Gain a perfectly perpendicular view of your site or project with Off The Ground's vertical drone photography (Nadir) services. These precise, top-down images provide valuable data for a variety of applications, from surveying and inspections to mapping and 3D modeling.
What is Vertical (Nadir) Photography?
Vertical or Nadir photography involves capturing images directly downwards, with the camera lens pointing perpendicular to the ground. This creates a distortion-free, orthographic view, ideal for accurate measurements and analysis. Unlike oblique aerial photos, which are taken at an angle, Nadir images provide a true top-down perspective.
Benefits of Vertical Drone Photography:
Accurate Measurements:
- Nadir images are ideal for precise measurements of distances, areas, and volumes, crucial for surveying and construction projects.
Orthorectification and Mapping:
- These images can be processed to create orthomosaics (geometrically corrected images) and accurate maps for land surveying, urban planning, and environmental monitoring.
Detailed Inspections:
- Vertical photos provide a clear and comprehensive view of roofs, solar panels, infrastructure, and other assets, facilitating detailed inspections and maintenance planning.
3D Modeling and Analysis:
- Nadir images are essential for creating accurate 3D models of terrain, buildings, and other structures for analysis and visualization.
Data Consistency:
- The consistent perspective of Nadir imagery allows for easy comparison and tracking of changes over time.
What we offer:
1.
High-Resolution Imaging:
- We use advanced drone technology and high-resolution cameras to capture detailed and accurate vertical photos.
2.
GPS Tagging and Georeferencing:
