Over the past few years, there has been a tremendous increase in the use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), otherwise known as “drones”, in land surveying applications.

Significant advances in UAS capabilities and in photogrammetry software have significantly reduced the barrier to generating digital surface models (DSM) and orthomosaics from georeferenced aerial imagery.
