Nowadays, technology has had a huge impact on professions that used to be done manually. Surveying is one such profession that has grown in importance and effectiveness through the use of modern techniques and tools. In particular, there are many benefits that a surveyor can derive from drone data and the SkySnap portal. In this article, we will take a closer look at them.

Drone in surveying

Drones have long been used by surveyors to collect field data on a larger scale and with greater precision than ever before. With them, surveyors can obtain high-resolution images that enable them to create accurate maps and terrain models. Using a drone allows for faster, cheaper and more efficient work compared to traditional surveying methods.

Benefits of using the SkySnap portal

SkySnap is a platform that connects drone owners and surveying professionals. This portal enables the transfer, storage and processing of data from a drone, giving surveyors access to detailed and accurate field data. With them, surveyors can create 3D models, orthophotos or conduct surface and volume measurements. SkySnap also offers the ability to buy and sell drone data, giving surveyors a range of business opportunities.

Integration of drone data with surveying tools

SkySnap not only enables the transmission and storage of drone data, but also its integration with popular surveying tools. This combination of technologies gives surveyors the ability to use drone data to create accurate maps, terrain models and to manage surveying projects. As a result, the surveyor’s work is more efficient and accurate.

Potential for the future

The use of drones and the SkySnap portal in surveying, is just the beginning. Drone technology is becoming more advanced every day, and the SkySnap portal is constantly adding new features and capabilities. The potential for the future is enormous. Polish surveying is also showing increasing interest in this modern method of work.

Surveying is a hugely important field, which, thanks to the use of new technologies, has become even more efficient and precise. Surveyor’s work using drone data and SkySnap portal is no longer the future, but the present.

    In modern construction and surveying, data has become the new currency, whose real value depends on one uncompromising factor - accuracy. While traditional field surveying has for years been regarded as synonymous with reliability, drone photogrammetry is still sometimes seen by some as a glamorous but risky gadget. This is misguided thinking, as a properly designed raid process and professional processing can achieve geodetic precision of 1-5 cm, saving hundreds of hours of work. Therefore, it is worth considering how to move from the stage of taking aesthetically pleasing photos to creating full-fledged engineering documentation that will pass any inspection.
