Drone and Other Aerial Imagery Market Scope
A digital mapping camera mounted on a light aircraft may collect digital aerial imagery (DAI). The DAI is used for topographic and thematic map creation. The cost of getting DAI is quite high, yet it is ideal for covering a vast region. DAI is not cost-effective and only appropriate for small-area coverage. As a result, a different approach should be utilised to meet this demand. The use of a tiny format digital camera connected to a light aircraft and the use of a small format attached to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or a Drone are two different techniques for acquiring DAI. Drones have been reported to be utilised in a wide range of applications, including mapping (e.g. map revision, landslides, coastal erosion, archaeology, forestry), industrial (e.g. engineering, crash accident), Geographic Information System (GIS) applications, and more.
