◆ Reality Capture Platform

From drone data to
client-ready deliverables

Turn a single drone flight into an orthomosaic, elevation models, contours, and a 3D model you can measure and share — right in your browser. Upload raw photos and we build the map, or bring a finished export from DJI Terra, Pix4D, Metashape, or WebODM.

Photo-real 3D reconstruction of the SageBrush site: a timber-framed house under construction, a paved cul-de-sac, graded lot pads, a retention pond and tree canopy, viewed obliquely from the air

◆ Who it's for

Built for the teams that measure the ground

One upload, the deliverables your discipline actually uses — and the tools to work them without leaving the browser.

Why positioning is the whole job

A map that looks right and sits a metre and a half off the ground is not a measurement — it is a picture. The difference above is 50:1, and it decides whether a stakeout, a volume, or a lot boundary can be trusted.

We read the per-photo positions your images already carry and pass them through reconstruction, so the precision you flew is the precision you keep. Bring your own checkpoints and the platform will report how close it actually landed — measured, not asserted.

📐

Surveying & mapping

Orthomosaics, contours, and LAS point clouds your CAD and GIS already read — with checkpoints to verify accuracy against your own control.

🏗

Construction & earthwork

Measure stockpiles, run cut/fill against a design surface, and show progress across repeat flights on one timeline.

🔍

Inspection & assets

Orbit a photo-real 3D model and let AI Map Doctor flag defects — re-check a site without another visit.

🌿

Land & agriculture

Map acreage, measure areas, and inventory canopy from a single flight — exportable for reporting.

◆ How it works

Four stages, one upload

Every project moves through the same proven pipeline — the same engine that has already packaged real commercial project deliverables, now wrapped in a self-serve platform.

Four deliverable layers — orthomosaic, digital surface model, contours and point cloud — separated into a stack above the GFL site
One upload, four deliverables — the same GFL capture, separated into orthomosaic, DSM, contours and point cloud.

Ingest & Validate

Accepts DJI Terra, Pix4D, Metashape and WebODM exports — DJI Terra is our most-tested path — or raw flight photos, which we reconstruct for you. File-type and plan-limit checks run on upload; coordinate-reference validation runs before processing. See 547 raw photos reconstructed →

Processing Engine

The same QGIS/GDAL deliverables pipeline AeroLakeland has run on real commercial projects for months — not a new, unproven engine.

Automated QA

Tileset health checks and elevation cross-validation run on every job before anything reaches your portal — a real, repeatable QA pass, not a manual spot-check.

Deliverables Portal

◆ Security

Built with account isolation from day one.

🔒

Encrypted in transit

TLS on every connection. Files move via short-lived, presigned cloud-storage URLs — never through a shared endpoint.

Account-level isolation

Every project, file, and job is scoped to your account at the database level — enforced on every request, not just the UI.

Role-based access control

Owner, admin, and read-only members, enforced server-side on every request — and every project is scoped to your account, so one customer's data is never reachable from another's session.

Controlled sharing

Client share links are revocable and can expire by date or view count — never an open, permanent download link.

◆ Across flights

See what moved between two dates.

Fourteen days on a live residential site. Amber is material added, cyan is material removed — a graded pad, road base along the curve, a curb cut. The part that matters is what stayed grey: 68.6% of this tile did not move at all.

A comparison that lights up the whole site is not progress, it is a registration error. We measure that distinction and say so, rather than printing a volume the two flights cannot support.

◆ Deliverables

Every output, from one upload

Orthomosaics, 3D models, and elevation data — exported in formats that already work with the GIS and CAD tools your team uses.

One 167-metre square of a construction site shown four ways: the orthomosaic photograph, the digital surface model with tree canopy and rooftops standing out pale above the ground, the digital elevation model with those trees and buildings removed leaving bare earth, and contour lines over shaded relief
The same 167 × 167 m of ground, four ways — orthomosaic, DSM, DEM, contours. Both elevation panels share one colour scale, so the canopy and rooftops that glow in the DSM and disappear from the DEM are a real difference in the data.
Terrain surface coloured by cut and fill against a flat design grade, with the cut side in cyan and the fill side in amber

Elevation you can do arithmetic on

Set a design surface and the platform reports what has to come out and what has to go in, in cubic yards. It runs on the bare-earth DEM, not the surface model — a DSM counts the tree canopy as material to be moved, which is a wrong number rather than merely an ugly picture.

The same elevation data drives contours, stockpile volumes, and the checkpoint report that tells you how far off vertical actually is.

Orthomosaic maps

Georeferenced, high-resolution aerial maps — stitched from your raw photos or validated from your existing export.

3D models & point clouds

A textured 3D mesh and dense point cloud you can orbit in the browser — built by us from raw photos, or packaged from your export.

DSM / DEM / Contours

Surface and elevation models with contour line extraction for grading and drainage work.

GeoTIFF · KMZ/KML · LAS/LAZ

Export formats that open directly in QGIS, Google Earth, and most point-cloud viewers.

◆ AI Tools

AI that works your map after it's built

Finished maps are inspected automatically, and the tools to fix and mine them are a click away.

🩺

AI Map Doctor

Finished maps are scanned for defects — floating fragments, holes, seams — with a quality score. Mark what to remove and apply the repair in one click; your original is never modified, so any repair can be undone.

AI Mapping Expert

Ask questions about your own site — elevations, areas, changes between flights — and get answers grounded in your project's actual data.

◆ Pricing

Simple, per-project pricing

Pay as you go from $49 — and your first 150 photos are free — or subscribe for recurring work. Every plan starts with a 7-day trial of the entire platform, no credit card required. See full plan details →
