HOW WE WORK

From flight planning to final deliverable

Every project moves through the same accountable workflow — planned, executed and quality-checked within one in-house team.

01

Understand

Define objectives, site conditions, accuracy needs and required outputs.

02

Plan

Flight planning, sensor selection, safety assessment and airspace verification.

03

Capture

Acquire RGB, thermal, LiDAR or other required data using the planned mission.

04

Process

Convert raw data into orthomosaics, models, measurements and inspection datasets.

05

Validate

Check coverage, accuracy, positioning and data completeness against requirements.

06

Deliver

Provide structured reports, maps and geospatial outputs your team can use.

TECHNICAL TRANSPARENCY

Accuracy you can defend

We explain methodology rather than claim "high accuracy." Every figure below is validated against independent, surveyed checkpoints held out of the processing loop.

RTK / PPK / GNSS

Real-time and post-processed kinematic positioning resolved against geodetic networks for centimeter-level flight telemetry.

GCPs & Checkpoints

Physical Ground Control Points and independent blind checkpoints tie every model to local datums and prove accuracy is not self-reported.

Point Density

Dense LiDAR and photogrammetric returns, classified into ground, vegetation, structure and noise before delivery.

Contour Intervals

Custom elevation contour lines at 0.1m, 0.5m and 1.0m intervals, matched to project tolerance.

Coordinate Systems

Outputs reprojected into the client-specified EPSG code, ready for direct import into QGIS, ArcGIS or AutoCAD Map 3D.

33 kV Transmission Line Tower Inspection

Challenge

Create a component-level condition record for a 33 kV line, with each finding tied to a tower, sub-component and GPS position.

Approach

Drone inspection of the towers, logging each finding by component, defect type, criticality, coordinates and thermal readings.

FAQ

Questions?
We've Got Answers

Everything you need to know about our drone inspection and aerial intelligence services.

Contact Support
How much does a drone survey cost in India?+

There is no single price, because cost depends on the project. The main factors are the area or length to be covered, terrain and site access, the sensor used (RGB, thermal or LiDAR), RTK/PPK and ground-control requirements, the deliverables you need, travel to site, and processing effort. Inspection projects also vary by asset type and count. Share your site, scope and required outputs and our engineers will send a scoped quote.

How accurate are drone surveys and inspections?+

Accuracy depends on the project specification, not on the drone alone. The main factors are the sensor, flight height and overlap, RTK/PPK positioning, ground control points and independent checkpoints, terrain and weather, and the processing method. We plan each mission to the accuracy you need, then validate coverage, positioning and data completeness before anything is delivered.

Are drone surveys legal in India, and what DGCA regulations apply?+

Yes, civil drone operations are permitted under India's Drone Rules, 2021. What applies to a given job depends on the drone category, the operation and the airspace. India's Digital Sky map divides airspace into green, yellow and red zones. Green zones do not need prior permission up to the permitted height, while yellow and red zones need permission first. Commercial operations also need registered drones and certified remote pilots. Lesoko flies with DGCA in-house pilots, checks airspace before every mission and follows pre-flight safety procedures.

What is the difference between drone photogrammetry and LiDAR surveying?+

Photogrammetry builds maps and 3D models from overlapping images. It suits open terrain and works well for orthomosaics, visual records and progress comparison. LiDAR measures with laser pulses, so it can capture bare-earth terrain beneath dense vegetation and suits corridors and complex terrain. Neither is always better, and some projects use both. We recommend the method that fits your terrain, accuracy requirement and deliverables.

What do you receive after a drone survey or inspection?+

You receive processed, usable outputs rather than raw images. For surveys these include orthomosaics, DSM/DTM/DEM, contours, point clouds, 3D models, and CAD and GIS files. For inspections they include thermal and RGB imagery, a geo-tagged defect register with severity classification, and an inspection report. For progress monitoring you receive orthomosaic comparisons and periodic reports. Where relevant, results come in a dashboard and in formats your team can import.
