Drones are becoming increasingly popular on construction sites for mapping and surveying. One reason for their popularity is that drones shorten the data-collection process significantly. Sites that may have taken days or weeks to survey by hand can be surveyed in a matter of hours using this aerial technology. The shortened process makes it financially feasible to survey a site multiple times throughout the construction process, giving users real-time information about progress and possible mistakes.

Additionally, the altitude drones can reach lets them easily collect information that ground surveying might miss and gives the user a much more holistic picture of their site.

But choosing what drone to use for a project or determining whether you should collect data via LiDAR or Photogrammetry isn’t immediately obvious. That’s where this research report can help.

In this research report, you’ll learn:

• What drone is right for your objectives
• The differences between and advantages of both LiDAR and photogrammetry data collection techniques
• What data storage options you should consider when mapping with a drone
