Drone Technology in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction: A Strategic Guide to Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Operation and Implementation is the ultimate process-driven, step-by-step handbook for integrating drone technology into AEC workflows. This comprehensive guide offers architecture, engineering, and construction firms a comprehensive and practical roadmap to incorporate drones into their design and construction processes.

The book provides extensive information on drone data processing, including guidance on how to acquire, manipulate, and use the various data types produced from drone flights. It delves into the creation of three-dimensional data and visualizations, covering topics such as orthorectified imagery, accurate 3D point cloud and mesh models, topographic contours, and digital elevation models (DEMs).

In addition to its technical aspects, Drone Technology in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction also reviews how to select and fly drones based on data needs and initial costs, as well as how to collect and maintain required flight logs, licenses, and permits. Real-world project examples are used throughout the book to demonstrate and explain how drones can be used to collect various types of data, including full-color orthorectified imagery, accurate 3D point cloud and mesh models, topographic contours, and DEMs.

These datasets can then be integrated with 3D models of proposed conditions, photos, and other project datasets to create comprehensive visualizations and analyses. Whether you are a civil engineer, landscape architect, or just considering the technology, Drone Technology in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction is an essential guide for professionals working in the design or construction of buildings. It provides information on professional use of drones for those just starting out, as well as those already flying drones professionally.

With its comprehensive coverage of drone technology, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to stay ahead of the curve in the rapidly evolving field of AEC.
