How Modern Technology Is Transforming the Field of Surveying Surveying had always been an industry of measuring tapes, theodolites, and painstaking fieldwork until recently. Modern technologies have not only made the traditional processes much easier but have also expanded what is possible with mapping, construction, land development, and environmental monitoring. Modern surveyors take advantage of tools that offer unprecedented accuracy, speed, and efficiency. With this in mind, in this blog, we examine the main technologies transforming the industry and the resulting benefits. 1. Drones (UAVs): A New Perspective from Above Unmanned Aerial Vehicles have become one of the most influential innovations in surveying. How drones enhance surveying Faster data collection: Large areas of a scene can be mapped in minutes, as compared to hours or days. High-resolution imagery: Photogrammetry software converts images into accurate 2D maps and 3D models. Access to hard-to-reach areas: it ena...
