In this video, we put two drone surveying methods to the test on a real 200-acre construction site in Flint, Michigan. Join us as we compare a traditional drone photogrammetry workflow with Propeller's innovative PPK processing solution using their Aeropoints.

Which method will prove to be more efficient and accurate? We'll walk you through the entire process, from setting up ground control points to flying the DJI M4E drone and processing the data. You'll get a detailed look at the streamlined workflow of Propeller's PPK solution and see how it stacks up against a conventional approach.

We'll dive into the final results and compare the accuracy reports from both data sets. You'll see how Propeller's cloud-based platform makes processing and analyzing your survey data simple, from creating detailed 3D models and contour lines to calculating stockpile volumes and overlaying CAD designs.

Whether you're a seasoned surveyor or new to drone mapping, this video will give you a clear understanding of the benefits and workflows of each method.
