Abstract

Nowadays modern surveying techniques or instruments like DGPS, LiDAR and Drones are widely used as they cover more area in less time for surveying. Such techniques can even be used where visiting survey areas are tough or not possible. Drones are used instead of traditional surveying in a village named Nesave. Drones are used to capture images and process them using specialized software such as Agisoft Metashape Professionals and QGIS (Quantum Geographic Information System) Desktop 3.34.3. Image acquisition orthomosaic Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and data processing is done in Metashape. High-resolution cameras are used in drones to capture aerial images which are then processed and analyzed in Metashape and planning done in QGIS. This drone survey required less time along with manpower and also a large number of areas can be covered in the survey using a drone.

Keywords: Drone survey, Agisoft Metashape, QGIS (Quantum Geographic Information System), orthomosaic, digital elevation models (DEMs)
