I recently dug up some helpful links for land surveyors out there who are interested in getting involved with Aerial Photogrammetry or simply incorporating aerial photography into their surveying work.

Anyone looking for RC/UAV/Drone Photogrametry or LIDAR surveying, PLease get in touch with me. I have years of experience flying fixed wing and multirotor aircraft and am looking to put together a network of people interested in surveying from low altitude, unmanned aircraft. Specifically LIDAR point cloud imaging.
