Aerial & topographic image tie-in and adjustment

Aerial capture with a DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0, tied to ground control and processed into orthophotography and topographic mapping.

What this is

A drone photograph is not by itself a measurement. It becomes an orthophoto or a topographic map you can scale from only once it has been tied to ground control points whose coordinates are already known, and adjusted onto them. That tie-in is the step that determines how accurate the result is — not the camera.

What you end up with

Georeferenced orthophotography, updated topographic mapping and a digital surface model — a current record of the site captured quickly, and without putting anyone on unstable ground to get it.
