Abstract
Geomatics in a UAV World
Track: Surveying Business
Authors: Joseph Paiva
UAVs, or more properly UAS, for unmanned airborne system, are becoming popular in many parts of the world to solve many surveying and mapping problems that were impossible, or previously too expensive to do. As the regulatory environment increases, the field will become more competitive. How will UASs be used? What differences are there between operating this sensor and other more established sensors like total stations, RTK and laser scanners. Based on the experience of current users and looking at where the technology is going, these and more topics will be presented.
