senseFly Survey 360

As easy as X, Y, Z

Every few years, the geospatial industry undergoes a revolution. First it was GPS, then came total stations, laser scanners and robotics. Now, professionals are adding another new tool: mapping drones.

These automated ‘eye in the sky’ solutions boast quick data collection times, excellent positional accuracy and a safe operator experience. These benefits are why drones—or UAS/UAVs—are, quite literally, taking off.

If you’re new to UAVs, the senseFly Survey 360 is your perfect starting point. This comprehensive package includes all the globally-trusted senseFly and Pix4D products you need to produce high-quality raster data and visual products. These outputs are compatible with your existing CAD, survey and GIS software. Plus, Survey 360 is backed by expert support.

The technology is proven. The results speak for themselves. It’s time to join the revolution.

The time has come

“senseFly’s eBee has given me the best R.O.I. of any

surveying tool I own.”

CONNECTED• Compatible with leading base stations• Data outputs compatible with industry

software (AutoCAD/ArcGIS/Bentley etc.)

EFFICIENT• 75%-80% quicker than terrestrial measurement1 • 3-5x lower cost than terrestrial2 • Map up to 10x more ground, per flight, than

multirotor drones• eMotion flight software ensures optimal results

With senseFly’s Survey 360, your data collection is virtually automatic. Simply define the exact site you want to survey, launch the eBee

Plus into the air, and the drone flies, captures high-resolution images and lands itself. Leaving you to focus on analysing its data.

Accurate geodata in hours, not days

“The eBee Plus can cover most sites in just one flight and with its built-in RTK it is even more

economical, saving us yet more time on the ground. These savings allow us, in turn, to cut our clients’ costs

significantly compared to a terrestrial approach.”Armin Weber, Co-founder, Lerch Weber AG, Switzerland

PLAN• Define the site (or sites) to map• Choose & configure your high precision

methodology (e.g. RTK using VRS)• Survey one or more sites per flight

GENERATE• Process the drone’s georeferenced photos

(choose local/cloud processing)• Analyse geo-accurate orthomosaic, point

cloud & surface model outputs

CAPTURE• Capture high-resolution, georeferenced RGB images• Up to 220 ha (540 ac) at 120 m/400 ft AGL

(cover 1,320 ha/3,260 ac per day*)

ACT• Create client deliverables (contours, cadastre

plans, classified point cloud etc.) • Import drone outputs into third-party software

(CAD etc.) as required

*) Based on six eBee Plus flights of 59 min each.

A world of applications

LandSurveying

• Cadastre: produce drone orthomosaic to create or update land cover & single object layers

• Cadastre: overlay vector cadastre on drone orthomosaic to identify missing objects

• Cadastre: vectorise buildings/objects for upgrading of cadastre into 3D

• Topographic mapping: use drone DTM for new developments (e.g. building construction, noise barrier design)

• Import drone data into: AutoCAD, Trimble Business Center, Virtual Surveyor etc.

Urban Planning & Land Management

• Residential development: import drone DSM into CAD to build virtual models based on elevation data

• Land tenure: use drone orthomosaic to define boundaries when granting land titles

• Flood simulation: generate DTM to simulate flooding & prepare response/design prevention measures

• Waste management: use drone DTM & orthomosaic to calculate landfill volumes

• Import drone data into: ArcGIS, QGIS, GeoMedia, GlobalMapper etc.

A drone not only complements your existing survey instruments. As operators around the world are learning, it also has the potential to help you expand your company’s services into brand new fields.

Land departments have begun accepting drone data for cadastre. More GIS users are employing drone data in place of satellite imagery. Frequent quarry surveys are now possible, golf course modelling is common, the list goes on.

Mining, Quarries & Aggregates

• Reconciliation & valuation: measure stockpile volumes regularly within drone’s point cloud

• Condition assessment: assess condition/slopes of haul roads & loading pads

• Asset management: optimise plant item locations in virtual drone model–checking sight lines, assessing disruption etc.

• Safe site surveys: conduct surveys from site’s perimeter–limiting surveyor time on-site & reducing risk/disruption

• Import drone data into: MineSight 3D, Maptek, Surpac, AutoCAD Civil 3D etc.

Construction & Earthworks

• Engineering design: speed up project planning with accurate pre-construction surveys

• Volume measurement: use 3D drone outputs to accurately measure cut & fill

• In-construction & as-built surveys: monitor progress & document projects via easily repeatable drone flights

• Documentation & reporting: use drone orthomosaic & images to improve stakeholder communication & ensure compliance

• Import drone data into: AutoCAD, Trimble Business Center, NRG Survey etc.

“The eBee Plus has revolutionised the laborious weekly task of measuring our cut and fill. Before, we would use robotic total stations and GPS, which took two to three days. Now we fly in half a day. The drone is the best money our survey department has ever spent.”

Nick Kelly, Chief Land Surveyor, GRAHAM Construction, Ireland
