Using drones for real estate is gradually becoming a thing, especially in the United States of America where a drone could be used to take photos of an entire estate for various purposes. One of these purposes is image mapping for geolocation devices and platforms or simply for social media if the estate has a page.

UAVs have taken over and have been put to use in different spheres of our day to day life including parcel delivery, media briefing, and event coverage. This has given way to the creation of software which can do more than the ordinary, one of which is the 3D mapping software. This software is used to create stunning 3D models of buildings, objects, and surroundings. They work perfectly with elevation models and capturing orthographic photos. 3D Mapping software utilizes a tech that takes out the guesswork from data analysis which would save you not only time but also money which would have been spent on carrying out surveys. Drone mapping and photogrammetry Ever heard the word photogrammetry? Yes, it’s not your Standard English word, but it does mean something to drone hobbyists and companies offering drone mapping services.

Drone inspections can be used in several instances, but we would focus on three in this text. Offshore Constructions Construction areas are pretty harsh environments, and the offshore construction areas are no different. They are very demanding and can lead to several faults and even production loss during the rigorous inspection and installation process and keep these losses to a minimum is of utmost importance. Combating this loss can be carried out easily by deploying a drone. For instance, during flare inspection at an oil […]
