A drone survey simply refers to the use of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) also know as a drone, to capture visual, thermal, video, LiDAR and other aerial data in order to gain new and vital information for a vast range of purposes.
3D Modelling for example uses hundred of photographed images of points of interest from multiple angles that are tagged with accurate GPS co-ordinates in order to create a 3D digital model or a set project area.
While this same form of 3D modelling can be accomplished by plane or helicopter, drone surveys can be conducted at much lower altitudes and at a faster speed to generate incredibly high resolution and highly accurate data compared to other more expensive methods.
What are drone surveys used for?
Drone surveys are used by a huge number of end services for a wide range of uses including:
