new world tech to solve old world issues
Innovation is in our DNA
Image Surveys offers specialist drone-based research and data collection services that support universities, environmental researchers, engineering consultants, and technical organisations across the UK. Utilizing advanced UAV technology, we provide high-resolution aerial imagery, geospatial datasets, and precise mapping outputs essential for scientific analysis, field studies, and applied research projects, including environmental reporting and heritage conservation.
Our drone inspections enable fast, accurate, and repeatable data capture across various research applications, such as environmental monitoring, land use analysis, habitat mapping, infrastructure studies, and experimental fieldwork. We create orthomosaic maps, 3D models, point clouds, and terrain data that can be utilized for modelling, simulation, and spatial analysis.

We are in the planning and first build stage of developing an integrated land management system with partners that pulls in mapping data, environmental information such as soil condition, land use categories and other sources of information needed to manage and report agricultural land use efficiently.

We are in the planning and first build stage of developing an integrated land management system with partners that pulls in mapping data, environmental information such as soil condition, land use categories and other sources of information needed to manage and report agricultural land use efficiently.
Drones have multiple roles to play in the modern farm and Image Surveys will be part of that journey.

We are working with leading AI specialists to develop improved detection and assessment of habitat changes using drones and ground based cameras to monitor areas such as where major civil engineering is planned or in areas that are sensitive to external environmental changes.
This tech speeds up the processing of the number of images generated by such surveys meaning quicker responses to issues.
Heritage
Environment & Conservation
Carbon Reduction
Image Surveys is invested in developing the use of drones with different sensors and scanning technology to help in the efficient management of heritage properties in terms of maintenance, preservation, research and engagement of visitors.
We are working closely with scanning experts to develop the cost effective production of digital twinning for heritage buildings

Carbon Reduction
As the UK moves to a reduced carbon economy the less reliance on heavy machinery the better. In this respect our drones are already replacing traditional methods of working that use such equipment.
We are also looking at the using thermal drones to allow building owners to look at where they can make savings on expensive and carbon dependent energy.
Drone Security

Drone Security
As well as traditional research we are also keen to see our industry develop a professional reputation for responsible flying though investment in our own training, contribution to changes in UK drone legislation and offering help for organisations that are at risk from inappropriate drone activities such as access to anti-drone technology which is a developing area.
Public Safety

Image Surveys is working with other specialists to look at the efficient creation of digital twins that can be easily shared and updated to provide information for managers of public buildings and event spaces in light of changes that will come from building and public safety legislation following the Grenfell and Manchester Arena disasters.
NOVEL
Innovation & the LCR
Image Surveys Limited is proud to be have been invited to take part in an initiative within the Liverpool City Region known as NOVEL. The group was set up in 2025 to partner innovative private sector businesses, the combined authority authority and the City's world class universities.
Led by the team from the University of Liverpool's Virtual Engineering Centre the aim is to pioneer new ways to maximise results from innovation by unlocking the combined knowledge of those involved in new ways.
