Our Drone Mapping and Survey Services

Evidence-focused aerial capture, measurement, and 3D modeling for large or complex incident scenes.

Aerial Scene Documentation

UAVs capture hundreds or thousands of high-resolution images across accident scenes, industrial sites, crime scenes, and large properties, preserving broad site conditions efficiently for later analysis and presentation.

Drone Photogrammetry

Overlapping aerial photographs are processed into dimensionally accurate 3D data, helping teams document spatial relationships, distances, terrain, vehicle positions, and other scene features from a verifiable visual record.

3D Site Models

We create clear, navigable 3D models from drone imagery to help attorneys, experts, insurers, and investigators examine complex environments and communicate scene conditions with greater context.

Court-Ready Aerial Evidence

Document Complex Scenes From Above

Drone mapping gives legal and investigative teams a fast, comprehensive way to preserve large or difficult-to-access scenes. 21st Century Forensic Animations processes aerial imagery into accurate 3D models and measurable visual evidence that can support expert analysis and courtroom communication. From Texas roadway collisions to industrial incidents in Illinois and Louisiana, our work is grounded in physical evidence, documented methodology, and the evidentiary needs of each case.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are drone mapping and survey services used for?

Drone mapping and survey services use UAV imagery to document large or complex environments and convert photographs into usable visual data. For forensic matters, the resulting material can support accident reconstruction, site analysis, scene measurements, 3D models, and demonstrative exhibits. It is especially useful when ground-level photography cannot efficiently show the full scene layout or spatial relationships.
