Wingtra has launched its new MicaSense RedEdge Panchromatic (RE-P) payload. Capturing with the same five bands as the time-tested RedEdge-MX, the RE-P introduces a panchromatic sensor for enhanced resolution, life-like...

Two Hungarian companies designed a three-step data collection workflow to overcome the challenges in this urban surveying project in Hungary, which included the use of UAVs and remote-controlled boats for...

How accurate is accurate enough? If you’re like most land surveyors, the answer is “as much as possible.”  With an RTK drone, surveyors and other drone pilots can expect centimetre-level...

Surveyors and GIS professionals have the highest standards when it comes to their tools and trade. It is therefore no wonder that many surveyors are turning to drones for their mapping and...

Following the devastating explosion of an ammonium stockpile in Beirut in August 2020, a UAV mapping project was rapidly initiated to assess the damage. The project was led by Augment,...

Propeller Aero and Wingtra have joined forces to deliver accurate site data and 3D mapping to construction and earthworks companies across the globe. Propeller Aero is a drone data visualization...

An inertial navigation system (INS) is a critical part of a surveyor’s armoury. The measurements provided by the INS, including heading, pitch/roll, timing and absolute position, ensure that surveyors can confidently measure their environment, safe in the knowledge that every area and angle is covered precisely.
