Tips On Drone Survey
The drones survey utilization has become widespread across various fields in the UAE & the world, representing a significant technological advancement that has transformed the way the world operates.
A few of the services we provide include surveying, mapping, surveillance, and AI-based drone survey data analysis and processing, and we are well-versed in drone technology in market trends.
The production of precise centimeter-level topographic maps using GIS Drones is ongoing at any given time. In addition, our clients receive their deliverables faster, enabling them to make timely decisions about their projects, thanks to our fleet of high-end surveying drones and a crew of qualified pilots with experience.

Drones VS Traditional Surveying Methods
Aerial surveying with drones is divided into two primary considerations: the platform and the sensor:
- The platform – Can be multi-rotor or fixed-wing, with a VTOL system as an option.
- The sensor– Can be RGB, multispectral, lidar, or thermal, with some configurations allowing for the simultaneous use of two sensors.
Further, drone surveying can generate orthophotos, DTMs, contours, high-resolution RGB or thermal inspection pictures, and 3D point clouds.

Surveying & Mapping is Topography surveying, which produces orthomosaic maps, contour lines, and elevations.
Provides a platform for up-close inspection of the object or location. The surveyors are able to use these platforms repeatedly. Scaffolding has advantages, but there are significant worker safety problems. Someone working at a height may drop tools or pieces of equipment accidentally. Any machinery that malfunctions are hazardous.
While safer than scaffolding, rope access inspection is only partially secure. An IRATA-certified rope access technician does it. No matter how experienced, there is always a chance of dropping something or making a small error. And during rope access inspection, these errors pose a severe risk to human life.
You can hire MEWPs (Mobile Elevating Work Platforms) to do inspections. They may provide easy access to constricted portions of a site. However, MEWP is only suitable for some types of setups. Additionally, only some firms can afford it because of its cost. Although this approach is comparatively safer than the others, it is still possible for mistakes to be made, for things to fall, or for machinery to break down.
What Are Some Of The Benefits Of Each Method?
With some trade-offs, both survey methodologies have significant advantages. It is up to you, the skilled surveyor, to determine the optimal option while considering the data quality and company targets.
Benefits of Drone Surveying
- Results with good accuracy, although better than those from complete stations.
- Quick data collection
- Multispectral and thermal surveys
- Longer visibility
- Contactless data collecting hence reducing hazardous risks
- Wide coverage
- Orthophoto and 3D point clouds are supplied as standard outputs of procedures using images.
Benefits of Over Traditional Land Surveying
- Operations may be delayed by the few “permissions” needed.
- More covert and less divisive than drones for residences close to the site
- Independent of the state of the weather
- Before office processing, topographic linework has already been “drawn.”
- More consistent and repeatable accuracy
The Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 camera drone has a 1-inch 20MP CMOS sensor, a mechanical shutter that prevents rolling shutter distortion, and a 3-axis, motorised gimbal. In addition, there is a smartphone holder on the standard controller.
To operate your drone, you must download the DJI GO 4 App to your phone. In regard to flying capabilities, the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 is one of the best in the market. OcuSync 2.0 enables automatic frequency switching, 1080p livestreaming, and an 8 km transmission range with a top flying speed of 72 kph.
The Phantom 4 RTK now features a new RTK module that offers centimeter-level location data in real-time for increased absolute precision in image metadata. Phantom 4 RTK preserves Post Processed Kinematics (PPK) satellite observation data. This can be done by utilising DJI Cloud PPK Service* and maximising flight safety and accurate data collection.
To top our list is the sense Fly S.O.D.A. 1-inch 20MP sensor with the senseFly eBee X with RTK/PPK Activation. The data quality is outstanding, with high-quality, swappable payloads. The primary drawbacks are the cost and incapacity to fly at low altitudes or in confined spaces; fixed-wing aircraft simply cannot fly slowly and low.
Using a fixed-wing aircraft will save a lot of time if a specific site is more than 50 acres, and the senseFly eBee X is the best fixed-wing aircraft available in the market.
Conclusion
For many reasons, drones are increasingly essential in the surveying sector. Based on the time, surveying investigations determine the separation and location of two points in a 3D OR 2-dimensional space. This information informs crucial decisions on property border delineation, infrastructure upkeep, and planning development sites.

FAQs
To safeguard people’s privacy, federal and local authorities forbid flying drones over residential areas. You need a no-objection certificate from DCAA to fly a drone in Dubai.
Several desktop deployment providers allow a drone mapping program to be upgraded. This software enables the offline conversion of drone photos into 2D and 3D models. While still in the field, georeferenced maps can be produced quickly.
Drone maps can have horizontal and vertical accuracy of about 2-3 cm and 6–8 cm, respectively. This is made possible using high-quality drone equipment, careful flight planning, commercial-grade GPS ground control points, and commercial-grade processing software.
Drone mapping, also known as aerial surveying, captures photos from the air and digitally “stitching” them together to create a 3D map of a construction site.
Drone 3D mapping refers to drone imagery obtained using laser scanning, aerial photogrammetry methods, and photogrammetry software that offers a realistic depiction of a site.
