WELCOME TO

DIGITAL FAUNA

Our goal is to enable our clients to better understand and manage the environment with our cutting edge digital mapping and survey services.  We can offer aerial and ground based digital data capture for use in 2D/3D modelling, GIS mapping, thermal wildlife monitoring and much more.

Please see our services and pricing pages for more information, or contact us for a no obligation discussion on how we can help your organisation.

HOW IT

WORKS

We offer all our clients a free consultation before engaging in any project.  This includes a desktop survey of the legality and feasibility of any flights or works on location as well as an estimate or quote of costs.

Following any engagement, we will visit a site and perform a full site survey and risk assessment prior to carrying out the work.

Work will be undertaken by our fully CAA licensed and insured team, carefully and sensitively to meet our clients needs.

Captured data will be taken back to our offices to be processed and prepared ready for sharing with our clients.

SERVICES

WE OFFER

We believe that the insight and knowledge gained from our processing and treatment of the data we capture is the real value we bring to our clients.  Its with this mindset that we are able to approach any project or client challenge, after all, everything is simply data to be collected and analysed.  We will happily seek out and productise new collection methods to suit each customers need.  Listed here are some of the most typical services we can offer our clients.

Aerial Photography and Videography

Our fully CAA licensed and insured expert remote pilots will work with our clients to capture those perfect shots for both TV and Film.  We have a range of different air frames and cameras, suited to many different filming styles (high-speed chase scenes, wide angle shots, focus pulls etc).  We will work with Producers and Directors to understand the legal aspects of the location shoot, and help guide them from their creative vision to a well executed sequence of shots ready for the edit room.

Digital Survey and Mapping

Perhaps one of the most powerful applications for aerial drone technology, we offer both 2D and 3D mapping services, including full post-processing support and GIS integration.

We can fully 2D or 3D map an area in glorious 4K ultra-HD resolution, using overlapping tiles of photographs to produce digital maps far surpassing those available from satellite imagery today.  We can overlay onto any survey results and export a fully ortho-rectified data set into GIS where it can be readily consumed by our clients own staff or customers.

Using a process of photogrammetry, we can produce texture mapped 3D models of a site in both point-cloud or mesh formats ready for export to the web for visualisation, or to be further digitally processed or even printed.

3D Mapping and Printing

Our 3D digital mapping and modelling service can help our clients discuss planned works to a site or asses its progress over time, being able to be shared remotely without the need to revisit the site for inspection.

In addition to a digital model, many clients now benefit from our 3D printed models of survey data, and we can produce some stunning models in a variety of materials and sizes from palm sized, to table top models, in plastic or cold-cast bronze!  These are perfect for aiding a team discussion of site management and provide a focal point for reference.

Wildlife Photography and Surveys

Using a mixture of traditional ground based tracking skills and the latest in thermal and visual drone technology we offer services to asses and digitally capture the wildlife present within a given habitat.  Particularly useful to environmental planning clients as well as conservation specialists with large areas of habitat to manage, we will help establish what species are present in an area with supporting evidence.  Typically this might involve an initial visual or thermal drone survey to pin-point areas of activity, followed up by either a network of wildlife trail cameras and/or on-foot wildlife photography and tracking skills.

Thermal Imaging

We can offer thermal wildlife or infrastructure surveys using the latest and highest resolution thermal cameras from FLIR Inc.  As well as providing radiometric temperature data for infrastructure monitoring and heat-loss reporting, we are able to track and count many wildlife species including mammals and birds.

In fact we specialise in deer, badger, hare and grouse surveys for large estates and conservation bodies.  Our DJI Inspire series drones, carrying a Zenmuse XT thermal camera can detect a hare, badger or deer from over 500 meters away at 120 meters above ground, allowing us to move in closer for species identification.

PRICING

We offer a standard pricing structure to help our clients cost small to medium projects.  However for larger projects or long-duration projects we are happy to discuss bespoke pricing.  Please contact us and we’ll be happy discuss any requirement.
