How accurate are your Tacoma photogrammetry deliverables?

Accuracy depends on site conditions and control requirements. RTK workflows generally improve absolute positioning in Tacoma projects, and ground control points can be integrated for tighter tolerances.

Tacoma Photogrammetry

Q: What do you need to start a Tacoma RTK photogrammetry project?

A Tacoma-area site address and boundary (KML/KMZ or GeoJSON if available), target deliverables (orthomosaic, contours, volumetrics, 3D model), and any control requirements. AeroFrohne can also propose a flight plan and accuracy approach based on your goals.

Q: What deliverables can I request?

Common deliverables include georeferenced orthomosaics, DSM/DTM surfaces, contours, stockpile/earthwork volumes, and measurable 3D models suitable for CAD/GIS environments.

AeroFrohne captures RTK accurate aerial imagery in Tacoma, Washington and across the South Sound, including Lakewood, Puyallup, Fife, Gig Harbor, University Place, and Federal Way. We convert it into measurable mapping deliverables like orthomosaics, surfaces, contours, and 3D models so teams can plan, measure, and communicate progress with confidence.

Orthomosaics & GIS ready exports georeferenced outputs for planning, documentation, and reporting.

Surfaces, contours & volumes DSM/DTM, contour lines, and stockpile/earthwork measurements.

Measurable 3D models deliverables suitable for CAD/GIS workflows and stakeholder communication.

Common Questions (Tacoma, WA)

What do you need to start a Tacoma RTK photogrammetry project?

A Tacoma area site address and boundary (KML/KMZ preferrred or GeoJSON if available), target deliverables (orthomosaic, contours, volumetrics, 3D model), plus any accuracy/control requirements. If needed, AeroFrohne can propose the flight plan and QA approach.

How accurate are Tacoma photogrammetry deliverables?

Accuracy depends on site conditions and control requirements. RTK workflows improve absolute positioning, and ground control points can be integrated for Tacoma projects requiring tighter tolerances.

What deliverables can I request?

Orthomosaics, DSM/DTM surfaces, TIF, glb, custom CRS, quality report, contour lines, stockpile/earthwork volumes, and measurable 3D models suitable for CAD/GIS workflows.

Who uses RTK photogrammetry in Tacoma?

AEC teams, industrial operators, developers, survey support teams, and public entities across Tacoma, Lakewood, Puyallup, Fife, Gig Harbor, University Place, Federal Way, and Pierce County use photogrammetry for documentation, planning, progress tracking, and surveing or engineering grade measurements depending on the scope of work.

How fast is turnaround in Tacoma?

Turnaround depends on site size and deliverable complexity. AeroFrohne scopes timelines upfront and can prioritize time sensitive mapping across Tacoma and the South Sound.
