Photogrammetry and Lidar Sensors • Difference between Blanket Surface(photogrammetry) and Bare Earth (Lidar) surface • Expected accuracies between Photogrammetry and Lidar • Case Studies: When should traditional survey be replaced with UAV Operations Presentation by: Ryan Fuselier, P.E., RPLS [email protected] 337-654-6403
• Dependent on lighting condition • Large variation in cameras on the market • Many mapping apps: Maps Made Easy, Pix4D, Drone Deploy, Datumate, etc • Processing and Data Collection apps constantly being updated which can be problematic • Problems stitching photos in areas w/ heavy tree canopy • Requires very good QA/QC process • Independent of lighting conditions • Only a few sensors to choose from • Vendor specific data processing software • Typically consistent accuracies more reliable system • Data typically 1/3 size of photogrammetry • Quicker processing time • Higher day rates • Deployable on various platforms
overlap • Set altitude • Establish return to home parameters • Low battery 30% • Flight time • Range limitation • Lost link • Excessive winds aloft • Establish landing parameters
