Reality Capture / Aerial Photogrammetry
Aerial Photogrammetry uses overlapping high-resolution photographs and geospatial processing to produce georeferenced orthomosaics and 3D site models. Eagle scopes each collection around the capture area, accuracy requirements, and the outputs the project team needs.

What It Is
Aerial Photogrammetry reconstructs three-dimensional geometry from overlapping high-resolution photographs. Specialized software identifies common features among the images and creates a georeferenced record that can be viewed, measured, compared, and incorporated into engineering and construction workflows.
Before mobilization, Eagle establishes the image coverage, flight altitude, airspace, georeferencing, and delivery requirements. The photographs are then aligned, processed, reviewed, and delivered through the agreed project workspace or in the required file formats.
Where required by the scope, Eagle uses ground control points (GCPs) tied to project control to establish the photogrammetric model. Separate independent ground verification/check shots—sometimes called ground truthing—may be used to evaluate accuracy without being used to build the model.
Planned overlap creates consistent coverage across the capture area.
Overlapping photographs are aligned and converted into georeferenced mapping products.
Authorized users can view, measure, share, and coordinate from the processed imagery.
3D RECONSTRUCTION WITH CAMERA POSITIONS, FORT WORTH
Best-Fit Conditions
High-resolution mapping where the ground and visible surface features can be clearly photographed from the air.
Georeferenced aerial mapping supporting due diligence, design coordination, construction, and documentation.
Recurring photogrammetry can support Eagle’s Construction Progress Monitoring and Documentation service by creating a consistent visual record over time.
Efficient coverage across broad project areas requiring detailed visual context and surface information.
Photogrammetric surface models can support earthwork and stockpile analysis when those calculations are included in the project scope.
Aerial imagery and surface coverage along visible roadway, utility, drainage, and site-development corridors.
Aerial LiDAR provides a higher degree of accuracy than aerial photogrammetry, which is one of the factors Eagle weighs when recommending a collection method. When a project requires both high-resolution visual context and bare-earth terrain beneath dense vegetation, Eagle can coordinate Aerial Photogrammetry and Aerial LiDAR Mapping within the same scope.
The project scope establishes the image resolution, coordinate system, accuracy requirements, project workspace access, processing workflow, and final deliverables.
When ground visibility, control, and processing requirements support the intended use, the same collection may also produce terrain models, surface models, 3D models, and contours.
Our Process
01
Establish the capture limits, accuracy requirements, image resolution, coordinate system, project workspace needs, and final deliverables.
02
Set the image overlap and flight altitude, and review applicable FAA airspace, operating restrictions, authorization requirements, weather, physical access, and safety.
03
Capture the overlapping photographs, align the images, and produce the orthomosaic and other scoped mapping products.
04
Complete quality control and provide the agreed project workspace and finished files established in the project scope.
Reliable photogrammetric products begin with precise flight planning, strong project control, consistent image quality, calibrated equipment, and disciplined processing. Eagle establishes the accuracy requirements and QA/QC procedures before collection begins.
Aerial Collection Capability
Eagle operates eVTOL fixed-wing and multirotor UAS platforms, allowing the aircraft and flight plan to be selected around the required coverage, image resolution, terrain, access, and operating conditions.
Eagle’s eVTOL fixed-wing platform supports efficient collection across large tracts and long corridors, with vertical takeoff and landing that does not require a traditional runway.
Multirotor platforms provide flexible collection options where the capture area, access, or required geometry calls for a different aircraft.
Flight operations are conducted under FAA Part 107 by pilots holding FAA Remote Pilot Certificates.

Surveying Integration
Aerial Photogrammetry may be incorporated into a professional Topographic Survey when the assignment requires a survey deliverable supported by survey control, applicable GCPs, independent verification, supplemental collection, calculations, drafting, and RPLS review.
Explore Topographic Surveys →Accuracy requirements are established during scoping and carried through flight planning, project control, image quality, calibrated equipment, processing, and quality review. Eagle develops the control and QA/QC approach around the intended use of the finished products.
