ABOUT THIS PROJECT

HIGH-PRECISION DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS

We conducted a detailed data collection and analysis project in Panama, covering five individual fincas and a total area of 500 hectares. Using drone and differential GPS technology, we acquired high-resolution aerial images, creating a precise mosaic of the landscape with a resolution of 5cm/pixel. This allowed for accurate land use mapping, differentiating between productive and unproductive areas with unparalleled precision compared to traditional satellite imagery.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Our services included the acquisition of aerial drone images, collection of ground control point data for precise orthorectification, creation of high-resolution mosaic images, digitalization and identification of land use, and area calculation. This high-precision mapping enabled a new level of accuracy in land use analysis, crucial for effective land management and planning. 

IMPACT AND BENEFITS

This project provided detailed, accurate land use maps, enhancing the ability to manage and plan land resources effectively. The high-resolution data facilitated better differentiation between various land uses, optimizing the identification of productive areas. Our advanced mapping techniques ensured that the client could make informed decisions based on the most precise data available.
