ABSTRACT: Drone technology has advanced rapidly in the past few years allowing for LiDAR and advanced photogrammetry techniques to be readily available for a wide spectrum of projects. This presentation will dive into the world of drones and the various sensors available to create survey grade data. When to use LiDAR over photogrammetry and what benefits you can expect to receive out of both methods will be discussed in detail. A variety of projects will be displayed where multiple sensors were used, from mapping of campuses using photogrammetry to environmental mapping of shorelines with LiDAR. 3D modeling of bridges and buildings using LiDAR and photogrammetry will also be discussed in this presentation.
