UAV Mapping: Maximizing Accuracy with Ground Control Points
In the world of geospatial mapping, precision is everything. Enter Ground Control Points (GCPs)—the unsung heroes that ensure our digital maps and images align perfectly with the real world. Ground control points are easily identifiable locations on the Earth’s surface where geographic coordinates have been observed and verified. GCPs are vital for tasks like georeferencing […]
The Rise of UAVs: Transforming the Cinematic Landscape
Image by Richard Bolan from Pixabay In recent years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have revolutionized the world of filmmaking.
