The Benchmark

Mapping one catchment by hand takes 997 seconds.
FlyPix AI takes 3.

A single catchment can hold thousands of kilometres of stream channel, dozens of sub-basins, and a web of runoff pathways. Tracing the drainage network by hand does not scale, and it falls out of date with every storm and land-use change. FlyPix AI extracts the whole network and delineates every watershed instantly, so your hydrological picture keeps pace with every new pass.

What is hydrological mapping software?

AI drainage and watershed mapping, without the code.

Hydrological mapping software is a tool that ingests imagery and terrain data to map the movement of water across a landscape — extracting stream networks, delineating catchments, and tracing flow. FlyPix AI is a no-code platform that uses artificial intelligence to extract drainage and stream networks, delineate watersheds and catchment boundaries, derive flow accumulation and direction from DEMs, and map water bodies, wetlands, and runoff pathways across satellite, SAR, and LiDAR imagery. You upload your captures and elevation data, label a handful of examples, and the AI engine builds a custom model and runs extraction across the whole catchment — turning hours of manual mapping into minutes of decision-ready insight.

Capabilities

Everything you need to map a catchment

One platform to extract, delineate, derive, and monitor the water cycle across every scene you capture — from a single headwater stream to an entire river basin.

Drainage network extraction

Automatically extract stream and river channels into a connected, ordered network and convert them into clean georeferenced vectors.

Watershed delineation

Delineate catchment and sub-basin boundaries from terrain so you can attribute every drop of runoff to where it drains.

Flow accumulation & direction

Derive flow direction and accumulation from DEMs to reveal where water concentrates and how channels build downstream.

Water bodies & wetlands

Map lakes, ponds, reservoirs, and wetlands as part of the network so the whole hydrological picture is captured in one layer.

Runoff & flood pathways

Trace overland runoff and flood pathways across the terrain to see where water travels before it reaches a channel.

No-code custom models

Train a detector for the exact hydrological feature you care about — an ephemeral channel, a culvert, a spring, a drainage ditch — by labelling a few examples, no programming.

How it works

From terrain and imagery to a hydrological 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 hydrological mapping.

STEP 01

Upload imagery & terrain

Bring satellite, aerial, or drone captures plus elevation data — RGB, multispectral, SAR, or a LiDAR-derived DEM.

STEP 02

Label what matters

Mark a few examples of the channel, water body, or feature you want to map. A handful is enough for the engine to learn.

STEP 03

Let the AI map

FlyPix builds a model from your labels and extracts streams, delineates catchments, and derives flow across the whole area.

STEP 04

Explore & export

Review the drainage network and watershed boundaries on interactive maps, then export hydrographic vectors to your models and GIS.

Supported Data

One platform for every sensor over the catchment

Hydrological mapping is more than true-colour pictures. FlyPix AI ingests the full range of remote-sensing and terrain data — separate water from land with multispectral bands, see channels through cloud and darkness with SAR, and derive drainage networks and watersheds from LiDAR-grade elevation models — all in one workspace.

Why FlyPix

Why water resource teams choose FlyPix AI

The platform removes the bottlenecks that slow hydrological mapping: manual channel tracing, specialist headcount, rigid formats, and tooling that cannot keep pace with a changing catchment.

Mapping in seconds

Extract a full drainage network and delineate every catchment in seconds instead of hours of manual tracing — and repeat it on every new pass.

Imagery and terrain together

Combine optical, multispectral, SAR, and LiDAR-derived DEMs in one workspace so you can map both water and the terrain that moves 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

Map a single headwater stream or sweep an entire river basin at the cadence your mission demands.

FAQ

Hydrological mapping software, answered

The questions hydrologists, catchment planners, and water resource teams ask before switching to AI-powered hydrological mapping.

What is hydrological mapping software?
Hydrological mapping software ingests imagery and terrain data to map how water moves across a landscape — extracting drainage and stream networks, delineating watersheds, deriving flow accumulation and direction, and mapping water bodies and runoff pathways. AI-powered platforms like FlyPix AI automate this across satellite, SAR, and LiDAR data, turning hours of manual channel tracing into minutes of georeferenced insight.
Do I need coding or GIS expertise to use FlyPix AI?
No. FlyPix AI is a no-code platform. You upload imagery and terrain data, label a few examples of the hydrological features you want to map, and the AI engine builds a model and runs extraction across your whole catchment automatically — no programming or deep machine-learning knowledge required.
Can FlyPix AI extract drainage and stream networks?
Yes. FlyPix AI extracts stream and river channels into a connected, ordered drainage network from imagery and DEMs, including small headwater and ephemeral channels, and converts them into clean georeferenced vectors you can analyse and export.
How does FlyPix AI delineate watersheds and flow?
FlyPix AI uses elevation models to derive flow direction and flow accumulation, then delineates catchment and sub-basin boundaries from that terrain. You can refine results by labelling a few examples of the channels or features specific to your area.
What imagery and data does FlyPix AI support for hydrological mapping?
FlyPix AI supports satellite, aerial, and drone imagery in RGB, multispectral, and hyperspectral formats, plus Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for all-weather channel and water mapping and LiDAR-derived DEMs for drainage, watershed, and flow analysis. It exports hydrographic vector layers to your hydrological models and GIS.
How much time can FlyPix AI save versus manual mapping?
FlyPix AI can save up to 99.7% of mapping time. In FlyPix benchmarks, catchment mapping that takes roughly 997 seconds by hand is completed by the AI engine in about 3 seconds.
Can I try FlyPix AI on my own data?
Yes. You can create an account and start mapping your own imagery and terrain, or request a guided demo to see drainage network extraction, watershed delineation, flow analysis, and custom model training applied to your catchment.
