On 5 March, DroneUA traditionally took part in the annual international scientific and practical conference GeoPoint 2026, held at the leading agricultural university NULES and dedicated to Land Surveyor Day. The company’s specialists shared successful projects in the fields of geodesy and land management, as well as their own expertise in the practical application of Pix4Dmatic software.
The event brought together representatives of the academic community, industry experts, and technology companies to discuss modern solutions in the fields of geodesy, land management, and geospatial technologies.
During the practical conference, Hlib Lisovyi, Head of GIS and Geodesy at DroneUA, presented comprehensive solutions for aerial surveying and photogrammetric data processing that are set to become an integral part of professional workflows in the near future.
In particular, the presentation focused on the practical capabilities of Pix4Dmatic software, a tool for high-performance photogrammetric processing of aerial data. The solution is designed to work with large image datasets captured by unmanned platforms and enables the rapid creation of orthomosaics, digital terrain models, dense point clouds, and high-precision 3D models used in geodesy, land management, and infrastructure project management.
The specialist paid particular attention to the technological features of Pix4Dmatic, which make it an effective tool for professional surveyors thanks to:
· optimised algorithms for processing large image datasets;
· the ability to integrate with RTK/PPK data;
· high georeferencing accuracy;
· rapid preparation of geospatial products for further use in CAD and GIS systems.
The use of a LiDAR sensor makes it possible to capture the geometry of an object or environment even in scenarios where traditional photogrammetry has limitations, such as conditions involving complex textures, uneven lighting, or a large number of similar surfaces.
Combined with the capabilities of Pix4Dmatic, such data can be used for more accurate scene reconstruction, improved image alignment, and the creation of high-quality 3D models.
An important element of the presentation was the demonstration of the Ukrainian-language interface of Pix4Dmatic, which opens up new opportunities for the implementation of modern photogrammetric tools in the professional activities of Ukrainian surveyors and in the educational process of specialised universities. The localisation of the software significantly simplifies the adoption of geospatial data processing technologies and increases the accessibility of these tools for new generations of engineers.
Special attention was paid to the new capabilities of unmanned solutions which, when combined with intelligent automated mission planning functions for 3D mapping, enable:
· significant optimisation of the geospatial data collection process;
· improved model accuracy;
· reduced fieldwork time.
Such tools open up new opportunities for surveyors and land managers in creating digital models of territories, infrastructure assets, and complex engineering environments.
Conference participants and guests also had the opportunity to explore all of the solutions first-hand in the exhibition area.
In addition, DroneUA specialists presented Hypershell exoskeleton technology, unique on the Ukrainian market, which enhances the physical capabilities of operators during fieldwork. The use of such systems can significantly improve the efficiency of surveyors in challenging terrain, reduce physical strain during extended site surveys, and facilitate the transportation of equipment.
The integration of exoskeletons into field processes demonstrates a new approach to organising engineering work, in which technology supports not only data processing but also the direct physical work of specialists in the field.
DroneUA thanks the organisers for the invitation and is pleased to share its expertise, successful case studies, and new technologies that continue to expand the company’s practical portfolio each year. The integration of the latest technologies is becoming the foundation for the development of modern scientific practice and is shaping new industry standards.
