The field of surveying and mapping has changed dramatically in recent years, thanks to the introduction of drone technology and the incorporation of point cloud data. These unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become vital tools for a variety of businesses, providing a cost-effective and efficient method of collecting high-resolution data…

Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) have become vital tools for a range of applications in the fast evolving field of remote sensing and geospatial technology, with drone surveying at the forefront. DEMs are essential for converting two-dimensional images and data into a rich three-dimensional perspective, allowing for more precise and detailed…

From the reconstruction of ancient artifacts and archaeological sites to enhancing urban planning and disaster response, photogrammetry offers a novel approach to understanding our world. In this blog series, we will embark on a captivating journey through the realm of photogrammetry and its outputs. Photogrammetry is a technique used to…

Surveying is a crucial aspect of civil engineering and construction projects, providing accurate measurements and data for planning, design, and implementation. Two important techniques used in surveying are Longitudinal and Cross sectioning. These methods allow surveyors to gather detailed information about the terrain, enabling engineers to make informed decisions during…

Photogrammetry is the technology of creating 3D models, orthomosaics, point clouds, or other geospatial data from a series of overlapping photographs or images. With photogrammetry, you can measure and model the real world with a camera. Photogrammetry is used in the military, construction, land surveying, real estate, etc. Photogrammetry extracts…

With the advancement in drone technology, various sensors have been integrated into the drones to improve the sensitivity of drones for collecting critical project data and the drone’s ability to maneuver around challenging terrain. With this information, drones can also maintain their positions, determine how fast they are, and avoid…

The Projected Coordinate System helps you to project a specific round-earth model onto a flat surface or map. PCS are created by projecting the 3D GCS onto a 2D surface. The projected coordinate system tells the data on how to draw on a flat surface. There are many different map…

Understanding concepts such as coordinate reference systems and map projections is becoming increasingly crucial as drones become more common in the surveying, construction, mining, and earthwork industries. Knowing how the coordinate system functions will aid in getting precise measurements. Coordinate Reference System Coordinates are ordered pairs of points that help us locate any…

If you own a drone, there’s a good chance you may not be aware of the areas in which you can fly it. The DGCA’s interactive airspace map can assist you in this regard. The Ministry of Civil Aviation launched an airspace map of India for drone operations on 24…
