Advantages, applications and deliverables of drone surveying

[Shovelhead]

Hello all,

I'm putting together a presentation for potential clients and am itemizing the advantages, deliverables and applications of drone surveying vs terrestrial methods and plane photogrammetry. This is what I have so far, please feel free to add to it.

Advantages:
More complete data set, faster and safer data acquisition, can combine oblique and terrestrial imagery with nadir images, can map true locations of tree canopies, dont have to return to site to map more features or pick up more ground shots

Deliverables:
Ortho imagery, 3d point cloud, 3d model, gcp and check shot residuals, dtm and dsm, contours, autocad site plan

Applications:
Topographic surveys, as-builts, property line encroachment, surface creating (bare earth or near bare earth)
