3D Orthomosaic Mapping and FLIR Thermal Imaging

Orthomosaic Imagery

Drone Aerial Mapping

Map out your manufacturing plant, or your property to check for elevation, draining or highlight specific areas and show them in 3D.

Othomosaic is perfect for all of the above.  It consolidates numerous pictures into a single, highly detailed one you can zoom in on any part.

Drone Infrared and Thermal Imaging

We’re sUAS Thermography Level I certified and can provide you the drone infrared photos and/or videos of your plant location of property

Matrice 200 SUV Drone

Obstacle Avoidance – A robust Flight Autonomy system with front, bottom and upper sensors detects and avoids obstacles while enabling precision hovering so that you can fly with confidence.

Anti-Collision Beacon

Equipped with new top and bottom anti-collision beacons, the V2 drones are visible at night or in lowlight conditions, making operation in less than ideal conditions safer.

DJI AirSense

With a built-in ADS-B receiver, the DJI AirSense technology enhances airspace safety by automatically providing the operator with real-time information about nearby airplanes and helicopters.

Thermal FLIR

Join our next generation of commercial drone solutions with the XT2.

Pairing the FLIR Tau 2 thermal sensor and 4K visual camera with

DJI’s leading stabilization and machine intelligence technology,

the XT2 quickly transforms aerial data into powerful thermal insights

that save time, money – and lives.

 

Create Orthomosaic Maps

Orthomosaics are large, map-quality images made by combining aerial photos that have been orthorectified, or corrected for lens distortion, camera tilt, perspective, and topographic relief.

 

Use our drone imagery to generate high-resolution 2D maps and 3D models.  We’ll capture aerial images ideal for your type of project, process and generate orthomosaic maps and 3D models, and allow you to use your maps to measure distance, area, and volume.

St Louis Aerial Drone Video for Commercials and Movie Production

The Inspire has a curved lens design which eliminates distortion, and the 20mm focal length opens up your shots to a remarkably wide angle without that fish-eye look.  The camera shoots video at 4K, 4096 x 2150 High Definition.

The 3-axis gimbal constantly draws on data fed by the intelligent flight controller, so it knows the aircraft’s flight parameters and computes the proper motion correction every millisecond.  Such precision is only possible because of the ultra-fast, custom-made processor that is unique to the Inspire gimbal. Operating at speeds that allow the gimbal to compensate for motion and tilt in real-time, this processor controls motors on all three axes: yaw, tilt, and roll.  All resulting in very smooth and  completely stable shots.

Hotel Restaurant Marketing Communications | St Louis Aerial Filming

Due to their size drones are able to fly into areas that were once not possible. They can fly from only a few feet off of the ground to 400 feet in the air as one long continuous shot, while panning and framing a chosen subject.  With our unique filming tools our crew can video tape aerial views inside a room and out through a window or door, giving the aerial film makers a very unique shot.

Drones can 360-degree rotate on the spot, move left, right up or down, all at the touch of the pilot’s command, while giving the navigator total autonomy to position the camera to frame the perfect shot.

Creating value from drone-captured 3D data is where future aerial stands out from the crowd.

Our experts use the latest technology to create photo-realistic 3D point-cloud and mesh models of structures and landscapes, which are interactive, high-resolution and highly accurate. This allows us to create model data that is of real use to our customers and not simply a bit of eye-candy.

Visual Inspections become:

MORE EFFICIENT. Space and structure can be modelled in immense detail once and then reviewed and re-reviewed indefinitely thereafter. With traditional inspections, the inspection team would need to revisit the site if the initial pass was not satisfactory

QUICKER. Drones can cover surfaces or structures  faster than traditional methods

CHEAPER. Avoid costs associated with engaging traditional inspections teams, associated equipment and insurance costs.

COMPARABLE to previous traditional and 3d modelled inspections. A 3D model created from drone-captured data is a photo-realistic, point-in-time copy of the subject space or structure. Mapping changes over time is made possible in a way never achievable before.

MEASURABLE. Our 3D models are accurate.  Engineers, Architects, Planners can measure structures and landscapes, the height of stockpiles or the depth of excavations to a degree of accuracy acceptable to regulatory bodies and inspectors.

3D mapping and surveying become:

POSSIBLE in areas where manned aircraft borne LiDAR is not suitable

CHEAPER. Avoid costs associated with engaging traditional methods, associated equipment and insurance costs. Drone based 3D modelling is up to 5x cheaper than LiDAR for areas under 60km2*

COMPARABLE to previous traditional and 3D modelled surveys. In effect, a 3D model created from drone-captured data is a photo-realistic, point-in-time-copy of the subject (space of structure). Mapping changes over time is made possible in a way never possible before.

MEASURABLE. Our 3D models are accurate.  3D Game Designers, Surveyors and planners can use our 3D models to develop realistic simulations of current and proposed structures for use in Games, Environmental analysis among many industries

Drone Aerial Video Production for Live Events

We have safely documented hundreds of live events!   St Louis Drones is a Video Production and Photography company. We are a small firm that has been in the photography and video business since 1982. In the past we’ve shot traditional aerials, but over the past two years we have logged many thousands of hours with our aerial drones.
We have our 333 exemption from the FAA as Safe-To-Fly. We adhere to all FAA guidelines. For safety and quality, we shoot with a two-man crew, and we are fully insured. Our pilot always keeps visual contact with the drone, while our navigator guides and directs the shot.
The Inspire has a curved lens design which eliminates distortion, and the 20mm focal length opens up your shots to a remarkably wide angle without that fish-eye look. The camera shoots video at 4K, 4096 x 2150 High Definition.

Drone Building Inspections St Louis

We started flying the Inspire for a recent project and soon discovered the GPS was lacking in this particular area of tall buildings.  So we decided to go back to our first flying tool the Phantom and pulled the GoPro camera and modified it with an extension to view the outer perimeter of the building area.  The goal was to find the source of a few well hidden leaks.  In addition the tuck pointing on this building was recently completed so the new leaks were a surprise to all involved.

The first image is the jpeg from the raw shot which we enlarged quite a bit.

All in all the project was a success, the building management team was quite pleased with the quick and economical findings.
