State Office for Geoinformation and Surveying (LGV)

Drone flights for surveying purposes

The unmanned aerial vehicles are equipped with various sensors, such as cameras, and take photos and videos from the air. This makes surveying possible even in hard-to-reach places.

Detailed description

Using the State Office for Geoinformation and Surveying (LGV)'s own unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, we collect data for you quickly and securely.


Our unmanned aerial vehicles are equipped with various cameras and take photos and videos from the air.


Using photogrammetry, we can also carry out surveys using these images.


The creation of digital terrain and surface models (DTM and DOM) and high-resolution orthophotos (DOP) is possible with our multicopter even in difficult-to-access terrain.



We can create the following products:

  • High-resolution orthophotos
  • 3D models
    • 3D point clouds (e.g. as LAS, OBJ, PLY)
    • 3D mesh (e.g. as OBJ, 3DS, COLLADA)
  • Digital surface models (DOM)
  • Area and volume calculations (e.g. for dumps and landfills)
  • Inventory plans or site plans (also according to the Hamburg Standardization Catalogue (HNK))
  • Aerial photos and videos
  • 360° panoramas

We're constantly expanding our product portfolio. Feel free to contact us with your project ideas.
