Understanding Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) and Its Importance in Drone Surveys
Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) is a crucial metric in the world of drone surveying, defining the distance between the centres of two consecutive pixels on the ground. In simpler terms, GSD indicates the level of detail that can be captured in an image taken by a drone. For example, a GSD of 5 cm means that each pixel in the image represents a 5 cm by 5 cm area on the ground. Why is GSD Important? GSD directly impacts the

Photogrammetry vs. LiDAR: Understanding the Differences in Technology, Costs, and Deliverables
In the realm of drone surveying, two primary technologies dominate the field: Photogrammetry and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). Both have unique strengths, costs, and deliverables, making them suitable for different use cases. At Two70° Drone Survey and Services, we leverage both technologies to provide our clients with the most accurate and detailed data possible. In this blog post, we’ll explore the key differences between Photogrammetry and LiDAR, along with their respective costs and applications.
