The use of the drone offers the possibility of approaching surfaces that are difficult or even impossible to assess with the help of land surveying tools. With the help of professional drones, high-resolution images can be recorded for any type of terrain, with centimetric accuracy, regardless of whether it is an uneven surface, swamps, land where dangerous materials or substances are stored, forested areas or very large areas. Drone photogrammetry is a technique used to measure, metrically and graphically represent an area of land or other objects of interest, using aerial photographs. This photogrammetric method using drones is used to perform topographical measurements with centimetres accuracy and to make digital land models, topographic plans and many other applications for surveying and geodesy on large, drilled areas, agriculture, construction.
