DATA PROCESSING
Capturing aerial data is only part of the story. Raw data collected during a drone survey needs to be processed through specialised software before it becomes a usable, meaningful product.
Data processing involves turning thousands of images or millions of laser points into geo-referenced outputs that can be analysed, shared, and acted on.
At Flying Fox Drone Solutions, we offer data processing as a flexible, optional service charged separately from data capture. This means clients who have their own processing workflows or in-house GIS capability can simply receive their raw data and take it from there. For those who need finished outputs, we can take the data all the way through to final deliverables.
Key deliverables
We’ll work with you to identify which outputs best suit your project goals and deliver them in formats compatible with the GIS platforms and workflows your team already uses.
ONLINE VIEWER
For photogrammetry, we can provide a secure and private link to an online viewing platform.
This includes powerful tools to view, measure, annotate and produce your own downloadable maps.

We can provide various outputs suited to GIS software including:
.LAS, .SHP files
Digital Elevetaion Models
Point clouds
