Ground Control Points for Drone Mapping
A simple solution to improve drone data accuracy.
Easy enough for beginners, precise enough for experts
AeroPoints™ are high-precision, smart ground control points, thoughtfully designed for drone beginners, but precise enough for survey veterans. Forget hours with bases and rovers, just lay out your AeroPoints and let them do the work.
Use AeroPoints anywhere and with any coordinate system
Forget complex surveying equipment and prevent human error with these durable, lightweight ground control points.
One-button operation means you don’t need to be a GPS expert to use them. Just lay them out, and they’ll do their job.
AeroPoints upload their ground control data wirelessly to your user portal from whenever you are. Never worry about processing your own data again.
A dedicated AeroPoints app delivers real-time diagnostics about your ground control hardware and makes configuration setup a breeze.
How AeroPoints work
Each AeroPoint includes a solar panel and plug-in charger, battery, GPS, and Wi-Fi inside a fully-sealed, lightweight shell. The real value of AeroPoints comes from their flexibility—use them for ground control, checkpoints, or even as a base station.
There’s no more need for awkward and expensive survey gear. You can show up on site, quickly disperse the AeroPoints, and then fly.
Calibrate your AeroPoints with a permanent survey mark, including State Marks, by placing an AeroPoint over it and uploading the mark’s position with your data.
Ensure your drone data has the same reference point as your other data by importing a RINEX file with your AeroPoints. Great for construction sites with machine control.
Align drone data with machine control, design, and other site data by uploading your Trimble or Topcon calibration file to calibrate AeroPoints with your local grid coordinates.
