This document discusses using drones for aerial imagery collection as a more cost-effective alternative to airplanes and helicopters. It notes that while large aircraft can image large areas at high resolution and accuracy, they are expensive for remote areas. Small drones can image smaller areas at lower resolutions but with average accuracy. The document then outlines the solution developed using a medium-sized fixed-wing drone carrying a small Sony camera to match the capabilities of plane-based imagery collection for remote areas at a lower cost.
