Workshop Topic – 4 Tips to Success When Mapping with Drones

By on 29 August, 2024

Hosted by Eric Andelin CP, Senior Workflow Advisor, SimActive with guest speaker Gordon Morris, Owner of GMAPSNZ

With the relatively low costs involved in drone ownership, there has been an explosion in new mapping companies. As the value of drones for mapping begins to plateau on the hype curve, there is ample opportunity for those early adopters to share their knowledge helping others avoid the mistakes they may have made. This ranges from selecting the right drone for mapping to choosing the right processing software and tools for validation. Gordon Morris with GMAPSNZ in New Zealand joins us to discuss some of the pitfalls he’s seen and share his path to success.  

Specifically, attendees will learn about the following:

  • Planning for what you’re mapping
  • Choosing the right drone for the mission
  • Developing processing workflows
  • Understanding options in Correlator3D
