LIDAR & PHOTOGRAMMETRY Stoney-Miller Consultants began offering sUAS ( small Unmanned Aerial Systems), also referred to as drone, services to our clients in 2019. Modern day technology has allowed SMC to offer rapidly produced custom RGB imagery and georeferenced 3D models for individual projects. Drone imagery is acquired by our DJI Phantom 4 RTK sUAS. The ability to acquire highly accurate positioning data makes our sUAS the perfect tool for detecting local surface movement due to erosion, settlement, or any other mechanism, or for monitoring progress of earthwork or other construction related activity. Our sUAS makes acquiring imagery in hard to reaches areas, such as mountainous terrain, tall structures, or bluff faces, an easy and quick task. Additionally, we offer LiDAR acquisition and data reduction services. Fully tailored to the individual project, our LiDAR sensor is capable of capturing astoundingly well resolved elevation surveys. Whether you require 2 points per square foot, or 300, we have the equipment to get you the products your team requires. LiDAR is well-suited to areas with high vegetative coverage as the mechanics of the system allow for multiple returns of the internal laser, measuring both the vegetative canopy and the ground surface. Our equipment consists of a state-of-the-art Quanergy M8 Ultra LiDAR sensor mounted to a Geodetics MEMs platform. The payload if flown by our DJI Matrice 600 sUAS. Depending on the terrain, we can survey up to 500 acres in a single day. Our drones typically fly at altitudes of 170-300 feet above ground, allowing our clients to continue work at the ground level. Output formats include GIS and CAD/BIM compatible files, as well as Cloud hosted solutions for imagery, 3D models and meshes, which are easily accessed from any device with internet browser capability. Our on-staff team of FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) licensed (FAA Part 107) sUAS pilots are extremely knowledgeable of the guidelines regulating these systems, ensuring our clients that their projects will conform with Federal, State, and local regulations. Please contact James Stewart-Moore, M.Sc. in our Irvine, CA office @ (949)380-4886 for your project needs. We are happy to provide sample data!
