FOR DRONE MAPPING & PHOTOGRAMMETRY
More accurate maps from better-positioned photos.
AerialAlign corrects GPS position errors in your flight images before photogrammetry, helping your maps and measurements align more closely with the real world—without new hardware.

Coordinate error is how far the photos are from the real-world position as if it was surveyed. Less error here results in repeat scans lining up better, making it easier to spot differences.

Measure the difference
See how AerialAlign improves measurement accuracy.
Measurement error is how close drone flown scans of sites match real world measurements. Less error here means less wasted materials ordered and a more reliable final result.
