ORTHOMOSIC MAPS

If a picture says a thousand words, a few hundred pictures says a lot more. 

​

Imagine flying your drone really high over a huge building, the size of 2 or 3 Costco's.  You would have to fly it pretty high to get the whole building in frame.  Now take that large photo and try zooming in so that you can see something the size of a gum wrapper on the asphalt parking lot of that building.  The resolution would soon degrade so bad that you would be lucky to see a bicycle clearly, let alone a gum wrapper.

​

Now fly your drone over that same building at a lowered height that only gets a small portion of the building in-frame.  But do that over the entire building, overlapping each successive photo as you go.  An orthomosiac map stitches all of those photos (usually hundreds) into a single, high resolution map (photo), that can be zoomed, in-focus, all the way the ground, down to a few centimeters in focus.  that's the power of an orthomosaic map.

​

These maps are very useful to insurance companies evaluating claims, property management companies assessing risk managemet situations, roofing companies identifying roof damage and providing quotes... the list goes on and on.

3D OBLIQUE MAPS

This same Orthomsaic concept can be expanded to create 3D models of any large structure, by pointing the camera at an angle, rather than straight down.  These types of photos are called Obliques and when stitched together can create 3D "Point Clouds" or 3D Models of the intended structure(s).
