Mechanical Shutters: A Guide for Drone Pilots
LiDAR vs Photogrammetry for Aerial Surveying
A comparative guide to help you select your surveying sensors LiDAR and Photogrammetry have long been essential tools for professionals in surveying and mapping. However, recent advancements in drone technology have revolutionized the way data is gathered, yielding significant benefits. In contrast to the conventional approach of using manned aircraft for aerial surveying, drones provide a safer, more precise, and cost-effective alternative. This transformation has democratized surveying solutions, extending their utility to diverse sectors such as agriculture, construction, conservation, mining, crash scene reconstruction, and more. These sectors can now access detailed point clouds, accurate maps, and 3D models to enhance...
LiDAR Drone Systems: Using LiDAR Equipped UAVs
Everything you need to know about how drone LiDAR is revolutionizing mapping and geospatial data Drones furnished with cameras provide businesses an additional set of airborne eyes, introducing a fresh outlook on ground-level operations. Across diverse sectors such as construction, emergency services, agriculture, and utilities, drones are contributing significant value. The sensor technology integrated into unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is in a constant state of evolution, meaning these vehicles are not limited to capturing ordinary images and videos. Among the latest advancements in UAV payloads, there's a notable integration of increasingly advanced Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) systems. Through the...
