Drone surveying, also known as aerial surveying or drone mapping, is a technique that uses unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, equipped with specialized cameras and sensors to collect data from the air for surveying purposes.
Drone surveying can be used in a variety of industries, including construction, agriculture, mining, and environmental monitoring. By flying over the area of interest and capturing high-resolution aerial images and other data, drones can create highly detailed maps and models of the terrain, structures, and objects within the survey area.
The data collected by drones can be processed using specialized software to create 3D models, orthomosaic maps, and other types of survey outputs that can be used for various purposes, such as monitoring construction progress, assessing crop health, mapping land boundaries, and conducting geological surveys.
Drone surveying has several advantages over traditional surveying methods, including cost-effectiveness, speed, and accessibility to hard-to-reach areas. Additionally, drones can collect data with higher accuracy and precision than traditional surveying methods.
