Come for the drones, stay for the data

Helping geospatial teams capture, process, and extract insights from the physical world

Who we are

Databird is your full service drone technology partner from project planning, throughout data acquisition, processing, and final deliverables.

We obsess over each drone flight, laser pulse, and pixel so your team can have the data it needs to build with confidence.

Services

From full service solutions, to specialized assistance or training. Our range of services provide your team the support they need across any stage of your project.

Operating Principles

Fast

By using cutting edge technology, semi automated systems, and always keeping a person in the loop. We are able to go from notice to proceed (NTP) to data delivered to you in days or weeks.

Accurate

Using our experience, proven workflows, and robust QA/QC process. You can be sure that your data will be accurate and precise.

Reliable

We put a heavy emphasis on safety and consistency starting with how we train our pilots and field crew, how we maintain and service our equipment, and we plan and execute the project.

Deliverables

We transform raw aerial data into precise deliverables — from mapping to advanced analytics — giving you the tools to plan, measure, and make confident decisions.

Georeferenced Orthomosaic

High-resolution, true-to-scale aerial imagery stitched together and precisely georeferenced for mapping, planning, and analysis.

Classified Point Cloud

Dense 3D point cloud data automatically classified into categories (ground, vegetation, buildings, etc.) to support accurate modeling and measurements.

Digital Elevation Model (DEM)

Surface representations that capture terrain variations with precision, enabling accurate volume calculations, hydrology modeling, and site planning.

Stockpile Reports

Accurate volume measurements for stockpiles, materials, and inventory management — reducing guesswork and improving operational efficiency.

Cut/Fill Calculations

Precise earthwork analysis showing where material needs to be removed or added, helping you plan grading, excavation, and construction with confidence.

Advanced Point Cloud Processing

Accurate volume measurements for stockpiles, materials, and inventory management — reducing guesswork and improving operational efficiency.

Planimetrics

Digitized vector data of site features such as curbs, edges, utilities, and structures, supporting engineering and design workflows.

Surface TIN / Contours

Triangulated irregular networks (TINs) and contour lines derived from LiDAR or photogrammetry data to provide detailed terrain models for planning and design.
