AirWorks Automate

AirWorks Automate™

Extracting value from your remote sensing data has never been easier. All you need to do is upload your 2D or 3D remote sensing data into AirWorks Automate™, our software will then extract features from 14+ layers and deliver a survey-grade planimetric/topographic basemap that has been reviewed by our QC engineers to ensure accuracy.

Our platform is designed to augment and enhance the process of creating survey-grade planimetric/topographic basemaps. Uploaded data sets return pixel-accurate CAD files in record time to speed delivery and save manual hours.

Our Process Explained

It starts with your remote sensing data. After the data collection and preparation stage, you simply log into our cloud-based platform and create a new project.

*If you don’t have data available, contact us for available sources as we may be able to help with that.

Upload your project data

We accept remote sensing data (2D/3D) that has been collected with drones, manned aircraft, satellites, or laser scanning. For us to provide a deliverable, you’d need to upload: orthomosaic and/or pointcloud files.

File Formats Accepted:

.tif .las/.laz .kml

Let our AI do the work for you

The data that you upload is processed by our algorithms and models, enabling our software to quickly convert points and pixels into linework and topography. This is also where our QC team reviews the autonomous output for accuracy.

AirWorks’ delivery times are best in class, fastest in the industry.

View and download planimetric/topographic basemaps

Once processing and QC are complete, files will be viewable and downloadable in our cloud-based platform. For all client projects, we currently deliver an open source CAD format (.dxf), as well as a classified point cloud (.las) if 3D work was done.

Additional File Formats Offered:

.geojson .dwg .dgn .shp .landxml

Get Accurate Results, Every Time.

We understand how important precision is in AEC projects. That’s why we prioritize measuring the accuracy of our models to ensure that everything we deliver is up to industry standards. On top of that, our team continuously improves our model through training data and testing, because we understand that a well-trained model is a better performing one.

FAQ

Expand All ▼

What types of aerial data does AirWorks work with?

We ask that clients upload georeferenced orthophotos (.tif), point cloud files (.las/.laz) and a processing area for project processing (.kml). For 2D only work, orthophotos will be sufficient.

Does AirWorks only work for drone images?

No! While we have found that the most common type of data we receive is from UAVs/UASs, we are also able to process aerial images collected with manned aircraft and even satellites in some cases. We also accept LiDAR data/point clouds in cases where 3D work is needed.

The most important thing to remember is that the higher altitude the data was collected at, the lower resolution and detail the images will have. So, we can work with it, but might not be able to guarantee our usual level of accuracy.

What type of file will AirWorks give me once my project is complete?

We deliver projects in an open source, CAD-compatible format (.dxf). You can then use your CAD software of choice to view and make edits to your project. For 3D projects, we also deliver a classified point cloud (.las) along with the CAD drawing.

How can I trust that the deliverable I get from AirWorks is precise?

We do everything possible to make sure that the files we deliver to clients are precise, and they will always be verified by our team of civil engineers and CAD drafters. That being said, we are not certified land surveyors and cannot take legal responsibility for deliverables that are not verified by a certified professional within your company. The biggest factor affecting accuracy is the quality of the input dataset that we are given, which is why a foundation of good data collection is the key to being successful when using AirWorks.

How fast is it really?

Every project is different, and we try to deliver as fast as possible, but given the variability in projects and time it takes for our team to review and ensure the quality is up to standard, we typically deliver projects in 4-5 business days.

Here is a breakdown of how we calculate the estimated delivery date: https://awkb.scrollhelp.site/airworksknowledgebase/Estimated-Delivery-Date.2351923212.html.

What types of projects can I upload to your platform? What industries do you serve?

Any type of engineering/land surveying project where you have collected aerial imagery and need feature extraction works for us. We currently only do work above ground, which includes: ALTA surveys, land development, corridor/transportation/highway work, as-builts, and many more. We serve clients within the AEC industry: civil engineering (top 100 ENR firms), land surveying firms, drone service providers, state DoTs, architecture firms, land developers, real estate, and many more.

Does your tech really work? Are you outsourcing your drafting and telling us it’s AI?

It’s not magic, it really works! We have a patented model for point identification and categorization, a team of machine learning experts and civil engineers working on labeling and training even more data to further improve the results of our autonomous outputs. We have established human in the loop processes that are very common in all AI companies to ensure accuracy. Every client project is run through our software for processing, and then reviewed and cleaned up by our small team of CAD drafters in-house in Boston.
