A platform to enable large scale mapping with drones. We use AI/ML and legacy geospatial approaches to streamline the process from data sorting of images, reconstruction into maps, and extracting geospatial analytics from it. We believe that the map is just the raw material, we empower decision makers with robust geospatial insights.
Mapping with a Purpose
Problem: a dearth of localised geospatial data
Comparison with Satellite Map
Solution: Drone-based Mapping and analytics
Requirement: Faster, Cheaper, easy to share, easy to interpret localised geospatial information that supports repeated mapping and monitoring
10x resolution > satellites
50% time > status quo
20% cost > status quo
Accessible > LIDAR

Geospatial Intelligence Competitive Landscape
Mapping with data collected through UAVs
Our Niche ( DronaMaps)
Scalable image procurement+Mapping+Automated GIS analysis+delivery in customised sharable formats
Satellite
Accessibility
Granularity
LIDAR
Not dynamic or granular.
Needs GIS team for interpretation
Dynamic with cheap repeated mapping but needs a GIS team to ensure accuracy.
Dense and heavy. Hard to deploy repeatedly and access. Needs dedicated GIS team.

What you learn?
Field Intelligence: Spot problem areas with NDVI, VARI, and other indices.
Plant Count: Determine stand count
Plant Health Monitor: Diagnose, assess, prevent, and correct the overall status quo and damage to the crops throughout the cropping season. We detect and prevent plant stress and damage from biotic and abiotic factors.
Field Management: Intuitive tools and layers to monitor crops.
