Mapping with Drones
Background: Earth Forensics uses drones to obtain high resolution low altitude aerial and thermal infrared photography. The aerial photography is used to produce accurate high-resolution topographic maps and 3D photorealistic models. UAVs allow for the acquisition of data in remote or hazardous areas that are difficult to reach. This expedites the data acquisition needed for a particular project.
Our team is currently using the following drones for our projects: DJI Matrice 210, DJI Phantom 4 pro and DJI spark.
Most recent, Earth Forensics has used the drones to create maps to help monitor changes over time on a certain site. Here are some examples of current projects:
- Mount Aragats (Armenia)- High-resolution topographic mapping of potential archeological investigation
- Interstate-5 (I-5): Documentation of environmental excavations along the I-5.
- Norwalk, CA: Monitoring of environmental excavations and stockpiles.
- Malibu, CA: Progress monitoring of a landslide repair.
- Malibu, CA: Progress monitoring of a residential development site in Malibu, CA.
- Malibu, CA: Monitoring of construction activity at the Malibu Wastewater Treatment Plant.
- Terminal Island, CA: Monitoring of environmental excavations.

Earth Forensics uses the high resolution images captured by the drones to show:
- Landslides and slope stability documentation
- Commercial, industrial and residential site reconnaissance
- Environmental photography
- Detention basin monitoring
- Contamination
- Fault delineation and mapping
- Volumetric calculations
- 3D models
