KLM Spatial can assist throughout the entire aerial mapping processes which comprises of:
1. Planning: An initial consultation with one of our in house experts will determine if an Aerial Survey is appropriate and the best solution for your project.

2. Field Survey:
• Ground Control: Utilizing the latest GNSS/GPS technology our surveyors will place ground control marks on either your local site datum or Australian Height Datum (AHD) and Map Grid Australia (MGA). This is a critical step in insuring the highest possible accuracies are achieved.
3. Data Capture: Utilizing a UAV suitable for your sites conditions, the data will be captured at the appropriate altitude to insure that the required accuracies are achieved.

4. Post Processing: The pilot who flew your project will process the data utilizing appropriate software package. Typical output data will consist of:
• Rectified Ortho Aerial Photo in .tif format. KLM Spatial can issue other formats at request.
• 3D triangle file of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) cleaned to suit the intended purpose in AutoCAD format.
