LiDAR (light detection and ranging) and traditional photogrammetry play a role in nearly all land surveying and mapping projects today.

For the Tallahassee-Leon Geographic Information Systems Department, the elevation project was an opportunity to obtain high-accuracy survey data that would characterize its varied county landscape like never before.

Exact Metrology illustrates how the process fills the gap between digital data acquisition and the generation of CAD model for engineering functionality.

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.

Understanding the differences between the two technologies will improve accuracy, efficiency and ensure the project achieves the desired results.

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

The company’s latest GNSS receiver combines Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)-based tilt compensation with Trimble TIP technology so points can be measured or staked out while the survey rod is tilted.

Using RedTail LiDAR Systems’ RTL-400 allowed for the rapid inspection and monitoring of miles of stream corridor in very short time periods.
