How can a raid be made?

Companies have several options:

  • Do it yourself: all you need is a drone with a camera (preferably with RTK function) and basic training in photogrammetry. If you need help with this, our experts, or friendly proven consultants, can help you set up the process, purchase equipment,
  • With a drone or surveying company: Working with a specialized company guarantees optimal flight paths, appropriate weather conditions and data quality.

How to process the data?

  • Self-processing: Users can process the data themselves and upload it to the SkySnap portal.
  • SkySnap Processing Service is one of the options that allows you to pay for processing without having to buy software or very expensive high-speed computers.
  • With an outside company: If you already know a friendly surveying or drone company they can do this for you. Tell them to contact us, we will help them set up the process from data processing, raids to providing you with regular calculations.
