Abstract
"AeroPoints are smart ground control points: rugged visual targets with integrated GPS and precision post-processing, designed for use with small drones for fast, highly accurate photogrammetry-based surveying. Combined with the Propeller online platform, they make it exceptionally simple to capture and deliver accurate geo-referenced drone-based surveys. This paper outlines the key features of the AeroPoints geo-referencing system as well as the results of several testing phases undertaken by drone pilots and surveying teams designed to validate the real world accuracy of AeroPoints under a variety of conditions and configurations."
This presentation is being provided in conjunction with Propeller Aero.
