Drone Data Processing Services for Surveyors

A Little Extra Help Surveyors?

Recon Aerial provides professional drone data processing services to surveyors who require high-quality, accurate drafting linework in AutoCAD. By using photogrammetric and ground control data collected in the field, we transform aerial drone imagery into structured, layered AutoCAD drawings that are ready for immediate use in planning and development.

Our services are designed to support surveyors working on civil, commercial, and industrial projects by streamlining the post-processing stage and reducing the time required to deliver precise mapping products to clients. Surveyors already possess the expertise to gather accurate ground control and operate drone systems. By partnering with Recon Aerial, they can offload the complex and time-consuming task of data processing and focus on fieldwork and client relations.

Our drone data processing services deliver AutoCAD linework that clearly represents site inventories, control points, and key project features. These deliverables can be tailored to include layered drawings that facilitate planning, approvals, and coordination with architects, engineers, and other stakeholders. This value-added approach allows surveyors to enhance their service offering and deliver more comprehensive packages to their clients.

The process is simple. You capture the ground control, fly the mission, and upload the raw data. We take care of the drone data processing, ensuring your AutoCAD outputs are accurate, consistent, and formatted to your specifications. Let us help you accelerate project turnaround and deliver high-quality results with confidence.

Aerial to AutoCAD - Recon Aerial

Need Help from A-Z?

Need accurate AutoCAD drawings for your project but don’t have the time or experience?

Don’t worry about it we can take care of it!

Recon Aerial plans the flight and site work from your project description/kmz file. We excute the mission and provide highly accurate, georeferenced AutoCAD linework .dwg files from drone aerial imagery and ground control data.

It’s simple

  • you choose the drawing feature set
  • we fly the mission,
  • we produce the deliverable

Recon Aerial will process and deliver often within 7 days.

Need pricing? Get in touch for a custom quote for your project, our pricing is extremely affordable.

Similar Ai-based, human-in-the-loop pricing costs 10X more and I guarantee we are less expensive and faster than traditional survey methods.

Deliverables Direct to your Desktop

We provide geo-referenced, accurate AutoCAD documents that you can start working on immediately.

Drone-based Photogrammetric Exports

Drone-based Photogrammetric Exports

We provide the following file exports for each drone flight operation. These exports can be easily incorporated into engineering, architectural workflows:

  • DTM (.tif and tiles)
  • DSM (.tif and tiles)
  • ORTHO (.tif and tiles)
  • CONTOURS (1 ft, depends on the terrain and the client requirement)
  • POINT CLOUD (.dxf .fbx .mtl .obj .pdf .ply)
  • 3D MESH(.las .ply xyz)

This photogrammetric drone-based data can be used for planning, measurements, 3D modeling, and much more in software programs such as Leica Geosystems TruView, QGIS, Agisoft, 3DF Zephr, Autodesk Recap, Revit and Navisworks, Bently Context Capture, Correlator3D, Trimble Inpho, Reality Capture, and Pix4D

Drone-based AutoCAD Drawings

Recon Aerial provides drone-based AutoCAD exports. We include a standard feature set such as roads, curbs, paint striping, parking spaces, crosswalks, building footprints, elevations on corners/center of buildings, spot elevations, pathways, manholes, storm sewer drains, transformers, light standards, sidewalks, building labels (white), GCP points (with coordinates), the land area within the site boundary (in acres), etc.

However, we understand that all sites are not the same and thus we provide you the flexibility to discretely add on additional feature sets specific to your needs.

Your geo-referenced, layered .dwg drawing will include a feature set, standard title block, scale and we will also include GCP and Stereo plotting validation reports, which outline the accuracy of the drawing.

Mapping and Surveying
Yes, we use the best drones and survey receivers to create very accurate maps. Not just any maps. We have a first-in-Canada Aerial-AutoCAD workflow. We deliver survey-grade mapping images with geoferenced line work directly to our clients desktops. This is better than traditional surveyor drawings because our line work is layered on on geoferenced images of your site. You simply open the files we provide on your desktop and get to work!
  • Mapping specific sensors
  • GNSS survey receivers
  • Aerial to AutoCAD deliverables

Construction Sites
We offer progress monitoring via drone, site management media, live-stream timelapse services and CAD mapping. We help site staff and project managers see things from a different perspective. This helps cut down on evaluation time, better predict problems before they occur, and helps keep projects on schedule. Project managers can quickly control and confirm work completion.
  • Site progress shots
  • Live streaming 24/7 timelapse
  • Mapping, earthworks and site logistics
