Photogrammetry is used to support surveying and engineering efforts by extracting measurements from hi-resolution imagery to develop highly accurate geospatial products, including planimetric and topographic maps, DTM’s, 3D models and contours. Aerial LiDAR collection provides another data pipeline for elevation data and analysis that is used to complement traditional photogrammetry.
MFS offers full in-house photogrammetry and aerial LiDAR services to public and private entities throughout the Northeast and Caribbean. Our ASPRS Certified Photogrammetrists, stereo plotter operators and off-line technicians provide top quality geospatial products to our internal survey and engineering departments, as well as directly serving outside clients from various disciplines.
Our photogrammetry and LiDAR capabilities play a significant role in the various stages of project development, from initial surveys for base mapping and 3D model creation to ongoing monitoring and site analysis. MFS leverages traditional fixed wing manned aircraft and/or in-house drones (sUAS’s) to obtain hi-resolution imagery and airborne LiDAR data, depending on the needs of the project.
