Drone enables topographic
surveys of the same quality as
highly accurate measurements
collected by traditional methods,
but in a fraction of time. This
substantially reduces the cost of
a site survey and efforts. Today
drones coupled with Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and Machine
Learning (ML) can use large data
sets (such as aerial images) for
processing in a semi-automatic
manner. This has become possible
due to an immense and rapid
increase in processing power,
reducing costs of storage and
availability of digital data in the
recent years.
