Everything new in drone-based mapping, surveying, geodesy and terrain engineering. Professional coverage of LiDAR sensors, advanced photogrammetry, digital twins for construction and infrastructure projects, and fixed-wing VTOLs and payloads for precision surveying.
The COVID-19 crisis is speeding up the shift to drone-based stockpile and mine surveying, with DJI's Phantom 4 RTK platform and cloud services like Propeller Aero and Kespry leading the charge.
Swiss company senseFly, part of the Parrot and AgEagle group, has unveiled the eBee X, a fixed-wing mapping drone capable of covering up to 500 hectares in a single flight and reaching accuracy of about 1.5 centimeters without ground control points.
American drone maker Skydio has launched a new hardware platform called X2, paired with an upgraded version of its autonomous flight software, aimed squarely at enterprise and government customers.
Propeller Aero is integrating DJI's Matrice 100 drone and Wingtra's VTOL drones into its cloud platform, creating a ready-to-use surveying solution for construction and mining sites that requires no in-house GIS expert.
Drone mapping software company DroneDeploy has closed a $50 million Series E round, less than three months after a previous $35 million round. The company plans to expand its analytics capabilities and push into new industries.
