Affordable Drones for Land-Survey

Nibrus Technologies’ flagship products, Surveyaan V1 and Surveyaan GeoWorkspace, have propelled to a new milestone of 200 satisfied customers in the Indian drone market.

With a surveying drone, it is possible to carry out topographic surveys of the same quality as the highly accurate measurements collected by traditional methods, but in a fraction of the time. This substantially reduces the cost of a site survey and the workload of specialists in the field.

A drone survey refers to the use of a drone, or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), to capture aerial data with downward-facing sensors, such as RGB or multispectral cameras, and LIDAR payloads. During a drone survey with an RGB camera, the ground is photographed several times from different angles, and each image is tagged with coordinates.

Capturing topographic data with a drone is said to be five times faster than with land-based methods and requires less manpower.

One drone flight produces thousands of measurements, which can be represented in different formats (orthomosaic, point cloud, DTM, DSM, contour lines, etc). Each pixel of the produced map or point of the 3D model contains 3D geo-data.

An aerial surveying drone can take off and fly almost anywhere. You are no longer limited by unreachable areas, unsafe steep slopes or harsh terrain unsuitable for traditional measuring tools. You do not need to close down highways or train tracks. In fact, you can capture data during operation without an organizational overhead.

This being the case, it is a welcome news that the Surveyaan V1, India’s most cost-effective type-certified drone, paired with advanced cloud-based software, GeoWorkspace, offers unparalleled value for land surveying and consulting firms.

With a weight of just 1.99 kg, the V1 provides a seamless and efficient surveying experience, and the software ensures accurate CAD-compatible outputs.

Nibrus Technologies’ strategic pricing of under 5 lakhs has democratized access to advanced drone technology, making it affordable for businesses that previously found drone integration out of reach.

Nibrus Technologies has proudly announced a significant achievement in the Indian Drone Market; it claims to have reached a milestone of 200 customers.

Surveyaan’s innovative solutions, Surveyaan V1 and Surveyaan GeoWorkspace, have got attention due to their affordability and advanced technology, marking a new era in drone surveying.

Surveyaan V1’s high-performance surveying drone is specifically designed for land surveying and consulting firms. It is capable of covering up to 0.6 square kilometers in a single flight, weighing just 1.99 kg placing it in the micro-drone category, making it the most cost-effective type-certified drone in India.

Equipped with a high-resolution 23MP camera, along with precise and efficient data collection. With a top speed of 25 km/h and advanced features such as Return to Home and resume functionality, it offers a seamless experience even for users with limited drone experience.

Complementing the Surveyaan V1 is Surveyaan GeoWorkspace, a cloud-based photogrammetry software. This platform operates round the clock, processing raw data into valuable outputs like georeferenced orthomosaics, digital elevation models, dense point clouds, and detailed 3D models. It also generates CAD-compatible results, including contours, grid points, and longitudinal and cross sections. Users can easily access the web portal at app.surveyaan.com to upload and process their data without human intervention.

Together, these two innovations stand out for being the most economical drone and programming systems, enabling businesses to integrate drone technology into their operations for under 5 lakhs, compared to the typical range of 10–15 lakhs. This strategic pricing, coupled with five years of delivering high-quality results, has contributed to the rapid adoption of Surveyaan’s products across various surveying sectors.

Talking about Surveyaan’s ecosystem, Co-Founder and Director, Mr. Amit Raushan of Nirbus Technologies said,” We are extremely proud of this achievement. It is a testament to our hard work and commitment to delivering quality products to our customers. We recognize that drone technology is still in its early stages in India, and our support team is dedicated to providing our customers with the knowledge and guidance they need until they feel confident using the product.”

The recent type certification of Surveyaan V1 has boosted their sales, as drone technology is a growing industry in India and is adopting surveying fields in India, the number of Surveyaan users is expected to grow fourfold shortly.
