From Site to Digital Twin: Our Professional Mapping Workflow

Creating a digital copy of a site seems simple: fly a drone and take photos. In practice, however, there is much more to it.

To create a terrain model that surveyors, site managers, and developers can truly rely on, an accurate and controlled process is required. At DroneView, we work with a professional mapping workflow where precision is key.

Step 1: Preparation and Mission Planning

Before heading to the site, the flight is digitally prepared. We analyze the airspace (especially in complex zones like Brussels) and program the optimal flight path. We determine the ideal overlap between photos to ensure a seamless 3D model later on.
