Cherokee Imaging
THE central states premier unmanned aerial acquisition and mapping data provider
Cherokee Imaging provides 2D & 3D modeling of design projects and energy delivery management programs (powerlines, pipelines, etc). We utilize state-of-the-art industrial-grade Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) acquisition and GNSS systems to acquire high-density geo-referenced surface data. Our focus is to augment survey & engineering firms’ field collections with high fidelity data to meet your project requirements. Be it ALTA/NSPS Table A items, topos/DTMs, volumes, power corridors, or a myriad of others, we’ll get you the data you need - meeting project specs, in the format of your choosing, and correct the first time.
-
Unmanned systems can acquire 500+ acres/day vs. ~5 acres/day with traditional ground acquisition.
-
High density data, full-site capture and substantial acquisition cost savings
-
Data deliverables in days vs weeks/months
-
XYZ +/- 3cm, 0.5cm IMU position accuracy. RMSE values verified using surveyed Ground Control Points/checkshots
-
Compliant to ASPRS and/or USGS Base LiDAR Spec
-
LiDAR is highly effective at penetrating vegetation and forest canopies vs imagery-only acquisition
-
Eliminates risk of subjecting personnel to hazardous terrain and high-traffic areas. Less time and footprint on site - task your resources to other priorities!
-
Deliverable formats ready for import into common design applications (AutoCad, ESRI, Bentley Systems, PLS-CADD, etc).
Bottom line
we'll get you the data you need accurately, quickly, and within budget!
