    Measuring the Efficiency of Aerial Surveys

    Aerial surveys are often discussed in terms of accuracy, point density or sensor choice. These factors matter, but they do not determine how long a project takes to complete or what the acquisition will cost. A major contributor to both duration and cost is the amount of flying required to execute the project. Operating an…
