Drone Surveys are becoming commonplace among the Geospatial Survey and Mapping Profession. Survey drones can generate high-resolution orthomosaics and detailed 3D models of areas where low-quality, outdated or even no data, are available.
The technology required to carry out these surveys is becoming widely available and much more accessible. Caution must therefore be taken when appointing a survey company in a commercial context. Drone Pilots must be fully qualified, insured and with experience in carrying out this method of data capture safely and within the strict guidelines of the Civil Aviation Authority.
