A traditional survey measures selected points on the ground with a total station, GNSS receiver or level, and records them as plans and contours. A drone aerial survey flies a UAV over the site, captures overlapping images or laser data, and processes them into maps, elevation models and 3D data that cover the entire surface. […]
What is Drone Aerial Survey? Process, Equipment & Uses
A drone aerial survey uses an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) fitted with a camera or LiDAR sensor to capture overlapping images or laser data of land from the air. The data is processed into georeferenced outputs such as orthomosaic maps, elevation models, contours, 3D models and volume reports. It is faster and safer than manual […]
LiDAR Survey vs Traditional Survey: Key Differences
A traditional survey measures selected points on the ground using a total station, GNSS receiver or level, and records them as plans and contours. A LiDAR survey fires millions of laser pulses and captures the whole surface as a dense 3D point cloud. Traditional methods suit small, simple plots. LiDAR suits large, uneven, forested or […]
What is LiDAR Survey? Process, Equipment & Uses
A LiDAR survey (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing method that fires millions of laser pulses at the ground and structures, measures how long each pulse takes to return, and builds an accurate 3D point cloud of the surface. At Surveying India, our LiDAR survey services turn that data into terrain models, contour […]
