What is aerial surveying?<\/h3>\n\n \n\n\n \n\n

If you\u2019re new to the world of aerial surveying, this blog is for you. We talk through what it is, how it works, the platforms and tools involved, and why precise positioning is essential for turning data into actionable insight. <\/h5>\n\n\n

Aerial surveying and why it matters<\/h5>\n\n\n
\n

A glance through news stories from the last year reveals some amazing discoveries: unexploded bombs accurately located in Canadian peat bogs<\/a>; rare sightings of an endangered fin whale and its calf<\/span><\/span><\/a>; <\/span><\/span>even discoveries relating to long-lost Roman legions<\/span><\/span><\/a>. The thing that connects all these discoveries is that they were made by people scanning the land from the air \u2013 in other words, Aerial surveying.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aerial surveying refers to any survey conducted from the air. Data can include photographs, topographical information gathered by LiDAR, or even air quality measurements. Compared to land-based mobile mapping, aerial surveying <\/span>generally covers<\/span> much larger areas. Drone-based aerial surveys can also reach smaller, hard-to-access areas, as highlighted in our <\/span>Dronezone<\/span> case study.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Industries such as construction, transportation, and agriculture regularly rely on aerial surveys for their projects. Compared to traditional ground surveys, aerial surveys deliver speed, coverage, and accuracy that can dramatically improve decision-making.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n\n\n
