Commercial Drone Packages

Drones have already taken over the film and photography industries and are now making huge strides in the commercial sector, including in industries such as agriculture, construction, energy, and more. Today drones are being seen as more than just an aerial imaging system, and are now poised to take over the enterprise sector by becoming an integral way in which various industries collect data, and provide services. Below we have put together our recommendations on which packages would work best to accomplish any demanding task at hand, depending on what task needs to be accomplished in each individual enterprise.

Infrastructure

Mapping - Surveying - Transportation - Mining

Accuracy, safety, and planning are all things growing cities require to grow the economy and transform into booming metropolises. Most towns and cities are built on old infrastructure that require regular inspections to maintain their safety and efficiency. With a drone, users can create photogrammetry apps that allow users to observe extremely accurate positioning and surface points from aerial data collected by a drone. When the data collected is then processed through a customized software users can create precise 3D maps and orthomosaics as well as 3D models to better plan and assess infrastructure and helps operators evaluate the exact needs of the areas they are analyzing. Drones can additionally be used to monitor traffic flow to help researchers better plan traffic infrastructure, minimize potential congestion and reduce the risk of accidents.

The Phantom 4 Pro RTK Compact RTK Mapping Package is based on the Phantom 4 RTK aircraft. Powered by DJI D-RTK2 GNSS system, the Phantom 4 RTK offers ultra-precise positioning for visual mapping with centimeter level accuracy. The RTK module is built into the aircraft body and the position data is embedded into the metadata of each image that is shot by the Phantom 4 RTK camera. The RTK system on the Phantom 4 is also capable of NTRIP using a 4G LTE connection or a WiFi hotspot or even Post Processed Kinematics (PPK) which is why the Phantom 4 RTK can fit into most workflows perfectly. The 1-inch high-resolution image sensor combined with the mechanical shutter on the Phantom 4 RTK camera provides high quality, distortion-free imagery suitable for most visual mapping applications.
