How we capture your aerial surveying data
Top 5 tips for spatial servies
Capture detailed and highly accurate data across larger areas and at higher altitudes - using a stable twin-engine aircraft equipped with advanced cameras and sensor technology.
Your quality data outcomes
Orthophoto mosaics
Distortion-free, geometrically correct aerial imagery foundational for accurate GIS integration, mapping, and asset registers. It aligns seamlessly with other spatial layers.
Digital elevation models
Provide essential elevation data for applications from land-use planning and flood modelling to environmental conservation.
Volume calculations
Perform volume calculations between different surfaces – for mining volumes, land movement analysis, and environmental monitoring and planning.
Multi-band orthomosaics
Enable vegetation and environmental monitoring and mapping, biodiversity mapping, and carbon accounting.
Aerial photography
We capture vertical and oblique aerial imagery across Australia, using:
Vulcanair P68C twin-engine aircraft
- High wing configuration for extreme stability
- Lower carbon emissions, due to superior fuel-to-weight ratio
Additional aircraft: Piper Navajo and Cessna C205.
PhaseOne 280i large format camera
- 280MP, 4-band solution
- 90mm lens for RGB
- 50mm lens for near-infrared
- Coverage of 20,000 pixels across
- Capture rate of 2 FPS
Additional system: Leica RCD30
IX Process for image processing
- Radiometry adjustments
- Colour balancing
- Image annotation
SimActive Correlator3D for orthorectification
- Distortion correction for each frame
- Orthomosaic creation from individual images
- Feathering, colour balance and seamline editing
This imagery is ideal for the mapping, volumetric calculations and vegetation management that’s so essential for crbon project developers, biodiversity offset providers, and nature‑based solution firms planning.
We can also overlay other data onto these photos, including:
- Contours
- Geographic information
- Traffic management information
- Underground and overhead services
- Title boundaries

FAQs
We use a large format sensor to reduce the amount of time required to capture imagery, which minimises risks due to unsuitable weather and changing sun angles over the area.
Our team always plans for redundancy timeframes to allow for weather, air traffic and aircraft maintenance delays.
Our processing contingencies include:
- Hiring additional licenses of our software, SimActive Correlator3D.
- Adding additional human resources to your project.
- Ensuring that all available computer workstations are processing your images 24/7, with our remote access software.
- Keeping you constantly updated with weekly progress reports.
We understand that government organisations have very specific data storage and requirements sharing requirements. For that reason, your scanning data:
- Is not stored in the cloud – it is kept securely on our servers in the short term.
- Is owned by you, not us – we do not ‘rent’ your data back to you.
- Is transferred to you and then removed as required from our servers.
