Image acquisition: nadir or oblique flight.
Typical input: aerial images acquired using a grid flight plan with high overlap.
Outputs quality/reliability: high.
Processing speed: slow.
Application examples: quarries, cadaster, etc.

Orthomosaic

DSM

3D Mesh

Point Cloud

3D Models
Generates a 3D model (point cloud, 3D textured mesh).
Image acquisition: oblique flight or terrestrial.
Typical input: any images with high overlap.
Outputs quality/reliability: high.
Processing speed: slow.
Application examples: 3D models of buildings, objects, ground imagery, indoor imagery, inspection, etc.

3D Mesh

Point Cloud

Ag Multispectral
Generates reflectance, index (such as NDVI), classification and application maps.
Image acquisition: nadir flight with a multispectral camera.
Typical input: images taken with a multispectral camera (Sequoia, Micasense RedEdge, Multispec 4C, etc).
