TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING SOLUTIONS
The gold standard for creating vector data from aerial imagery.
SETTING THE STANDARD IN TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING
Professional stereo collection remains the most accurate method for line mapping and topographic vector data collection, far more so than simply mapping from orthophoto. Measurements can be made with an accuracy of a few centimetres in height and position.
- Professional-grade aerial imaging cameras for superior picture quality.
- Ideal for complex, large-scale projects requiring precise data.
- Efficient data capture across challenging terrains and expansive coverage areas.
ACCURACY AND SCALE WITHOUT COMPROMISE
WGS maintains seven workstations for this task and is able to handle large or small projects with this capacity.
Topographic survey is simply the recording of coordinates and height data for a particular survey area. This data can be used to create spot height maps, contour maps, or more complex terrain models of the surveyed area.
Capture precise, detailed imagery across large areas without loss of quality.
Our team is strategically set up to ensure data is collected and processed as quickly and accurately as possible.
Professional-grade equipment ensures stable, high-quality output under various conditions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Topographic mapping involves creating detailed maps that show the contours, elevations, and natural or man-made features of a terrain. Aerial surveys use LiDAR, photogrammetry, or satellite imagery to collect data and generate these maps.
Topographic maps are essential for industries like:
Construction and infrastructure planning
Mining and quarrying
Environmental studies
Urban development
Agriculture and forestry management
Accuracy depends on the method used and ground control points (GCPs). Typically, vertical accuracy can range from ±5–10 cm, and horizontal accuracy from ±5–30 cm.
Topographic maps typically include:
Elevation contours
Terrain features like hills, valleys, and ridges
Natural elements such as rivers and vegetation
Infrastructure such as roads, buildings, and utilities.
Deliverables typically include:
Contour Maps: For terrain visualization.
Digital Elevation Models (DEM): In GeoTIFF or raster formats.
Shapefiles: For GIS applications.
3D Models: In formats like DXF or KMZ for integration into CAD or Google Earth.
