Photogrammetry uses overlapping images taken from different angles to reconstruct 3D models or maps of landscapes, buildings, or objects. Images are processed with the use of specialized computer software to create detailed orthophotos, elevation models, contour maps and 3D models. Engineers and Project Management firms use these maps to perform measurements of area, segmented line distances, slope angles, utility right-of-ray boundaries and many other functions. Photogrammetry is widely used in topographic mapping, urban planning and infrastructure and disaster response.

We currently have 2-DJI M300, 3-DJI M350, 1-DJI M30T and 1-Dji Matrice 4T quadcopters.  For projects larger than 150 acres, we have a Quantum Systems Trinity Pro fixed wing Vertical Takeoff and Landing aircraft.  This fleet of aircraft allows us to use the best equipment for each individual project with the ability to use the best aircraft for your project.

Hover Visions currently uses EO/IR sensors for use in image data capture, industrial inspections, commercial roofing inspections and assistance to local fire, police and emergency organizations. We own and operate 3-LiDAR sensors for accurate, survey grade, mapping services.  Additionally, we own and operate 1-Methane Detection sensor for use in methane mapping of natural gas pipelines and distribution facilities as well as for landfill methane detection and mapping.  For photogrammetry purposes, we operate 5 separate RGB (photo) sensors ranging from 20 megapixel to 61 megapixel in resolution.

Projects flown are processed on a company desktop system connected to a VPN.  Any and all images, maps, files or written information about a project are uploaded into our cloud service and a link is supplied to the client.  This service is protected with a 256-bit, 2-Step Authentication encrypted system to ensure the best data security. Unlike Google, Facebook, Meta, Amazon, Instagram, etc., you do not have to sign in to anything, take time out of your day to pick and choose which data you wish to protect.  We are not interested in skimming data from you or about you.  It is your data, and you can share it with anyone you wish.

Each service we provide has its own pricing structure based on client wishes. Size of the project, the relative difficulty of the project, which types of sensors are needed to perform the work properly, deployment of personnel to the work site and post-processing work performed after capturing the images necessary to complete the job correctly, are a few of the factors that go into our pricing schedule.  Too many times, we see companies give pricing based on a per hour rate, however, these published rates do not explain how many hours it takes to complete the project at hand. This is the reason we are more than happy for you to contact us about a potential project, for a no cost, no obligation price quote. We will ask for specific information about your project, do an on-site inspection and provide a pricing quote that will be an all-inclusive quote and no hidden costs.
