DRONE DIVISION
Drone Surveying & Mapping
Cybotix builds and operates purpose-configured survey drones for high-accuracy aerial mapping across New Zealand — LiDAR, photogrammetry and orthomosaic capture processed into survey-ready deliverables. Because the hardware and software are engineered in-house, the platform is matched to your accuracy, corridor length and terrain.
- Survey-grade LiDAR & photogrammetry
- PPK / RTK georeferencing
- Point clouds, DEMs & orthomosaics
- CAD & GIS-ready deliverables
- Custom-built survey platforms
What we deliver
LiDAR Surveying
Survey-grade LiDAR payloads for canopy penetration, corridor and terrain modelling — dense classified point clouds and bare-earth DEMs.
Aerial Photogrammetry
High-overlap RGB capture producing orthomosaics, 3D meshes and contour maps with centimetre-level accuracy.
PPK / RTK Positioning
On-board RTK and post-processed kinematic workflows tie every capture to NZGD2000 or local datums without dense ground control.
Survey-Ready Deliverables
Point clouds (LAS/LAZ), DEM/DSM, orthomosaics, contours and volumetrics delivered in your CAD and GIS formats.
Why survey with Cybotix
Centimetre accuracy
PPK/RTK and ground control deliver survey-grade accuracy tied to New Zealand datums.
In-house platforms
Airframes and payloads built and tuned in-house for your corridor length, endurance and terrain.
Large-area capture
Long-corridor and wide-area surveys planned under a CAA Part 102 certification pathway.
Secure data handling
Encrypted links and controlled data handling — your survey data stays yours.
Applications
- Topographic survey
- Volumetric & stockpile measurement
- Corridor & powerline mapping
- Earthworks & site progress
- Coastal & erosion monitoring
- Forestry & vegetation
- Cadastral support
Frequently asked questions
With PPK/RTK positioning and ground control points, our surveys deliver centimetre-level accuracy referenced to NZGD2000 or your local datum.
Yes. We configure the right payload for the job — LiDAR for canopy penetration and bare-earth models, photogrammetry for high-resolution orthomosaics and 3D meshes.
Classified point clouds (LAS/LAZ), DEM/DSM, GeoTIFF orthomosaics, contours, volumetrics and 3D models in your CAD/GIS formats.
Yes — long-corridor and wide-area capture is supported under a CAA Part 102 certification pathway, with mission planning matched to the site.
