Retrofit Reimagined - UAV Workshop with Paul MacMahon
NDSA Branch Secretary Paul delivered a workshop on UAV applications in Architecture
Each survey is uniquely tailored to achieving the aims of the survey. Output requirements, such as point cloud, will determine variables such as manual versus autonomous flying, flight frequency and duration, and speed of the device and camera orientation.
Further variables from the specifics of the site also come into influencing the planning of the survey flight.
Outputs achievable from UAV survey as such this can include:
Photo survey
Orthophoto
DEM
Dense Point Cloud
Point Cloud Classification
Cross Sections
Contours
2D CAD plans of buildings and site
2D CAD Sections
Dimension extractions from Point Cloud
Example of some of those outputs, or deliverables, can be seen below.
