VIRTUAL SURVEYOR

Survey with drones with Virtual Surveyor

From drone to CAD in a few clicks

Using drones represents a big difference in the type of data used traditionally by surveyors. Virtual Surveyor incorporates traditional methods and deliverables to provide an intuitive experience for surveyors with little or no drone expereince.

Virtual Surveyor works with point clouds, orthophotos and elevation models generated by drones to create deliverables traditionally created by surveyors.

Combine data from drones, field work and CAD

Sometimes drone data is the only data source you need. Often, it is not. Add data from your field instruments (GPS or total station) to capture topographic features that cannot be observed from drones. Import civil designs from CAD and compare them with your drone data.

Orthophotos

Point Clouds to DSM

Field Surveys

Digital Surface Models

Point Clouds to Ortho

DXF/LandXML files

Features

Virtual Surveyor contains a large array of features, ensuring the surveyor can get the results they need.

Survey Tools

Points with elevations and annotations

Polylines and boundaries

Semi-automated breaklines

Regular point grids e.g. spot heights

Automatic contour and TIN generation

Import field measurements to assess the accuracy of the drone data

Volume Tools

Stockpile and basin fill volumes

Volume annotations and export

Cut and fill analysis

Export cut and fill maps and create reports

Remove ground equipment from volume calculation

Other Tools

Compare terrain over time or to the design with the profile tool

Clip and stitch together orthophotos

Flatten water bodies or other areas to a reference plane

Simulate water flow direction and create a water surface

Teamwork

Collaborate on projects using the seamless integrated Dropbox tool

Save a project to the shared drive allowing access to colleagues

Access projects from anywhere

All updates are added to the single project ensuring everyone is seeing the most up to date version

If two people have the project open at the same time, one will be in read-only mode while the other makes edits.

What we offer

The Virtual Surveyor software can be purchased with various subscription types and versions with different levels of features. We also offer the software as part of a package with our recommended drone and software solutions, providing you with the complete surveying solution. Browse our products and packages below!

We at Epotronic also offer surveying services. We can perform a drone flight for your project and process the data using Virtual Surveyor to create the deliverables you need. We can share the data with you using the integrated Dropbox tool, allowing you to see changes almost immediately, with the free Valley version from Virtual Surveyor. With this version you can also draw your own points and lines and export to CAD.

We are flexible to meet your desires. We can also loan our drones allowing you to perform the flight yourself, or using your own drones, and we can then help process the data. Find out more on our Services page.
