Manage drone flights and data with the Cesium platform
Drones make it faster, easier, and more affordable for industry and government to understand the world in near real-time. Bring your drone photogrammetry or point clouds into the Cesium platform to rapidly produce 3D data streamable to digital twins and apps. Combine your 3D data with GPS logs for flight visualization and analysis, or create simulations for better fleet management.
Success stories
OneSky's UAS Traffic Management (UTM) platform provides UAV operators and planners an application to plan flights and monitor them in real-time, considering aspects such as navigation errors, communication link margins, and FAA airspace incursions.
DroneDeploy hosts the world’s largest drone data repository, with data covering more than 30 million acres and on 400,000 job sites. Their app, custom built on Cesium’s robust API, uses CesiumJS and Cesium ion’s 3D tiling pipeline to efficiently visualize massive 3D models and point cloud datasets.
Flight Review allows operators who use the open source PX4 autopilot for drones and other unmanned vehicles to upload and visualize their flight logs.
Try the Cesium platform
Build better with the Cesium platform
Use GPU-accelerated tools for high-precision measurements, line of sight, viewsheds, and slope analysis—all right from your mobile or favorite device.
Point clouds and photogrammetry uploaded to Cesium ion are automatically tiled into streamable 3D Tiles for smooth, fast rendering in your apps. Integrate with Cesium ion's API to make new data available to downstream apps as it becomes available.
