One project that has continued to garner headlines for NCALM was in Honduras, where researchers used airborne LiDAR to map a remote region of the rainforest in 2012, uncovering evidence of a previously unknown ancient civilization.
The drop in LiDAR prices is suddenly making LiDAR deployment on drones a more affordable alternative that is likely to compete with photogrammetry as a choice for capturing visual imagery from drones.
While drone deployment is still in early stages for many companies, an important trend to watch is the falling price of LiDAR.So, why would companies using drones prefer LiDAR over more traditional photogrammetry? Much of the decision rests on how much imagery detail a drone mission needs to capture.
It takes a lot of skill to get survey-grade accuracy using a drone. Ensuring accuracy also requires using ASPRS standards for measuring and verifying the accuracy of the final data.
