground-based surveys while still providing greater accuracy than with satellite imagery!

Precise Measurements

Using the latest technology and software on the market, our drones capture data that is accurate to the centimetre and can be calculated in distance or volume.

High-Quality Images

The high-definition images our drones provide offer much clearer and higher quality images than comparable surveys and more recent imagery than Google Earth.

Comparative Datasets

When we conduct drone mapping surveys we store the GPS flight path, meaning these datasets can be analysed and compared with future drone surveys.

Improved Safety

Drones can access hard-to-reach places and fly over hazardous terrain to capture data, increasing safety and lessening any potential disruptions to your business’s operations.

Different Drone Mapping Services Available

2D Photogrammetry

High-definition photographs that highlight any issues and give you an aerial view of any area, property, or project that you need.

2D Orthomosaic Mapping

What Our Clients Say

“I contacted Full View [...] Alex was able to get out to me within a day as luckily he was local to me. Within a few hours of coming to my property he sent over a detailed report which identified where the issue was on the roof. I was able to use this report to give to my insurance company which assisted with getting the issue progressed and resolved far quicker than other insurance claims I have made in the past. It was also really helpful to pass onto the roofing company who then resolved the issue.

I couldn’t recommend Full Views services enough, it really supported me in the remediation of my roof. Can’t thank you enough!”

- Daniella Howells -
“We have worked with Full View for a number of years to undertake our drone survey work. Many of our projects at Mark Doodes Planning involve the use of CGI images to illustrate the impact of new development to show convincing “before and after” style images.

Full View's work is the foundation of this work with 4K photography. We have found Alex's team to be responsive to our sometimes demanding needs and always able to react quickly to new requirements.”

- Mark Doodes Planning -
“We have worked with Full View on a number of our projects. They have provided us with multiple services including, field mapping, stills to aid planning proposals and drone photography. The quality of the work is exceptional and is always delivered quickly and efficiently. Alex goes above and beyond to provide clear, reliable and accessible data. We cannot recommend Full View highly enough.”

FAQs

What is drone mapping?

Drone mapping is the process of using drones to create 2D and 3D maps of an area, using high-resolution cameras and sensors mounted to the drone to capture data. It is also known as aerial surveying, UAV mapping, and drone surveying.

Drone mapping has a huge range of applications in a variety of industries, including, but not limited to construction, planning, property inspections, and land surveying.

Are your drone surveyors fully licensed and insured?

Yes, all of our drone surveyors and pilots are fully licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), which you can see here. We are also fully insured for commercial operations.

How accurate is drone mapping?

Drone mapping surveys are much more accurate than traditional surveys, and even more accurate than satellite imagery. They can be accurate to the centimetre, and data can be stored and used comparatively in the future.

However, how accurate your drone mapping is, is dependent on the time and money you have. If you want the drone mapping survey done quicker, then the drone can fly higher but will capture less accurate images. By flying closer to the ground, the drone can capture more accurate and detailed images, but this will take longer.

How much does drone mapping cost?

Drone mapping costs vary massively, from £200 to £5,000. How much your drone mapping will cost will likely be much less, but depends on a wide range of factors. Factors that can affect costs include:

The size and scope of the project or property.
The complexity of the properties layout.
The level of detail requested.
The type of data output required.
The complexity of the software and hardware needed.

What is drone photogrammetry?

Drone photogrammetry is a technique where we collect information from hundreds of 2D aerial images captured by our drones, using a variety of different techniques to measure elevation, distance and angles.

Overlapping images are then combined using photogrammetry software to create a realistic 3D model or digital twin of topographical surfaces and physical structures. Photogrammetry software stitches individual images together to create a larger image high in detail and resolution.

What is an orthomosaic?

In simple terms, an orthomosaic is like Google Maps, or a satellite image, only in much more detail and much clearer. It is essentially a large map created by stitching together many smaller photographs, called orthophotographs.

These give the most detailed aerial imagery possible for topographic maps and for accuracy. Which can be incredibly useful for cases where details need to be exact.
