Drone LiDAR: How It Works, Mapping Workflows, and Real-World Uses

by

Drone LiDAR is changing the way engineers and surveyors capture terrain and infrastructure data. With drone LiDAR mapping, a LiDAR sensor mounted on a UAV collects millions of laser points per second, creating highly detailed 3D models. These survey-grade datasets give civil engineers and survey teams the accuracy they need for design, planning, and construction … Read more

Why I Still Use Ground Control with RTK Drone Mapping

by

I use RTK drone mapping every week to support engineering and land development survey projects. It’s fast, accurate, and efficient however I still use ground control on almost every project. RTK drone mapping is often marketed as a GCP-free workflow. And while that’s technically possible, it’s not how I operate. In this post, I’ll share … Read more
