Multi-sensor drones for resource characterization


Multi-sensor drones for resource characterization

Lorenz, S.; Booysen, R.; Thiele, S. T.; Madriz Diaz, Y. C.; Kirsch, M.; Gloaguen, R.

Conventional geological mapping is limited by survey size, access, complex target geometries and public acceptance. We develop drone-based mapping platforms to mitigate these challenges.
Drones provide unique platforms for lightweight sensors, allowing:

  • Rapid deployment and objective data collection
  • Accurate 3D reconstruction using photogrammetry or Lidar sensors
  • Large coverage at high spatial (or temporal) resolution
  • Safe and practical access to complex relief (e.g., cliffs, mines)
  • Mapping of the surface and subsurface
