Drones

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

Try the Cesium platform

Build better with the Cesium platform

Combine 3D models, global base layers, and flight logs to create accurate 4D flight path visualizations or simulations.

The Propeller user interface, showing stockpile analysis

Use GPU-accelerated tools for high-precision measurements, line of sight, viewsheds, and slope analysis—all right from your mobile or favorite device.

The Cesium ion user interface form for uploading and tiling 3D data, showing the upload details for a point cloud

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.

Integrate with Cesium ion

Create a Cesium ion integration for your users to tile and upload their data, or work with existing Cesium partners who provide photogrammetry pipelines and other services to make your work easier.
