Drone laser scanning

How does drone laser scanning differ from photogrammetry?

While photogrammetry is a widely used and respected method for 3D modeling, drone laser scanning brings certain unique features that make it an excellent alternative in specific conditions. Laser scanning is capable of collecting data with remarkable accuracy and detail, which is especially valuable in challenging environments and complex sites.

Photogrammetry is still a very effective and reliable tool for many applications, but the advantage of laser scanning lies in its ability to perform exceptionally well under varying lighting conditions. This makes laser scanning a flexible solution capable of producing high-quality data even in challenging weather conditions.

Thus, both drone laser scanning and photogrammetry are valuable tools in 3D modeling and data collection, each with its own strengths and application areas. The choice between the two methods depends on the specific requirements and conditions of each individual project.
