How to Plan Accurate Drone Surveys with Ground Control Points (GCPs)

High-accurate drone surveys are fundamental to cartography, engineering design, and precision agriculture. Higher spatial accuracy results in maps, models, and measurements that more closely resemble the real world, helping professionals make accurate, data-driven analyses and decisions. To maximize the effectiveness of your GCPs, they must be properly positioned; having too few can lead to imprecise […]

Understanding The Role Of Surveyors In Construction Projects

By: Kudakwashe Mugarisanwa “Land surveyors can spend as much time reading legislation, bylaws, and engineering documents as we spend in front of an instrument in the field or calculating coordinates for a subdivision. We are mathematicians, historians, project managers, advocates, engineers, and even chainsaw operators!” ~ Mark Mason Who Is A Surveyor? A surveyor measures
