Mapping of a 320 ha / 790 ac former open-pit mine in New Caledonia for soil restoration. The main challenges were maintaining a homogeneous GSD with different bench heights and site inaccessibility.

The eBee X drone, S.O.D.A. 3D camera and eMotion flight planning software allowed the team to efficiently generate a high-resolution 3D model. Read the case study here.
