SurveyWhirrx is a turnkey photogrammetry-based drone survey system that enables a surveyor to fly their own surveys and receive a digital survey deliverable with ground verifiable accuracy of 1 - 1.5 cm on hard surfaces.
This enables you to achieve the same accuracy as traditional topographic surveys with better resolution, less interpolation and a superior aerial image deliverable.

Why Don't You Use LiDAR
Elon Musk on LiDAR
​
"In my view, it is a crutch...."
​
"You can absolutely be superhuman with just cameras"
We agree with Elon on LiDAR: many companies turn to it because cameras and navigation sensors lack sufficient accuracy—yet it adds significant cost to data collection.
​
SurveyWhirrx delivers higher accuracy than aerial LiDAR and matches ground mobile LiDAR—at a fraction of the price and with dramatically shorter post-processing time.
​
That said, we’re also prototyping an ultra-low-cost LiDAR solution to detect above-ground features such as power lines.

Before you leave the site you will check the collected data with our Field Check Software to ensure all data was captured and will process accurately. This enables you to re-fly an area if needed before you leave the survey site.
​
Once you arrive at the office you will upload all of the data from the SurveyWhirrx System to the Whirrx cloud and select your desired deliverable. Pricing to process is determined by size of the site flown and project type.
​
You receive your requested digital survey deliverable within 48-72 hours. We can expedite turn around for an additional fee.
