Webinar Replay: Tips and Tricks to Build a Drone Mapping Business

Originally Aired: Wednesday, February 12, 2018 at 7 pm EST We field all queries related to the mapping industry in this 02.12.18 webinar. Paul starts off with a neat presentation which highlight some lucrative mapping applications. What are some of the applications of LiDAR? Can you use mapping in sports analytics? How about creating interactive maps and models for marketing? We also showcase our past work which includes a baseball stadium and a hotel in Bora Bora among other things. We also discuss the best drones and cameras for mapping. Processing data is another topic that we delve into. Are there any good alternatives to Pix4D? Tune in and some great insights from Paul and Doug. Also, watch out for information that about our forthcoming in person training classes.
