  • Surveying accurately using a UAV or Drone

    Mobile surveying using a drone or UAV is becoming more popular. Surveyors using these vehicles can cover large areas, faster than their static survey colleagues. But surveying in this way presents a new set of challenges for surveyors who need precise position, navigation and timing measurements to turn their LiDAR data into accurate 3D pointclouds.

    During the webinar, we will discuss how surveyors using a drone or UAV for mobile mapping applications can still produce accurate data – even when challenged by size, weight and budget.

    Join us at 14:00 hrs (GMT) on Thursday, 16th December to learn more about:

    • The components needed to conduct a LiDAR survey using a UAV
    • The advantages of utilising Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
    • Georeferencing LiDAR data and the results you can achieve

    The webinar is free to attend and all registrants will receive a copy of the recording after the event.
