Today’s episode is about generating accuracy in UAV mapping. What systems should you follow? And, which equipment and applications should you ideally use?
Our caller Ted from Germany is wondering how he can generate drone maps with cm grade accuracy. We kick off this informative episode by talking about process systems and ideal workflow. Which is the best drone for UAV mapping, and why? What are the different GPS options? And, how can you set accurate ground control points? We also talk about the drone cameras and provide some little known editing tricks to wrap up this information filled episode.
