Data
Processing
Turning raw captures into engineering deliverables — orthophoto, DTM, contour, 3D model, point-cloud and GIS outputs, processed by photogrammetry and GIS specialists.
What is drone data processing?
Raw drone imagery is only the starting point. Data processing is where hundreds of overlapping photographs and dense point clouds are turned into the measurable, structured outputs an engineering or GIS team actually works from — orthophotos, terrain models, contours, 3D models and CAD layers.
ArioPix's team of GIS and photogrammetry specialists can assist and support any remote-sensing project: extracting features, generating contours, building elevation models and delivering clean, geo-referenced files. For large-scale projects we can map an area of interest periodically for change-detection analysis, encroachment identification and progress monitoring — integrating the data with your project plan for critical insight.
From pixels to deliverables.
2D & 3D Feature Extraction
Detailed 2D and 3D feature extraction is carried out from aerial imagery and dense point clouds — surface-feature extraction, spot-elevation marking, contour generation, and CAD drawing overlay and matching. The result is accurate planimetric data engineering teams can design against.
Typical outputs: orthophoto, high-resolution base map, multiple GIS layers, cadastral data integration, 3D feature extraction, volumetric calculation, KMZ / KML / SHP / DWG files, spot levels and cross sections.
Contour Mapping
A contour line connects points of equal elevation, forming a smooth curve along a single height value. Mapped across a site, contours describe the shape of the terrain in a way that drainage, grading and civil-design workflows depend on.
GIS Mapping
Maps are the first requirement at the start of any engineering project — from small construction works to large mining and infrastructure programmes. GIS mapping organises survey outputs into structured, query-able layers, so spatial data becomes a decision-making tool rather than a static drawing.
DEM & DTM
A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is a digital representation of land-surface elevation relative to a reference datum. A Digital Terrain Model (DTM) refines this to the bare-earth surface, with vegetation and structures removed — the basis for accurate slope, drainage and earthwork analysis.
Orthorectification
Orthorectification removes the distortion caused by camera tilt, lens geometry and terrain relief from aerial imagery, producing a corrected image with uniform, map-accurate scale. Alongside UAV data acquisition, it is the step that makes drone photography reliable for general mapping and measurement.
