Aerial Mapping in Rhode Island

High-resolution orthomosaic maps, NDVI vegetation indexes, and prescription maps.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

How aerial mapping works

Aerial mapping produces high-resolution orthomosaic images stitched from hundreds of overlapping aerial photos. Operators generate NDVI vegetation index maps showing crop vigor variation, multispectral analysis for nutrient and chlorophyll content, elevation models revealing drainage patterns, and prescription maps that feed variable-rate application equipment. Mapping flights deliver data products in GeoTIFF, KML, and shapefile formats for integration with precision ag platforms.

Typical rate: $10–$35/acre

FAQ: aerial mapping in Rhode Island

A standard mapping flight produces an orthomosaic (georeferenced aerial image), NDVI vegetation index map, elevation model, and field boundary files. Advanced flights add multispectral analysis and prescription maps for variable-rate application equipment.

Drones equipped with RTK/PPK GPS achieve 1 to 3 cm horizontal accuracy and 2 to 5 cm vertical accuracy, sufficient for precision ag applications and field documentation. Standard mapping without RTK achieves 3 to 10 cm accuracy.

We don't currently have operators specialized in aerial mapping listed directly in Rhode Island. Many national operators cover multiple states β€” contact them for availability.
