Drone Data Pipelines
Automated pipelines that ingest raw drone imagery and produce orthomosaics, DTM/DSM, and 3D point clouds as streamable COG. Integrates with OpenDroneMap, Pix4D, OdaSurveyAir.

The problem we solve
Every drone flight turns into hours of manual processing: importing images, running photogrammetry, exporting, renaming, uploading — with human error each time and outputs in formats unfit for the web. An automated pipeline turns a flight into view-ready products within hours, not days, at the same standards every time.
Who needs this service
Surveying and inspection firms, drone-fleet operators, and geospatial data teams that process recurring flights and need standardized, fast, web-streamable outputs.
When you need this service
- You process drone data manually and it takes days per flight
- You need outputs standardized in web-ready formats (COG, MBTiles)
- Your client waits days for results that could ship the same day as the flight
How we execute
- 1
Analyze current flights, required outputs, and quality standards

- 3
Test on real flights and tune acceptance criteria
- 4
Deploy to the cloud with a monitoring dashboard and team training
What we need from you
- Sample raw imagery
- Required outputs + accuracy
- Expected monthly flight volume
What you receive

- CLI for local processing
- Monitoring dashboard
Frequently asked
How much does a drone-data pipeline cost?+
It depends on scope: the number of outputs required (orthomosaic only, or DTM, contours, and 3D points as well), monthly flight volume, and the runtime environment (cloud or private servers). Typical projects fit in the 4–8 week range. We start with a free audit of a real flight from your data, then send a detailed quote; the final price depends on scope.
Does the pipeline work with our current tools?+
Yes — we build on open-source OpenDroneMap or integrate with your licensed Pix4D, and deliver outputs in standard formats (COG, MBTiles, GeoPackage) readable directly in QGIS, ArcGIS, and any web viewer — so you are never locked into a closed tool.
Who operates the pipeline after delivery?+
Your team — that is the point. We deliver a monitoring dashboard, a simple CLI, and hands-on training, plus a post-launch support window. For those who prefer managed operations we offer a monthly run-and-monitor contract.
Does it require the cloud, or can it run on our own servers?+
Either — the pipeline is containerized with Docker and runs on AWS/Azure or on an in-house server with a suitable GPU. Photogrammetric processing benefits from a strong GPU, and we define the minimum specs after measuring your typical flights during discovery.

Our guarantees to you
We take the risk off your project — so you can commit with confidence.
Accuracy guarantee
If a deliverable misses the agreed accuracy spec, we re-survey and correct it at no extra cost.
On-time commitment
We agree the delivery schedule up front and keep you updated at every stage until it's met.
Full confidentiality
Every engagement is covered by an NDA. Your data and drawings are never shared.
You own the files
You receive the editable source files (DWG, DXF and more) — full ownership, no lock-in.
