Today's episode is about 3D drone mapping. What is the ideal climate for getting accurate mapping data? Does KP-index and the presence of reflective materials impact the quality of 3D mapping data?

Our caller, Derrick has come up with a great question today. New to the drone business, Derrick is wondering about the ideal conditions for 3D drone mapping. Are ideal conditions different for photogrammetry and 3D drone mapping? Should you shoot a mapping mission on a sunny day or an overcast day? You will also learn how KP-index and reflective materials affect the quality of your 3D mapping data. Tune in now. Fly Safe!
