Comprehensive Drone Surveying in Queensland

Precise & Detailed Mapping

Aspect Drones provides a range of high-quality and accurate aerial surveying options that include orthomosaic mapping, point clouds, digital surface/terrain models and more for the construction, mining, agriculture, large property/solar farm, surveying and engineering industries.

Drone mapping can streamline your business, giving your team access to current and accurate data and providing the ability to perform elevation, length, width, volume, area and stockpile measurements with high cm accuracy. We can map individual assets or buildings, full sites, large areas, pipelines, telecommunications towers, bridges and much more. With drone RTK GPS technology and surveyed ground control points, we can achieve cm-level accuracy from our data.

Advanced Photogrammetry Capture

Drone photogrammetry capture combines drones' high-quality cameras with advanced post-processing software to create accurate point clouds, maps and measurements. By capturing overlapping images from above, drones enable precise reconstruction of terrain, buildings and objects.

This technology benefits various industries. In construction, it aids in site mapping and design planning. Agriculture benefits from crop monitoring and precision farming. Environmental researchers use it for habitat monitoring and archaeologists for site exploration.

Light Detection & Ranging (LiDAR) Capture

Drone LiDAR surveys refer to the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) equipped with Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology to collect accurate and detailed geospatial data. LiDAR uses laser sensors to measure distances and create precise three-dimensional point cloud representations of the surveyed area.

The data collected from drone LiDAR surveys can be used for various applications, such as topographic mapping, land surveying, urban planning, forestry management and infrastructure inspections. It enables professionals in fields like engineering, construction and environmental science to make informed decisions based on accurate and up-to-date geospatial information.

Revolutionary Digital Twins

Drone-captured digital twins revolutionise industries by creating virtual replicas of physical assets. These replicas offer remote monitoring, precise measurements and valuable insights for sectors like infrastructure management and asset tracking.

With the ability to detect changes over time, digital twins enable proactive decision-making and efficient resource management. By leveraging the power of drones, these virtual replicas drive efficiency and enhance collaboration among stakeholders.

3D Elevation Models

Drone digital surface and terrain models revolutionise mapping and analysis. These models provide accurate 3D representations of Earth's surface, including objects and terrain.

Drones equipped with LiDAR or photogrammetry cameras capture high-resolution images and elevation data, enabling detailed visualisation and analysis. Digital Surface Models (DSMs) and Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) generated by drones offer valuable benefits for various applications. DSMs represent the Earth's surface, including all objects on it. While DTMs focus on the bare Earth's surface by removing structures and vegetation.

Efficient Stockpile Measurements

Drone stockpile measurements can be completed in a fraction of the time it would take to conduct the same measurements manually, reducing the amount of time needed for inventory management.

Traditional methods of measuring stockpiles often require significant time and resources, such as equipment rentals, surveyors and ground crew. Drone stockpile measurements can be done with minimal personnel, equipment and resources, resulting in significant cost savings.

High-Density Point Cloud

Our streamlined process begins with a meticulously planned drone flight, where our expert pilots navigate the skies to collect vast amounts of data points. These data points, generated through LiDAR or photogrammetry techniques, create a comprehensive point cloud—a virtual map of the area with an array of applications.

From urban planning and construction site analysis to environmental monitoring and agriculture, our drone-based point cloud collection opens up new avenues for precision, efficiency and insights in various industries.

Our Surveying Projects

Aspect Drones has demonstrated expertise in various drone surveying techniques, including LiDAR and photogrammetry surveys to produce detailed surface data and imagery. Discover some of our work:

Barron Gorge Hydroelectric Power Station

We conducted a LiDAR and photogrammetry survey of Barron Gorge Hydroelectric Plant and Barron Dam, producing detailed surface data and imagery despite dense rainforest canopy and elevation changes, to identify rock formations for Clean Co Queensland.

Arnhem Space Centre

Aspect Drones collaborated with Measure Australia and ELA Space to capture promo photos and photogrammetry of Arnhem Space Centre, processing over 4000 images to colourise a LiDAR point cloud and create a high-quality orthomosaic image of the 750-hectare site.

School Mapping Project

Aspect Drones partnered with Asseti to map over 100 schools in Far North Queensland, providing point clouds, orthomosaic maps and videos to facilitate remote building and asset management.

Post-Cyclone Jasper in Dec 2023

We have been conducting ongoing surveys of the Barron Dam for Clean Co
Queensland to obtain ground levels and provide high quality orthophoto of
the site so they can make plans and make decisions regarding ongoing
repairs. We have conducted 4 surveys since December 2024.

Nolans Quarry Crossing

We conducted a photogrammetry survey so that an orthophoto and digital surface model could be created for Groundwork Plus. This allowed them to create updated plans and make blasting plans for the site.

Gingeralla Quarry

Archer River Quarry 2024

Our team surveyed three sites across the quarry, checking to ensure that operations have remained within the required boundaries. We also gathered information and data to assist the client with their application to increase the quarry’s boundaries, allowing for them to mine more areas.
