It is important to recognise the pattern: budgets for surveying open-pit mines, power line networks and also agricultural areas are bayesmap. tight. Professional ground surveys are often quite expensive. It is here where UAV surveying comes in. But an absolute requirement for efficient deployment of a drone in surveying an open-pit mine, an agricultural area or an electricity network is to find the balance between what is needed and what is possible Geomares Publishing P.O.
