Drone Technology in Architecture, Engineering and Construction : A Strategic Guide to Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Operation and Implementation by Jon Altschuld

A start-to-finish roadmap on incorporating drone technology into your AEC firm?workflow? Drone Technology in Architecture, Engineering and Construction: A Strategic Guide to Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Operation and Implementation?is the only process-driven,?step-by-step?handbook?to implement drone technology in AEC workflows.?It provides a comprehensive and practical roadmap?for architecture, engineering, and construction firms?to incorporate drones into their?design and construction processes.? The book offers?extensive information on drone data processing,?and?includes?guidance on?how to acquire, manipulate and use the various data types produced from drone flights.?The?creation?of?three-dimensional?data?and visualizations?are?covered in-depth.?Drone Technology?reviews?how to select and fly drones?based on data needs and initial costs,?and how to collect and maintain required flight logs, licenses, and permits.?? Drone Technology?uses several?real-world?project?examples?that demonstrate and explain how drones can be used to collect:? ????????? Full-color?orthorectified?imagery? ????????? Accurate?3D?point cloud and mesh models? ????????? Topographic contours? ????????? Digital Elevation Models (DEMs)? The project examples also describe how these datasets can be integrated with 3D models of proposed conditions, photos, and other project datasets.? Drone Technology?in Architecture, Engineering and Construction?is?an essential guide?for a wide variety of professionals, from?civil engineers to?landscape architects.?It provides information?on professional use of drones for those?just considering the technology, to those already flying drones professionally.?It is an invaluable guide for anyone working?in the design?or construction of buildings and landscapes.??
