Our work
- Recording of golf and sports facility with a flying robot (drone)
- Virtual fly-over of the entire course incl. gastronomy, driving range and golf academy
- Tee-to-Green Fly-over for every course
- Data storage in a cloud-based data portal
Digital aerial photography as a basis
Orthophotos, 3D models, multispectral and thermal images are the basis for all new construction, renovation, maintenance and servicing projects.
Models, maps and photos are available to all participants in the cloud. This makes communication with management and employees much easier.
Making the hidden visible and identifying the connections. With this knowledge, the consumption of water, fertilizers and pesticides can be decisively reduced in times of climate change.
Sensors
With specialized cameras things become visible that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
Multi-spectral cameras
measure visible and invisible light. Areas where lawns and other plants suffer from stress
can be made visible with vegetation indices such as NDVI or NDRE.
Thermal cameras
provide information about heat distribution on the ground or on roofs and other building
structures. Among other things, zones with increased evapotranspiration can be determined.
RGB cameras
provide images with which 3D terrain models (DSM, DTM) can be created using photogrammetry.
Services
The operation and maintenance of golf courses and sports grounds is changing rapidly
with the use of drones. With the help of aerial photos you can see facilities
from a bird's eye view and undetected patterns suddenly become visible. We
photograph the facilities, virtualize them, create up-to-date plans, measure the
entire golf course and sports ground, and make the invisible - visible. This new
technology is radically changing the way that a facility is maintained and
presented. Managers, greenkeepers and groundskeepers will always have the most up to
date site data and not have to rely on old out of date plans. Professional marketing
plays an extremely important role in the growth and development of professionally
operated golf and sports facilities. Fly-over videos (e.g. on websites) can be used
to advertise the facilities from a completely different perspective.
Your benefits
- Independence from plans – know what is, not what was planned in the past.
- Always up to date with the possibility to plan ahead of time.
- Use of aerial photographs with a very high resolution, and with 100% accuracy of visible objects.
- Orthophotos offer an excellent overview as poster, PDF, on the web/cloud:
- For internal and external communication
- For a golf course guide and score card
- For planning
- For operation and maintenance
- For visualization of elevation or terrain models
- 3D views of the golf course or sports ground (Digital Elevation Maps - DEM)
- For planning and renovation
- Volume calculations (cut and fill)
- Identifying erosion and flood prone areas at a glance
- 3D models:
- Perfect visualization locally on the PC or in the web/cloud
- Professional means of communication with investors, management and customers
- For contemporary marketing (virtual tee-to-green Fly-over, on the web for members and guests)
- Advertising on local television

Vegetation Indices
Since there have been satellites man has tried to determine where on earth vegetation is present
and where it is not, where it is sick and where it is healthy. The NDVI index, for example,
provides
information about this and much more. Flying robots equipped with multi-spectral cameras can
obtain
detailed information on much smaller zones than satellites can.
- NDVI
-
Applications
- Plant Vigour
- Differences in soil water availability (in topsoil)
- Foliaire nutrient content (when water is not the limiting factor)
- Yield potential
- Percent of coverage
- NDRE
-
Applications
- Leaf chlorophyll content
- Plant vigour
- Stress detection
- Fertilizer demand
- Nitrogen uptake
- OSAVI
-
Applications
- Differentiate soil pixels
- Related to LAI (leaf area index, ground coverage) at some levels where NDVI saturates
- Accounts for non-linear interactions of light between soil and vegetation
- Used as a structural index for chlorophyll detection
- Chlorophyll
-
Applications
- Detect chlorotic crops
- Plant stress detection
- Identify vigorous, healthy crops
- Estimate chlorophyll content Estimate N content (if you know that N is the limiting factor)
- CIR
-
Applications
- Assessing plant health
- Identify water bodies
- Variability in soil moisture
- Assessing soil composition
