Hey everyone,

Let’s get started by exploring the world of GIS in today’s WednesdayQuizMaster!

GIS (Geographic Information System) is gaining momentum in the present scenario. Photogrammetry & LiDAR (Light Detection & Ranging) technologies are latest technologies revolutionizing the way we are working. In this article, let us dig through the circumstances to determine the right kind of sensors to use.

LiDAR is a distance technology. It is the latest disruptive technology having its use in various fields and now in the construction industry as well. From an aircraft or a helicopter, the lidar system actively sends light energy to the ground.

UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) promises cheap and easy survey’s, but yes, there is something more that they can provide. To get the results that suit your requirements, you probably have to educate yourself about the sensors the UAVs uses to capture the data. You will also have to educate yourself about LiDAR and Photogrammetry.

Furthermore, here is an informative guide on LiDAR that takes you on a deep dive to decide when it is best to use photogrammetry, LiDAR, or both when you are surveying with your UAV.
