Benefits Of Aerial Mapping Using The Drone Photography Plantation FL Surveyors Need

By Donna Beley


In the not too distant past, when someone mentioned drones it was in reference to the military or law enforcement. Times have changed, and today this technology has spread to commercial and personal use. Drones are increasingly employed to recreate ground based surveying from the air. The drone photography Plantation FL cartographers use can be more accurate and revealing than anything surveyors map on land.

Drones are advantageous for a variety of reasons. They are cheaper to operate than manned aircraft, and they can cover a wide area in a short amount of time. Although, in some areas pilots are required, autonomously flown drones can solve problems efficiently

They are also quicker and safer to use as opposed to collecting data via satellites, manned aircraft and road crews. Regardless of the type of mapping needed or the application, drone photography is better suited for the job.

Not everyone is convinced drones are well suited for surveying. Some believe the technology is not advanced enough to map land using coordinates or markers. Actually piloted drones can pinpoint locations using several types of control points. Drones can actually receive data from the ground while in flight. They have the capability of taking infrared and color photos.

Drones can take pictures that allow surveyors to draw complicated metes and bounds surveys for property owners. Owners use the surveys to market land to developers for residential and commercial purposes. Architects use the surveys along with the photos to decide where and how to build structures. Boundary lines are clearer from the air, making perimeter surveys fast and easy.

Regardless of the type of mapping needed, drone technology is ideally suited for the use. Whatever the infrastructure need might be, and whatever the drone being used, it can quickly prove to be the best friend a property manager can have.
