Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth.

Understanding concepts such as coordinate reference systems and map projections is becoming increasingly crucial

If you own a drone, there’s a good chance you may not be aware of the areas in which you can fly it.

Surveying large areas present significant challenges in terms of battery life, overlap, covering all areas, drone range, and safety.

We saw the initial planning phase of drone mapping in one of our previous blog. In this blog, we will discuss the Data Collection phase and how paramount it is to choose the right

Drones have come a long way in the survey and construction sectors, and their capabilities have greatly improved

Vector data is a data structure that can be used to store spatial data. It is used to represent real-world features and assign attributes to those features.

Raster data is made up of pixels (also referred to as grid cells). Each pixel is associated with a specific geographical location. Raster data is an abstraction of the real world.

Volumetric measurements are done using aerial or ground surveying techniques to calculate the volume of stockpiles and other materials.

Ground Control Points (GCPs) are defined as the points on the surface of the earth which help to georeference raster data such as satellite, aerial, or drone imagery.

Volumetric surveys are topographical surveys that accurately quantify the volume of material removed from or placed at a location.

Point clouds are the simplest form of 3D Model. They are the individual points plotted in 3D space.

Contouring, in surveying, is the determination of elevation of various points on the ground.

Surveying is a process of determining or identifying different features of a land area. It helps in planning or mapping an area.
