Orthomosaics, point clouds, and 3D models turn drone imagery into detailed spatial data. An orthomosaic corrects images for terrain, creating a map-like composite. Point clouds capture millions of 3D points, while 3D models build solid shapes from them. Surveyors and planners use these outputs for measuring, analysis, and visualization.
