Questions about drone filming and survey in Rwanda

Measurement and imagery you can work from: classified LiDAR point clouds, bare earth terrain models, orthomosaic maps, contours, 3D models, volumetric reports, crop health and prescription maps, condition reports and finished aerial film. Everything is issued in your coordinate reference system and file formats.

Accuracy depends on flight height, ground control density, vegetation and terrain, so we do not publish a single headline figure. We use RTK or PPK positioning with independently surveyed ground control, hold back check points that are excluded from the adjustment, and report the residuals in the survey report. Tell us your site and required tolerance and we will tell you what we expect to hold and how we will demonstrate it.

Photogrammetry reconstructs what the camera can see, so over dense vegetation it returns the top of the canopy. LiDAR pulses reach the ground between leaves, so it returns the true terrain underneath. For corridors, forestry and marshland, that difference is the whole job. On open ground, photogrammetry is often the better value choice.

We operate across the country. Some locations need additional planning and formal permission, including populated areas, ground near airports, sites controlled by government institutions and areas with heavy air traffic. We handle that process for you; build a few days into the programme for it.

Yes. We run seasonal contracts so a cooperative or farm gets full drone capability, including spraying, seeding, spreading and crop data products, without buying aircraft or training pilots.
