Utilising multiple data collection methods in the Surveying and Geospatial industries can prove to be advantageous in a multitude of applications; from developing more productive workflows to creating more holistic products. With new technology constantly being developed, integrating these technologies with existing methods is crucial to keep up with the times.

​

This project focused on combining two specific data collection methods and their associated datasets; Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and aerial photogrammetry. The TLS with be performed using a traditional laser scanning system and the aerial photogrammetry employing the use of a commercially available drone.
