GeoTIFF orthophoto
Orthorectified imagery in the agreed coordinate reference system, ready for measurement, digitising and integration into CAD/GIS workflows.
Aerial photogrammetry
Orthophotos and 3D models for large and demanding jobs.
FAE Drones delivers photogrammetric data for measurement, design and project coordination. We define the result, configure the platform and sensor, carry out efficient acquisition and verify the data before delivery.
Aerial photogrammetry
DSM and DTM under verified conditions
Raster surface and terrain models from which spot elevations and contours can be generated at the agreed interval.
LAS/LAZ point cloud
Dense RGB-coloured point cloud and textured 3D model for 3D measurements, sections, volumes and documentation of visible objects.
Control and delivery checks
Processing report covering camera calibration, reprojection errors and GCP/checkpoint verification, according to the project configuration.
Consistent data across extensive areas and difficult terrain
We plan coverage, image overlap and control for the entire site. Terrain, access and limits to ground visibility determine the acquisition geometry and what can be reconstructed.
When vegetation limits observation of the ground or the project requires LiDAR data, we choose an appropriate configuration and integrate the required results.
Photogrammetry, shown clearly
From flight strips to a verified orthomosaic
Planning, geodetic control and QA connect aerial photographs to data a surveyor can confidently use.
Flight strips and camera triggers tracked in flight
Parallel paths, camera positions and RTK status are checked during the mission; final accuracy is validated separately through QA.
Geodetic control measured on site
Control and check points connect the airborne acquisition to the project coordinate system and tolerances.
Image geometry is checked before deliverables are generated
Camera positions and the intermediate reconstruction reveal coverage and areas requiring additional processing.
3D reconstruction, markers and QA errors in one project
The model, cameras, control points and errors are reviewed together before final products are exported.
A georeferenced orthomosaic ready for measurement
The continuous image is delivered in the agreed coordinate system and can be published in the project’s 2D viewer.
Terrain and objects are inspected separately from imagery
Colour-coded elevation supports checks of variation, boundaries and areas that require closer review.
Representative technical examples; the exact delivery depends on the contracted deliverables.
LiDAR as an alternative or complement
FAE offers LiDAR scanning and combined photogrammetry + LiDAR projects
FAE also offers LiDAR; we select the combination according to the terrain and deliverable. Describe the photo + LiDAR results in the same request. A combined package receives one common deadline or separate deadlines, explicitly confirmed; the entire package is not automatically promised at T+2.
What we agree for the survey campaign
The boundary and RGB acquisition, ground control and independent checkpoints, coordinate system, products and delivery checks. We agree on the GeoTIFF orthophoto, LAS/LAZ cloud, DSM and other files needed for the CAD/GIS workflow; a DTM is included only if the terrain can be reconstructed and verified.
The agreed package is distinguished from vectorisation, additional analyses and resolutions or formats requested later. Special adaptations are assessed and quoted separately. Correcting an FAE non-conformity remains part of our delivery obligation.
Competitive pricing through a clearly defined campaign
Coverage planning and integrated processing reduce avoidable repetition. Productive fixed-wing platforms are useful over large areas; the configuration is chosen according to geometry, terrain and the required result. Quality and checks are explicitly agreed for the job.
What your request should include
Send the KML/KMZ boundary or location, area or corridor section, purpose, preferred deadline and deliverables. Unknown technical parameters are clarified before confirmation; you can start your request with the information available.
If you have already sent a request, we continue using its reference. You do not need to complete both the calculator and contact form again for the same job.

View the case studyPublic data and online delivery
Explore the data before defining your project.
The public Masuram portal page provides access to examples of orthomosaics and point clouds. You can view demonstrations without confusing public datasets with access to client projects. Delivery of a new job contains the products and functions agreed for that project.
The included period starts when the project is published in the portal. Access can be extended on request after 12 months.
Orthophoto
View the public dataset in the 2D viewer available through the portal page.
Point cloud
Explore the geometry of the published 3D demonstration dataset.
Agreed delivery
The products, formats and functions needed for your project are established before the order.
Client access
Existing projects have separate access controlled by the administrator.
Urgency accepted individually
Photogrammetry at T+7: package delivered after order confirmation
For projects accepted as urgent, we deliver the agreed photogrammetry data within 7 calendar days of order confirmation (T+7).
T is FAE's written confirmation of the complete order, once the area, deliverables, control, commercial terms, access, operational feasibility and available window have been agreed. The confirmation specifies the delivery date and time.
What the deadline includes and how urgency is confirmed
The deadline includes mobilisation, flight, processing and verification of the entire agreed package. Saturdays and Sundays count towards the accepted deadline. If obstacles arise, we explain the situation and agree on rescheduling; T is not reset unilaterally.
The instantly calculated quote is sent through the existing process and requires technical confirmation. Submitting the form and receiving an automatic quote do not confirm the order, availability or urgent service. For an urgent deadline, enter your preferred date in the existing requirements field.
The urgency surcharge is quoted individually. Availability is confirmed for the project. For photo + LiDAR, we confirm the package and a common deadline or separate deadlines.
