• Questions/ Discussion
Surveying With sUAS- Beyond The Hype Regional Sustaining Partner
Hype n. extravagant or intensive publicity or promotion
“Our UAV is capable of covering ground areas ranging from 1.5km2 - 10km2 (at 3cm - 30cm pixels) to provide results to as low as 5cm horizontal and vertical”

Beyond The Hype
1. Surveying Expertise- Survey Data Quality and Integrity
“A horse that can count to ten is a remarkable horse,
not a remarkable mathematician”…….. Samuel Johnson- Writer

Beyond The Hype
1. Surveying Expertise- Survey Data Quality and Integrity It’s a surveying/ mapping job- is UAV the right tool?
• Need to understand project requirements and apply the best solution:
• How is the data to be used?
• Accuracy, precision?
• Resolution?
• Error budget?
• Raw outputs?
• Derived deliverables?
• Timeliness of delivery?
• Cost effectiveness?
• Alternative method?
• Who’s signing off?

5. Technology Evolution • UAV
• Increased duration
• Increased payload capacity
• Improved flight, navigation performance
• Sensors
• Miniaturisation, resolution
• Multiple band, lidar
• Improved gimbals
• Plug and play modules
• RTK
Accelerated hardware obsolescence

Beyond The Hype
Use an Expert or Become an Expert
• It’s a surveying job, not necessarily a flying job, be open minded
• Is the data workflow going to give me the result I need?
• Additional legal obligations
• Is the UAS fit for purpose?
• Can I stay current?
It’s all about data integrity and quality- beware the “remarkable horse”!
