Aerial Mapping and Surveying
Today, thanks to the development of laser surveying, numerous companies that offer aerial mapping offer a range of aerial surveying services, particularly when laser scanning is their core practice. It is also important to note that aerial studies include the creation of three-dimensional maps through precise measurements of elevation and location, in contrast to aerial photography, which normally does not consist of the exact same level of detail or information, although three-dimensional designs can be developed using aerial pictures. While LiDAR and associated methods represent the cutting edge of aerial surveying, the idea of aerial mapping and surveying dates back to the middle of the 19th century, when hot air balloons permitted surveyors to take the very first aerial photographs. The reason why aerial mapping is a much better choice when taking aerial images is its high-quality output and the security it supplies to the individual taking the shot. Depending on the field you want to pay attention to, the job of aerial mapping can be categorized into 3 parts: the pilot who takes a helicopter up in the air, a photographer who likes to take aerial images that will be utilized for maps, or a cartographer who want to decipher some aerial pictures into maps.
