Hybridizing UAS Based Remote Sensing for GIS Mobile Data Collection by Matt Nanney (AECOM)

This presentation provides an overview of lessons learned from UAS survey and mobile data collection projects. Discrete example of project hiccups and corrections will be discussed focusing on the technical side of the experience. Frequently mobile data collection, inspections, and UAS inspection can be implemented as complimentary technologies. However, it requires adapting each party’s workflow to provide that level of collaborative engagement. Implementing a “collect quality data first” mindset is found to be a better tactic than a “fix it during processing” despite potential delays in the field or longer field days.
