UAVs, a vital tool for the surveying industry

GIM April 2017Over the past couple of years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or ‘drones’) have become a vital tool for the surveying and mapping industry. Equipped with a variety of sensors, they add a new dimension to the capture of geospatial data. Drone technology is developing rapidly, but the UAV itself is not the only thing that counts; the type and quality of data collected also depends on the payload. This section of our website informs you about the latest trends in the field of unmanned aerial mapping relating to capturing, processing and visualising the data in various mapping applications. In-depth articles, case studies, interviews and columns will provide you with new insights regarding the professional use of UAVs.
