Uzufly use drones to make detailed aerial maps that are like 'Google Earth on steroids.'

Dec 21, 2022

“We basically use the same technology as Google Earth — that is, aerial photography,” Uzufly co-founder Théo Benazzi“But while Google uses airplanes to take huge numbers of pictures at high altitudes, we use drones that have smaller cameras and capture images much closer to the ground. That’s why we can generate 3D models at the level of a neighborhood or an entire city.”

Uzufly, located in Le Garage inside the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne Innovation Park, says that its target market is urban development, mainly city officials and property developers. “Instead of showing blueprints of a school extension or new neighborhood, we model existing structures and then add planned new ones in 3D,” says Benazzi.
