Lidar technology for Land Surveying has been around for decades, but technological advancements have now made lidar more accurate, reliable, and affordable than ever before. At Aerotas, we've been processing aerial lidar data for years. In this article, we go through all of the different capabilities and processes necessary to get high quality survey deliverables from your lidar data.
On 10/10, DJI announced the Zenmuse L2. We believe the new L2 will offer exceptional technical improvements over both the L1 and the current mid-tier sensor market. We’re excited to share what we know about the delivery timeline, and how we view the technical specs.
DJI’s long-anticipated L1 sensor is finally here, and we’ve been doing dozens of test flights and spending hundreds of hours flying and analyzing data to create a real-world, field-tested review of the newest DJI L1 sensor.
DJI states that “The P1 supports 24mm, 35mm, and 50mm lenses with industry-specific DL mounts. Only use lenses engraved with the "DJI Enterprise" logo to produce survey-grade accurate results.” But, there is more to the story.
There are numerous ways to process GNSS data from the DJI M300 RTK and the Phantom 4 RTK. This article will discuss the five most common methods for processing data from DJI RTK drones and weigh their strengths and weaknesses.
Read the article to get answers to these common questions:
Can I use my Trimble, Leica, or Topcon base with the Phantom 4 RTK?
Is it possible to use my NTRIP correction service without a base station?
Will the DJI D-RTK 2 work as a standalone base or rover?
DJI recently released their new Inspire 3 drone, and we have had the chance to go through all of the information about their latest aircraft and camera system. It has many new and impressive features, with a very long list of advanced technological specifications. But is it any good for land surveying?
This month we are updating our CAD Standards and CAD templates as part of our ongoing process of improving the overall quality of our linework offerings. This article will go over some of the changes we will be making in this change, or you can view and download the full layer template at the below link.
The Mavic 3 Enterprise is DJI’s latest hardware release that is capable of performing survey grade mapping. It promises an advanced suite of capabilities and attachments to perform different tasks, but here we are specifically going to focus on the RTK enabled Mavic 3E, and how well it performs as a high accuracy surveying and mapping tool. And now that we have had a few weeks to fly, test, and process data from this drone, we are able to provide a full in-depth review.
