Mapping & Surveying

NEXA / APPLICATIONS

Mapping & Surveying

Aerial platforms for rapid, high-resolution capture of terrain and sites, supporting mapping, planning, and survey workflows where ground-based measuring is slow or costly.

Survey drone scanning open terrain for mapping work

Broad area coverage

Cover large sites and corridors far faster than ground-based survey.

High-resolution capture

Dense imagery forms the basis of accurate mapping products.

Positioned for accuracy

GNSS and RTK support align captured data to survey coordinates.

Repeatable missions

Automated routes deliver consistent overlap and coverage between flights.

Application scenarios

Our platforms are configured around the payload, accuracy, range and data requirements of each survey task.

Topographic mapping

Terrain and ground features for topographic and base-map products.

Construction monitoring

Site progress and earthwork capture through the build cycle.

Stockpile & volume

Materials, fill and cut measurements to support site reporting.

Corridor mapping

Roads, rail, power and pipeline corridors over long distances.

Environmental survey

Land-use, vegetation and boundary assessment across open areas.

Accurate data, captured at scale

The right drone platform, payload and mission workflow combine into reliable survey data across different terrain and site conditions.

Automated flight

Pre-programmed routes yield consistent overlap and coverage for photogrammetry.

High-resolution imagery

Dense, detailed capture of terrain and sites for accurate mapping products.

Positioning accuracy

GNSS and RTK positioning aligns captured data to survey coordinate systems.

Rapid area coverage

Cover large sites and long corridors far faster than ground survey crews.

From mission planning to inspection data

A clear workflow turns a site into usable inspection records.

01

Plan mission

Define the flight area, altitude, overlap and target ground resolution.

02

Capture imagery

Collect RGB or multispectral images with automated waypoint flight.

03

Process data

Stitch imagery with photogrammetry software into usable products.

04

Generate products

Produce orthomosaics, digital terrain and surface models.

05

Deliver results

Export georeferenced data for mapping, planning and site systems.

Configure the platform around the mission

Each survey starts with the product you need to deliver. We match the platform to the area, the accuracy required and the data your workflow expects.

Payload

RGB or multispectral camera chosen around the mapping product you need.

Range & endurance

Matched to the site area and the number of passes a flight plan requires.

Control & data

GNSS / RTK positioning and mission planning configured to your survey workflow.

Environment

Terrain, altitude and site conditions inform the platform choice.

Flexible payload integration

NEXA platforms can carry the payloads a mission needs. Send us your requirements and we will evaluate the fit.

RGB camera

Multispectral

LiDAR

Thermal camera

Zoom camera

RTK / GNSS

Custom sensors

Post-processing

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about choosing and configuring a mapping platform.

Can the drone carry our own camera or multispectral sensor?

Yes, depending on payload weight, mounting, power supply, data interface and aircraft configuration. Send us the payload specifications for evaluation.

Can accuracy be improved with RTK?

Positioning accuracy depends on platform capability, GNSS / RTK support, ground control and processing method. Tell us your target accuracy and we will advise.

What mapping products can be produced from the data?

Captured imagery can be processed into orthomosaics, digital terrain and surface models, and point clouds using photogrammetry software.

Do automated capture missions work over large sites?

Waypoint missions and planned routes support consistent, repeatable overlap across large areas, depending on the selected platform and conditions.

What information do you need to recommend a platform?

Target area, required ground resolution or accuracy, payload type, flight time and operating environment are the most useful starting points.

Can we add our real product specs to this page?

Verified product data is the preferred source of technical proof. We can keep the application explanation concise and let confirmed specs support the detail.
