Structural QC with RTK Drones

Good morning from Texas! I haven’t posted in a while but wanted to hop on to share some amazing things we are doing with our drones now thanks to the Emlid hardware and local NTRIP. Below are some snippets from a Cast-In-Place structural concrete wall. This is actually a form check because the...

I wonder what kind of accuracy their point cloud is versus using LIDAR?

Thanks for sharing!

I am still not sure how so many people pick Pix4D over Metashape.

My new use for Metashape is using our state LIDAR data to make DEMs (DSM or DTM) for various reasons.

Well, the #1 reason for not choosing Metashape now is because it has Russian origins, but in my opinion it's marketing. I actually had our IT department tell me that we would never get Metashape because of its origins and it's a "security risk". They had no response when I told them it didn't need to be connected to the internet to work, but protocol is protocol so I just remote into my personal business processing machine... People don't know any better and Pix4D is what was put in front of them. I don't think most people care about understanding the process, they just want it to work and if that is the mindset they will never miss what they don't know is possible.

For sure. What one hears about the most tends to becomes their standard. It's the whole point of marketing.
