What Would You Choose- Drone Or Terrestrial LiDAR?What would you opt for, data captured using drone equipped with camera or data captured using a terrestrial laser scanner.
Historically, the lidar based technology was used to capture the data, but as of now, professionals are relying on drones. Basically, cost, strength and weakness are the major discussion points in the Drone vs. LiDar argument.
When the large area is to be surveyed, choose for drone, but when a high degree of accuracy is important, terrestrial LiDAR is the best choice.
Drones are best to use when a job requires mapping around a power line or another obstruction. On the other hand, mapping below a tree canopy or another obstruction requires LiDAR.
