Drones are now able to address some of the unique challenges faced while surveying an area. Drones can collect land survey data at a much faster rate and with a much higher degree of accuracy than the traditional land-based surveyors. This helps speed up the surveying process and ensures that the actual project development work will start on time.

What are Contour lines? Contour lines are generated by connecting all the points of similar elevation together. These lines are drawn on a plan of a particular terrain to understand the nature of surface, identify cut fill volume, study water flow characteristics, estimate valley depth and steepness. Contour lines form a smooth curve of same elevation points. Contour lines are also called as isohypse, isoline, isopleth, or isarithm. Contour maps are generated of Hill Ranges, Valleys, … Continue reading Contour lines generated using Aerial Drone Survey
