Delineate every catchment and sub-basin.
FlyPix AI is the no-code catchment analysis software that turns satellite, SAR, and LiDAR pixels and terrain models into catchment boundaries, drainage areas, and contributing-area statistics you can act on — covering whole basins and saving up to 99.7% of manual delineation time.
Delineating one catchment by hand takes 997 seconds.
FlyPix AI takes 3.
A single basin can break down into hundreds of sub-catchments, each with its own pour point, drainage area, and mix of land cover. Tracing divides off contour lines by hand does not scale, and every new survey or land-use change moves the boundaries again. FlyPix AI delineates every catchment and tallies its contributing area instantly, so your basin model keeps pace with every new pass.
Analysts trace catchment divides off contours and snap pour points by hand, sheet after sheet. Drainage areas are inconsistent, slow to compute, and out of date before they reach a water resource or planning team.
Up to 99.7% time saved. Consistent, georeferenced catchment boundaries, drainage areas, and contributing-area statistics you can trend over time and export straight into your hydrological models and GIS.
AI watershed delineation and drainage-area analysis, without the code.
Catchment analysis software is a tool that ingests terrain and imagery to delineate the area of land that drains to a given point — its catchment — and to measure what that contributing area contains. FlyPix AI is a no-code platform that uses artificial intelligence to delineate catchments and sub-basins from terrain, derive flow direction and accumulation from DEMs, locate pour points, and measure land cover, impervious surfaces, and runoff potential within each contributing area across satellite, SAR, and LiDAR imagery. You upload your elevation data and captures, label a handful of examples, and the AI engine builds a custom model and runs delineation across the whole basin — turning hours of manual divide-tracing into minutes of decision-ready insight.
Everything you need to analyse a catchment
One platform to delineate, measure, derive, and monitor every contributing area you capture — from a single road-side outlet to an entire river basin.
Catchment & sub-basin delineation
Delineate the boundary of every catchment and nested sub-basin from terrain so you can attribute runoff to exactly where it drains.
Drainage area & contributing area
Compute the drainage area above any point and break a basin into contributing areas you can rank, compare, and report on.
Flow direction & accumulation
Derive flow direction and flow accumulation from DEMs to see where water concentrates and how each cell feeds its outlet.
Pour points & outlets
Locate and snap pour points and basin outlets to the drainage network so every catchment closes at the right place.
Land cover within the catchment
Measure land cover, impervious surfaces, and runoff potential inside each catchment to quantify what drives its response.
No-code custom models
Train a detector for the exact feature you care about — a culvert, a farm dam, a stormwater inlet, a sealed surface — by labelling a few examples, no programming.
From terrain to a catchment map in four steps
A no-code workflow built so hydrologists, catchment planners, and water resource teams — not just data scientists — can run production-grade catchment analysis.
Upload terrain & imagery
Bring a LiDAR-derived DEM plus satellite, aerial, or drone captures — RGB, multispectral, or SAR for all-weather coverage.
Set outlets & label
Drop the pour points you care about and mark a few examples of features the engine should pick out. A handful is enough.
Let the AI delineate
FlyPix derives flow from the DEM, delineates every catchment and sub-basin, and tallies the contributing area for each.
Explore & export
Review catchment boundaries and drainage-area statistics on interactive maps, then export catchment vectors to your models and GIS.
One platform for every sensor over the basin
Catchment analysis is more than tracing divides on a contour map. FlyPix AI ingests the full range of remote-sensing and terrain data — delineate catchments and derive flow from LiDAR-grade elevation models, separate land cover and impervious surfaces with multispectral bands, and confirm channels and outlets through cloud and darkness with SAR — all in one workspace.

Why water resource teams choose FlyPix AI
The platform removes the bottlenecks that slow catchment analysis: manual divide tracing, specialist headcount, rigid formats, and tooling that cannot keep pace with a changing basin.
Delineation in seconds
Delineate every catchment and tally its drainage area in seconds instead of hours of manual divide tracing — and repeat it on every new pass.
Terrain and imagery together
Combine LiDAR-derived DEMs with optical, multispectral, and SAR in one workspace so you can map both the divide and the land cover inside it.
A true no-code platform
Hydrologists and catchment planners train and run AI models on their own data — no programming, no data-science team, no vendor queue.
Scales to any basin
Analyse a single road-side outlet or sweep an entire river basin into ranked sub-catchments at the cadence your mission demands.
What geospatial teams say
From industrial pilots to research labs to environmental missions — see how teams put FlyPix AI to work.
