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.
We at Woolpert are strong advocates for the use of UAS technologies, and envision a future where these systems will be just another tool in the surveyor’s tool box.
Surveyors continue to develop processes around producing maps based on UAS LiDAR and are discovering how to fully leverage the technology in conjunction with more traditional photogrammetric techniques.
The Earth Observation and Ecosystem Dynamics Group at Aberystwyth University has invested in a drone based LiDAR and spectral imaging package in order to enhance their research across the globe.
