Drone surveying is a powerful tool for earthmoving companies to collect data and generate orthophotos for future reference or use in other projects or applications. With the right software solution, such as Propeller, earthmoving professionals can easily export data from their drone surveys and use it to manage their projects. The data collected from a drone survey mission can be used in many ways. It can be used to create 3D maps and models for construction operations, waste management, mining and aggregates.
Contractors can generate personalized surveys based on the data from their drones processed with a software solution such as Propeller. The drone survey data is then processed and visualized on an interactive 3D map to track progress, measure volume and improve team collaboration. When it comes to archiving the data collected from a drone survey mission, the best drone topography software solutions, such as Propeller, offer easy, cloud-based access to real-time data for anyone who needs it. This ensures that the data is properly documented and archived for future reference or use in other projects or applications. In addition, privacy advocates have organized a lobbying campaign that has succeeded in convincing thirteen states to enact laws that regulate the use of drones by law enforcement. Eleven of those thirteen states require a court order before the government can use a drone.
While court orders are attractive to privacy advocates, enacting restrictions that are too broad on the use of drones can restrict the beneficial and non-invasive uses of drones. As you can see, the data you get from conducting surveys with a drone can be used in many ways to improve your business and improve communication with your customers and the project team. With the right software solution, such as Propeller, earthmoving professionals can easily export an orthophoto of any polygon measurement in regular, composite surveys, which means that interested parties can continue working with the data they captured in drone topographies.
