01What is aerial mapping?

Aerial mapping uses drones to photograph an area from above with high overlap, then stitches and geo-references the images into one seamless map. Unlike a normal photo, an orthomosaic is corrected for lens distortion and terrain, so every point sits in its true position.

02How MKA Mesh Systems delivers

• Mission planning — coverage, resolution (GSD) and overlap tuned to your needs.
• Ground control — for accurate geo-referencing.
• Processing — orthomosaic, DSM and point cloud generation.
• Delivery — GeoTIFF, tiled maps or web map access.

03Deliverables

• High-resolution orthomosaics (GeoTIFF)
• Digital surface models (DSM)
• Tiled / web-ready maps for online viewing
• Measurable maps for area, distance and counts
• Time-series maps for change monitoring

04Applications & industries

Urban and land-use planning, construction and project monitoring, agriculture, mining, real estate, disaster and environmental assessment, and any project needing a current, accurate map of a large area.

05Why drone maps beat outdated satellite imagery

Free satellite imagery is often years old and low resolution. A drone orthomosaic is captured on demand at centimetre resolution — so you see the site as it is today, in detail you can actually measure.

06Frequently asked questions

How detailed are your maps? Typically 1–5 cm per pixel — far sharper than satellite imagery.

Can you map large areas? Yes — from a few hectares to thousands, flown in multiple missions and merged.

Can I view the map online? Yes — we can deliver web-hosted, shareable maps for your team.
