What Are the Different
Types of Aerial Mapping
Drones and How Should You
Select One
Aerial mapping drones have a variety of applications in the mapping
and land surveying industries. They are used to assist surveyors in
quickly, easily, and affordably mapping big areas. The purpose of
deploying drones is to improve processes and minimize time-
consuming manual mapping and surveying. Furthermore, the high-
quality, editable images and imprints taken by drones are far more
concise and effective for capturing specific information of landmarks
and assets needed for mapping and surveying.
Types of Surveying Drones
Fixed Wing Drones, Single Rotor
Drones, and Multi-Rotor Drones - VTOL
Helicopter UAVs are the three types of
surveying drones.
● Drones with Fixed Wings
● Drones with a single rotor
● Drones with Multiple Rotors
Drones with Fixed Wings
Fixed Wing Drones are drones with fixed
wings that resemble unmanned aircraft.
Because these drones have fixed plane-like
wings, they can't stay in one place and must
move to cross the distance. This can be
problematic if you require your drone to
stay in the air in order to take better images
of the region you're trying to cover.
Drones with a single rotor
Single rotor drones resemble helicopters and are powered by a
gas motor for long-term operation. The launch of this sort of
drone is comparable to that of helicopters, which require
particular training for operators. These drones' aerodynamics
are particularly good, featuring rotor blades for slow yet
prolonged spins. Operators and surveyors must have an
aviation license to operate it, as it might pose safety risks if not
driven carefully.
VTOL Quadcopter UAVs are multi-rotor drones with vertical
take-off and landing (VTOL). These quadcopters require a lot
of energy to stay aloft. Surveyors must first push the control
throttle to make these multi-rotor drones spin the
propellers. Then, in order to lift off the ground, additional
throttle push is required. Multi-rotor drones are mostly
utilized to film aerial views in the air.
Drones with Multiple Rotors
Now that we've established the different
types of mapping/surveying drones, it's
important to consider the aspects to
consider when purchasing a surveying
drone.
● The right type
● Camera quality
● Compatibility with RTK
Important Considerations When Choosing a
Mapping/Surveying Drone
As previously indicated, selecting one would not be
difficult. Fixed-wing and multi-rotor drones can both help
in aerial mapping surveys. It is determined by your budget,
the size of the survey area, and how well you can operate
them.
The right type
To take better shots for aerial
surveying, you need not just an
efficient drone, but also one
with a high-quality camera
capable of taking clear and
detailed images. As a result,
use a camera that can catch as
many minute details on the
ground as feasible.
Camera quality
Drones now have GPS built in for tracking their location.
During autonomous flight, the GPS offers flight stabilization
and tracking systems for drones. During mapping surveys, the
GPS receiver geotags photographs automatically. Mapping
software can produce a 3D representation of the landscape
taken by the drone using spatial data.
Compatibility with RTK
Falcon 3D aerial mapping drones in order to get
the finest one for your fieldwork. I hope the drone
type comparison and variables helped you realize
what you require. If you have any queries, please
contact us.
