UAV Ground Control Points (GCPs)/Aerial Targets for Aerial Mapping & Surveying (10 Pack) with Center Eyelet Numbered 0-9

Description

The Sky High Bull’s-Eye Ground Control Points (GCPs) were designed with the drone pilot in mind. With this 10 pack of aerial targets, each target is numbered 0-9 to allow for easy identification both in the field and during processing. In addition, the aerial targets can be expanded past 0-9 for larger mapping missions by adding custom numbering to the other square, enabling numbering from 0-99 with ease. With a unique center eyelet design, the center of the aerial target is easy to locate with a survey rod. The eyelet can also be used to position the target directly above a survey nail for improved ground control accuracy. By using a center eyelet in the center of the GCP, these survey targets will last longer without tearing. Measuring 24”x24″, the size of these GCPs enables easy transport and storage of the GCPs. The standardized size can also be used as a scale during post-processing. With 4 tie-down points, the GCP is easy to keep in position, even on the windiest days. The mesh material keeps the aerial targets lightweight but also durable enough for any mapping mission.
24”x24” AERIAL TARGETS – Designed for low to medium altitude drone mapping and scanning, these drone GCPs were made for drone mapping up to 400 feet. The standard size is useful when scaling and verifying the map, providing a standard reference distance during post-processing.
DRONE GCP WITH CENTER EYELET – Use the center eyelet to position the survey rod directly in the center of the aerial target, improving efficiency while also protecting the mesh GCPs from ripping on the sharp survey rod. For workflows where the ground control has already been established, the center eyelet can be used to position the aerial target directly above the survey nail or other indicator for improved accuracy.
LIGHTWEIGHT & DURABLE AERIAL TARGETS – Using a weatherproof mesh material, these GCPs were made to be highly visible yet lightweight, a big benefit when traveling or placing the GCPs in the field. The material is made with a matte finish which reduces glare from sunlight and overexposure on sunny days, which makes selecting the center of the target easier during post-processing.
GCP WITH SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY – These GCPs are compatible with many popular photogrammetry reconstruction software from the leading companies in the space drone mapping, photogrammetry, and surveying space. The GCPs are compatible with most auto-detection software, and these GCPs have been used in a wide range of industries and educational training programs with great success.
UAV GCP WITH CORNER ANCHOR POINTS – With eyelets at each corner to easily anchor the aerial targets, the corner anchor points prevent the GCPs from moving during mapping. The anchors also allow the GCPs to be left in the field if needed for repeat flights over a period of time, providing peace of mind that the GCPs offer repeatable location data for high-accuracy mapping and photogrammetry.
NUMBERED GCPS FOR EASY IDENTIFICATION – By numbering each GCP 0-9, this 10 pack allows for easy identification of the aerial targets in the field and during processing. Additionally, users can add their own numbers to expand the numbering system to range from 0-99 for larger mapping projects. In most cases, adding numbers will not adversely affect the auto-identification capability of most software systems.
UAV GCP WITH CORNER ANCHOR POINTS – With eyelets at each corner to easily anchor the aerial targets, the corner anchor points prevent the GCPs from moving during mapping. The anchors also allow the GCPs to be left in the field if needed for repeat flights over a period of time, providing peace of mind that the aerial targets offer repeatable location data for high-accuracy mapping and photogrammetry.
WEATHER RESISTANT – Made of mesh material, these drone GCPs dry quickly from morning dew or rain, creating a high-quality dataset without issues. The mesh design also allows snow to melt through the target rather than collecting water, which is beneficial in cold climates.
ECONOMICAL AERIAL TARGETS – Have you ever calculated the actual cost of making your own GCPs, including the labor and material costs of creating an aerial target? In most cases, our targets are both superior in design and more economical than creating DIY GCPs.
DRONE GCPS VISIBLE AT 400 FEET – These aerial targets are easily identifiable at up to 400 feet with any modern drone mapping solution. These GCPs have been used with a wide range of drone and UAV systems from a variety of manufacturers across the aerial surveying industry. These UAV GCPs have been used in a wide range of industries and educational training programs including surveying, construction, and scene reconstruction.
