Komotini Regional Mapping and Photogrammetry

High-altitude landscape and terrain mapping in the Komotini region to support geographic and site planning.

Mapping large open terrains in Komotini allowed us to test the HeliCam's capabilities for regional geography and photogrammetry.

By executing high-altitude flight paths, we captured overlapping frames that could be stitched into wide orthophotos, mapping the agricultural fields, roads, and rural structures with high precision.
