Making the invisible, Visible

Aerial Photography

Gain a Strategic Perspective from Above

UDM Group’s aerial mapping and photography services deliver comprehensive visual insights that transform how you understand, plan and manage your projects. Using advanced drone technology and specialised equipment, we capture high-resolution imagery that reveals critical details invisible from ground level.

Our aerial mapping solutions provide decision-makers in construction, infrastructure, and land management with accurate, actionable data that drives efficiency, reduces risk, and enhances project outcomes.

Comprehensive Aerial Mapping Capabilities

UDM Group employs state-of-the-art drone technology and specialised sensors to deliver precise aerial mapping services across diverse environments and project requirements:

  • High-Resolution Aerial Photography: Capture detailed vertical and oblique imagery for comprehensive site documentation
  • LiDAR Mapping: Generate precise Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) with laser-based measurement technology
  • Multispectral Imaging: Analyse vegetation health, environmental conditions and hidden features beyond visible light
  • 3D Modelling: Create detailed three-dimensional representations of terrain, structures and landscapes
  • Volumetric Surveys: Calculate precise measurements of stockpiles, excavations and earthworks 

Industry Applications:

Construction & Infrastructure

Monitor construction progress, document site conditions, and identify potential issues before they impact project timelines. Our aerial mapping aids project managers in tracking developments, verifying contractor work, and maintaining comprehensive visual records throughout the project lifecycle.

Urban Planning & Development

Support informed decision-making with accurate topographical surveys and contextual aerial imagery. Our elevated perspective provides urban planners with valuable insights into existing conditions, helping optimise development strategies and visualise proposed changes.

Environmental Monitoring

Track environmental impact, vegetation growth, and landscape changes over time with precision and efficiency. Our multispectral cameras detect subtle variations in vegetation health that would be impossible to identify using traditional methods.

Land Management

Efficiently document property boundaries, assess land conditions, and monitor changes across large areas. Our aerial mapping services provide land managers with comprehensive visual data to support strategic planning and maintenance activities.

Mining & Resources

Conduct volumetric surveys of stockpiles, monitor site operations, and assess environmental compliance across mining operations. Our drone survey mapping solutions deliver accurate measurements without disrupting site activities.

Service Options:

Vertical Aerial Photography

Capture detailed overhead imagery ideal for mapping, measurement, and documentation purposes. These nadir (straight-down) images provide a clear, distortion-minimised view of your site.

Oblique Aerial Imagery

Document sites from multiple angles to reveal structural details, contextual relationships, and visual information not visible in vertical photography. Oblique imagery enhances 3D modelling capabilities and provides richer visual context.

LiDAR Mapping

Deploy laser-based measurement technology to create highly accurate terrain models even in areas with dense vegetation or complex structures. LiDAR penetrates canopy cover to map ground conditions with exceptional precision.

Multispectral Imaging

Efficiently document property boundaries, assess land conditions, and monitor changes across large areas. Our aerial mapping services provide land managers with comprehensive visual data to support strategic planning and maintenance activities.

Key Benefits:

Cost-Effective Data Collection

Significantly reduce survey costs compared to traditional methods or manned aircraft operations. Our drone-based approach delivers comparable or superior results at a fraction of the cost.

Enhanced Safety

Eliminate the need for personnel to access hazardous or difficult terrain. Our remote sensing capabilities allow comprehensive data collection without exposing staff to unnecessary risks.

Rapid Deployment & Results

Receive actionable data quickly with our streamlined workflow. From initial flight planning to final deliverables, our process is optimised for efficiency without compromising quality.

Exceptional Detail & Accuracy

Access centimetre-level precision across various mapping applications. Our advanced sensors and methodologies ensure reliable, consistent results that meet rigorous professional standards.

Flexible Output Formats

Receive deliverables in formats compatible with your existing workflows and software systems. We provide data in industry-standard formats that integrate seamlessly with GIS, CAD, and other professional tools.
