Vineyard Intelligence — drone mapping and 3D vineyard models

A spatial record — from vine to parcel.

We combine mapping, 3D reconstruction, geometry and repeatable surveys into an organised vineyard record. Each result captures a specific parcel at a specific time; the scope is agreed before fieldwork.

  • Parcel mapping
  • 3D digital twins
  • Geometry and measurement
  • Repeat data campaigns

Method

Capture. Reconstruct. Measure. Document. Compare.

First we capture the parcel. Then we build its model, measure agreed elements and organise the information. Repeat campaigns can gradually form a comparable history.

  1. 01Capture

    Capture the parcel

    A planned flight records the whole parcel at one point in time.

  2. 02Reconstruct

    Reconstruct it in 3D

    Images become a legible model of the terrain and vineyard layout.

  3. 03Measure

    Measure what matters

    The model provides a shared basis for agreed measurements.

  4. 04Document

    Document the parcel

    Map, model and measurements form an organised dataset from one campaign.

  5. 05Compare

    Compare over time

    Later campaigns can be compared when the acquisition conditions and method are consistent.

NeoScout field work

Real data from the field.

Two acquisition scales: the terraced vineyard landscape in Wachau and detailed documentation of rows and vines in Burgundy.

Wachau / Austria

Steep vineyards. Full terrain context.

On steep vineyard sites, a conventional top-down image does not describe the full geometry. Terrain reconstruction preserves slope, terraces, access routes, vineyard rows and their elevation relationships.

Burgundy / France

From parcel scale to individual vine detail.

In Burgundy we also worked at low acquisition heights, recording vineyard rows and individual vine structure at high spatial detail. The resulting dataset can support 3D reconstruction, measurements, infrastructure documentation and future repeat surveys.

Data layers

From core geometry to an operational record.

The availability of each layer depends on scope, source-data quality and the agreed processing method.

  • 01

    3D model

    A spatial reconstruction of the parcel and its context.

    Baseline output
  • 02

    Orthomosaic

    A calibrated top-down view for review and documentation.

    Baseline output
  • 03

    Terrain and elevation

    Landform and elevation relationships derived from the model.

    Baseline output
  • 04

    Vine rows

    Vectorised row structure within the agreed project scope.

    Project scope
  • 05

    Individual vines

    An object record where resolution and conditions allow.

    Project scope
  • 06

    Missing-vine observations

    An observation layer for field review, not an automated diagnosis.

    Project scope
  • 07

    Trellis, posts and walls

    Selected structural elements recorded to the project brief.

    Project scope
  • 08

    Infrastructure

    Roads, boundaries and assets relevant to parcel management.

    Project scope
  • 09

    Measurements

    Agreed lengths, areas and spatial relationships.

    Baseline output
  • 10

    Survey history

    Repeatable capture with dated datasets kept as distinct records.

    Baseline output
  • 11

    Season-to-season comparison

    Change analysis requires comparable conditions and a separately agreed method.

    Project scope

A record through time

Each survey adds a chapter — it does not replace the last.

A repeatable data structure enables comparison between seasonal campaigns. Specific conclusions require an agreed method and comparable capture conditions.

  1. Survey 01

    Full canopy and fruit

    The parcel recorded during a developed stage of the season.

  2. Survey 02

    Post-harvest or post-pruning

    A second record of geometry and visible parcel elements.

  3. Survey 03

    Next season

    A new campaign preserved alongside earlier datasets.

Comparison between campaigns requires a consistent method, capture conditions and analysis scope.

Practical value

Shared context for field decisions.

01

Condition documentation

A legible spatial record of the parcel at a specific moment.

02

Measurement and planning

One geometric basis for discussing the scope of work.

03

Collaboration

Visual context that is easier to share with teams and partners.

04

Data continuity

Successive campaigns organised as a history, not loose files.
