There are certain best practices that should be followed.

In the 2020 Point of Beginning Aerial & UAV research Report, survey firms share why they are investing in drones.

An app project pairs unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite imagery to map lake ice hazards.

As leading experts in the field, Phase One Industrial's medium-format aerial solutions offer exceptional accuracy, image quality and coverage that rival large format cameras at a fraction of the price.

Depending on the use case, drones are an excellent choice for collecting high-quality remotely sensed data; however, current operating regulations in the U.S. require the operator to keep the drone in sight.

RIEGL’s VP-1 Helicopter Pod features Smart Waveform LiDAR using the VUX-240 Airborne Scanner.

In November, 2019, the U.S. Department of Interior made the decision to ground its 531-strong drone force, with the exception of drones being used for emergency purposes such as fighting wildfires and conducting search and rescue missions.

The drone market is projected to grow to $43 billion by 2024—a compound growth rate of around 20.5 percent, according to ResearchandMarkets.com.
