Photorealistic 3D scenes

Gaussian Splats

Explore your project as a walkable 3D scene. Photorealistic, from every angle. Ideal for presentations, documentation and decisions based on real-world impressions.

Millimetre-accurate models with texture

3D Models & Meshes

Millimetre-accurate 3D models with realistic texture. Ready to use in CAD, GIS and visualisation software. Ideal for digital twins, urban planning visualisation, volume calculations and structural analyses.

Aerial imagery without distortion

True and CIR Orthophotos

True-to-scale aerial images without perspective distortion. Every pixel precisely georeferenced. The foundation for planning, documentation and analysis.

Digital terrain and surface models

Elevation Models, Environmental Monitoring and Planning

Digital terrain and surface models for environmental monitoring, simulations, construction planning and volume calculations.

Millions of classified measurement points

Classified Point Clouds

Dense point clouds in which every point is assigned to a category. Ground, vegetation, buildings, bridges and more. The basis for engineering surveying, terrain and building models or detailed analyses.

Multispectral and NIR Imagery

Specialised sensors also capture light outside the visible spectrum. This makes it possible to reliably detect vegetation health, soil moisture, environmental changes or defects in solar installations.

Safe and efficient from the air

Inspections, Detail Imagery and Corridor Mapping

Infrastructure and structures such as roads, high-voltage lines, roofs or hard-to-reach facilities can be inspected and surveyed safely from the air, individually or along corridors. High-resolution images, point clouds and 3D models enable precise capture.
