Turn drone flights into interactive site models.

Create detailed 3D site models and high-resolution maps from the drone you already own. Take measurements, annotate it with media, make a timeline of site progression, and share the project with your team from one browser-based workspace.

Interactive 3D model Live viewer

Drag to rotate. Right-click and drag to move.

From imagery to useful project data

One flight. Multiple ways to understand the site.

AerialModel turns overlapping drone photos into practical site records that can be viewed, measured, and shared without sending specialized desktop files back and forth.

3D site models

Build an interactive model of buildings, terrain, stockpiles, and site conditions from overlapping aerial photos.

High-resolution aerial maps

Combine large image sets into a single overhead map for documentation, planning, and repeat site comparisons.

High-resolution aerial map created from drone imagery

Measure and inspect

Review the site from multiple viewing modes and capture distance, area, elevation, and contextual project information.

Industry leading model accuracy.

For supported non-RTK and non-PPK drone workflows, AerialModel can use AerialAlign-corrected imagery to reduce systematic camera-position error before processing. Better-positioned source photos can improve real-world map alignment, measurement accuracy, and consistency across flights without replacing the drone.

See how AerialAlign works

72%coordinate-error reduction in a published AerialAlign test

≥67%coordinate-error reduction in a second published test

89%average dimension-error reduction across four published measurements

Results vary by drone, flight conditions, image metadata, reference coverage, and project geometry. “Up to 95%” is an AerialModel performance claim for supported workflows and is not guaranteed. AerialAlign is intended to improve alignment and measurement workflows; it is not a replacement for legal surveying.
